Brands as Essentially Contested Concepts

Item Type Conference or Workshop Item (Poster)
Abstract The consumer literature on branding coalesces around the notion of brands as essentially contested concepts. Using Gallie’s (1956) seminal theory of contestation as a guide, we develop a novel framework to explain why and how brand contestation surfaces and evolves through mutual disruption practices of both consumers and brand’s legal owners.
