Overview

Product counterfeits and other brand infringements represent a growing and substantial risk to firms, consumers, and society. While policing such illicit activity is important, there is much that firms can do to protect themselves and their customers. Grounded in field research and practice, this book presents a total business solution approach to brand protection that enables firms to prevent infringement from occurring and respond efficiently when it does. This total business solution provides a framework for building and advancing brand protection programs that are strategic, comprehensive, and evidence based. Coupling perspectives and illustrations from several academic disciplines and industries, this book serves as a road map or blueprint for companies to develop and implement a proactive strategy to protect their brands. It serves as a guide to help firms continuously learn, innovate, and efficiently allocate resources in a way that maximizes brand protection performance. Graduate and executive education programs and scholars in business, law and criminal justice will benefit from adopting Brand Protection and the Global Risk of Product Counterfeits as course reading, research or a valued addition to their personal library. Brand protection practitioners in firms large and small, working in brand protection, security, supply chain, legal, quality assurance, packaging, C-suite, marketing, sales, and related areas will find this book essential in helping them develop a roadmap for establishing a robust brand protection program and take their existing brand protection to the next level of effectiveness and efficiency.

Reviews

'I wish I had this book when I first started in brand protection. Back then, I was in learning mode and constantly seeking sources to inform my strategy and approach. What I found was that there wasn't a lot of practical information readily available about how to combat the problem of illicit trade. With this volume, Jeremy and his cast of expert contributors have helped to fill this gap in practical knowledge in the field. They've laid out a very prescriptive approach about how to build a comprehensive, end-to-end solution-or Total Business Solution -to brand infringement. This book provides an excellent foundation and reference for practitioners and decision makers about what it takes to protect your patients, customers, brands and business from bad actors in the marketplace.' -- Richard Kaeser, Johnson & Johnson, US
