Levers Of Change

The “corporate system”, which drives conceptual changes in branding, represents the competitive structure of the industry (Porter & Millar, 1985, p. 153). It encapsulates consolidation processes, internationalization of industries, disruption developments within industries etc. This corporate system will definitely look different in 2025 as compared to today (Denning, 2014, 2016; Leavy, 2016). Even for players, which are no business corporations - for instance cities, NGOs, associations, foundations etc. – an equivalent for such a “corporate system” exists. It represents the “playing field structure” for similar players who compete for attention of their clients.

This chapter proposes three main levers of change which are discussed in the subsequent sections (Refer to Figure 1):

  • •

    Society

  • •

    Technology (Chen & Popovich, 2003)

  • •

    Customer Behavior
