SMART Goals and Self-Leadership Goal After reading the scholarly article on branding management strategy, I realized that the main idea is to inform readers of the amount of challenges many companies face to develop products and services, and most importantly brand. The article reading leads the belief that if resources are targeted consistently, with good decisions in investments, the aim will worth the effort, and not farfetched to achieve. We all must also realize that a brand with a good object will securely achieve at a high success. Branding involves the creation of a name that is unique to the product extend on the market. It is the name that portrays the image for the product in the minds of consumers. I found that the authors write about this topic because they feel the need to bring out the importance of branding when it comes to the market, and the choice of the consumers with majority of businesses.

Overall the text on the topic in relationship to other readings stands out because even though the article is written mainly on the sense of branding, the topic brings out other aspects such as, customers demands, productions requirements, and the integration of product and branding in one segment. Other articles I have read just mainly speak about the brand or the management of branding totally without the incorporation of other possible factors. A few things I see this article could have included is to at least give the basic of the starting game of branding, and the connection of where it actually fits in the plan of a market. However after carefully analyzing the article, I do feel that much critique is not operable at this time. The article did speak about the importance
