explore the brands and branding and their relevance for any industry, product, brand, strategic plan, cultural phenomenon (such as subculture group…), economic problem, demographic trend, multicultural contrast, global issue, consumption phenomenon, career objective etc. that they wish to explore

From the conceptual and theoretical issues presented in lectures and through your privately directed readings of relevant material, students can explore the brands and branding and their relevance for any industry, product, brand, strategic plan, cultural phenomenon (such as subculture group…), economic problem, demographic trend, multicultural contrast, global issue, consumption phenomenon, career objective etc. that they wish to explore. Whatever topic you pick, in the essay you must explain some theory that related to your topic and some theory about the “consumers and brand”.
A very good book which comes with all sorts of examples of brand contexts being analysed with interesting concepts is the volume Brand Culture by Schroeder and Salzer-Morling. You must use the references from this book.
