En el presente trabajo nos ocupamos de las personas jurídicas en relación a su derecho y a su deber de llevar un nombre. También nos ocupamos brevemente de los diversos signos distintivos, las marcas, las marcas colectivas, las marcas de certificación, los signos distintivos notorios, las marcas renombradas, los lemas comerciales, las indicaciones de procedencia, las denominaciones de origen y los nombres comerciales. Exponemos como son definidos y su función que es distinta a la función individualizadora de la denominación social y/o razón social. Teniendo en consideración el concepto y función de cada signo distintivo, cuando pueden entrar en conflicto con una denominación y/o razón social. Por último y como recomendación, sugerimos la modificación de la Ley General de Sociedades (1997). / Trabajo de investigación

Um conceito fundamental para a compreensão do papel desempenhado pelas marcas nas sociedades contemporâneas é o de posicionamento, que se refere ao que a marca representa na mente dos consumidores. Neste sentido, uma abordagem que tem despertado, em anos recentes, o interesse de alguns estudiosos do marketing, é o paradigma do arquétipo, que postula a existência do inconsciente coletivo, estrutura da psiqué que conteria as "imagens coletivas" comuns ao gênero humano, e que representam uma tendência inata para perceber a realidade de uma determinada forma. Assim sendo, este estudo integra os conceitos da Teoria dos Arquétipos de Jung e de posicionamento de marca, propondo o alinhamento entre as imagens coletivas presentes na psiqué dos indivíduos os arquétipos, e a gestão estratégica de marketing. Para tanto, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa exploratória relacionada às estratégias de posicionamento adotadas para a marca Ipanema Gisele Bündchen, da empresa Grendene S/A, por meio da qual foi possível compreender de que forma ocorre o processo de transferência do significado simbólico de uma celebridade para a imagem da marca, por meio da atividade de endosso, bem como evidenciar as contribuições provenientes da Teoria dos Arquétipos para as ações destinadas ao adequado posicionamento da marca na estrutura associativa da memória dos consumidores, resultando em considerações teóricas e empíricas capazes de oferecer suporte aos processos estratégicos e gerenciais de posicionamento de marca. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-29T17:25:05Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Giancarlo Dal Bo.pdf: 5382404 bytes, checksum: e234beb4f04f2236357868c98848b50a (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-29T17:25:05Z (GMT).

On that account, the archetype paradigm is an approach that has, in recent years, aroused interest of some marketing experts, suggesting the existence of a collective unconscious, part of the psyche that comprises "collective images" shared by humanity, and represents an innate propensity to perceive reality in a certain way. Therefore, this study consists of concepts of Jung´s Archetype Theory and brand positioning, which proposes an alignment among collective images that are present in the human psyche archetypes, and strategic marketing management. For that reason, an explanatory research was conducted concerning the positioning strategies adopted by the brand Ipanema Gisele Bündchen, by the company Grendene S/A, through which was possible to understand how the process of transference of a celebrity´s symbolic meaning to the brand´s image occurs, through endorsement, as well as indicate the contributions coming from the Archetype Theory for actions that aim at the adequate positioning of the brand in the consumers´ memory associative structure, resulting in theoretical and empirical considerations capable of offering support to brand positioning management and strategic processes.

Knowledge about personal branding, the development and sustaining of a personal brand and the link between personal branding and career success did not exist in a scientifically structured manner. The purpose of this study was to understand what the elements of personal branding are and what it takes to develop a personal brand in the corporate environment. It was also important to identify whether personal branding is key to career success. The systematic literature review procedure was used to identify, analyse and critically evaluate both empirical studies and popular literature relating to personal branding. The current body of knowledge was ill defined and a six step model detailing how to develop and maintain a personal brand was developed as a result of a content analysis of the available popular literature. A measure of a complete personal brand within the workplace was subsequently developed. In this study, the hypotheses of a possible relationship between personal branding and career success (performance appraisal score, 360 leadership evaluation and talent board placement) were tested. It was found that talent board placement was statistically significant and practically related to personal branding. The study was the first to provide a measurement tool as well as empirical evidence on the relationship between personal branding and career success and, as such contributed significantly to the body of knowledge. This study also opened avenues for further research. / Daar was min kennis oor ’n persoonlike handelsmerk, die ontwikkeling en handhawing van ’n persoonlike handelsmerk, en die verband tussen ’n persoonlike handelsmerk en loopbaansukses in die wetenskaplike domein beskikbaar. Die doel van hierdie studie was om die elemente van ’n persoonlike handelsmerk te begryp, asook om te bepaal wat dit behels om ’n persoonlike handelsmerk in die korporatiewe omgewing te ontwikkel. Dit was ook belangrik om te bepaal of ’n persoonlike handelsmerk deurslaggewend is tot loopbaansukses. ‘n Sistematiese literatuuroorsig is gedoen om empiriese studies asook gewilde literatuur oor ’n persoonlike handelsmerk te identifiseer, te ontleed en krities te evalueer. Gegewe beperkte akademiese kennismateriaal, en na aanleiding van die inhoudsontleding van die beskikbare gewilde literatuur, is ’n sesstapmodel ontwikkel om aan te dui hoe ’n persoonlike handelsmerk ontwikkel en gehandhaaf kan word. Na aanleiding hiervan is ’n instrument ontwikkel om ’n person se handelsmerk omvattend in die werkplek te meet. Dit is gevolg deur hipoteses van ’n moontlike verband tussen ’n persoonlike handelsmerk en loopbaansukses (prestasiebeoordelingtelling, 360-leierskapevaluasie en talentplasing) te toets. Die studie het bevind dat ’n persoonlike handelsmerk statisties beduidend en prakties relevant is tot talentplasing. Hierdie navorsing lewer ’n omvattende meetinstrument vir die meting van ’n persoonlike handelsmerk, asook empiriese bewyse rakende die verhouding tussen ’n persoonlike handelsmerk en loopbaansukses. Die studie maak in dié opsig ‘n beduidende bydrae tot die gebrekkige akademiese kennismateriaal wat oor hierdie onderwerp beskikbaar is. / Ulwazi nge-branding yomuntu siqu, ukuthuthukiswa kanye nokuqhubekela phambili kwe-brand yomuntu siqu kanye nokuxhumana phakathi kwe-brand yomuntu siqu kanye nokuphumelela emsebenzini bekuyizinto ebezingahlelekile ngendlela yesisayense. Inhloso yalolu cwaningo bekuwukuqondisisa ukuthi ngabe iyini imikhakha ye-branding yomuntu siqu kanye nokuthi yini okudingekayo ukwenza ibrand yomuntu siqu emkhakheni wezamabhizinisi. Bekubalulekile nokubheka ukuthi ngabe i-branding yomuntu siqu isemqoka kangakanani ekuphumeleleni emisebenzini. Inqubo yokubuyekeza imibhalo ngendlela ehlelekile iye yasetshenziswa ukuphawula, ukuhlaziya kanye nokuhlola izifundo ezinobufakazi ezenziwe kanye nemibhalo edumile maqondana ne-branding yomuntu siqu. Imikhakha yolwazi ekhona ibingachazekile kahle, kanti kuye kwalandelwa imodeli yezinyathalo eziyisithupha echaza imininingwane ngokwenza kanye nokugcina i-brand yomuntu siqu, iye yenziwa ngakho-ke kwase kuhlaziywa ingqikithi yemibhalo edumile ekhona. Kwenziwe i-brand yomuntu siqu ephelele emkhakheni wezemisebenzi. Kulolu cwaningo, kuhlolwe i-hypotheses yobudlelwane phakathi kwe-branding yomuntu siqu kanye nokuphumelela emsebenzini (amaphuzu ohlolo lokusebenza ngendlela efanele, uhlolo lobuholi obungu 360, kanye nokubekwa kwebhodi yamathalente endaweni efanele) kuye kwahlolwa. Kutholakale ukuthi ukubekwa kwebhodi yamathalente endaweni efanele yinto esemqoka ngokwamastatistiki kanti futhi kuhambisana ne-branding yomuntu siqu. Ucwaningo belungolokuqala ukuhlinzeka ngethuluzi lokukala kanye nocwaningo obunobufakazi obubambekayo ngobudlelwane phakathi kwe-branding yomuntu siqu kanye nokuphumelela emsebenzini, kanti-ke, lokhu yikho okuye kwaba nomthelela obabalukile kulwazi. Lolu cwaningo luvule imikhakha lapho okungenziwa khona ezinye izinhlobo nemikhakha yocwaningo. / Business Management / DBL
