Alessandro Biraglia and Bill Davvetas

Dr Alessandro Biraglia and Dr Bill Davvetas discuss their recent research, looking at the increased preference for independent brands, and how this can be affected depending on a country’s culture. They also discuss what larger organisations planning on acquiring independents need to know about how the acquisition can affect consumers’ perception of the brand.
