We are on chapter 3, which concerns why a growing number of companies now focus more on boosting their corporate image rather than on promoting specific products. This means that it is now more important what customers think about the company as a whole. For instance, TV commercial of some companies do not give a clue what kind of products they sell but try to tell the viewers how they contribute to society and efforts they are making to make the world a better place. It seems like rather an abstract concept. But what they are aiming for is that once their potential customers have a good image about the company, their products have priority over competitors.
