As organizations grow, market pressures drive them to expand outside their home markets. Initial growth is often opportunistic and ad-hoc in nature - but as local markets mature they require a more structured approach. Without this structure, the practical side of brand management (operations) and the corporate strategy can easily become misaligned.
Global Information Management (GIM) is the discipline of understanding the processes, people and technology which underlie the internationalization of an organization. An effective GIM approach, as part of a comprehensive corporate strategy, enables an organization to accelerate the creation of content for a global audience, ensuring that content is contextually consistent in message and meets the strategic goals of the global initiative. Managing brands globally requires a focus on Operational Brand Management, as this involves the practical nature of delivering the brand.
