The lack of a widely agreed framework to help define and align corporate brand identity constitutes a serious managerial problem and a shortcoming of the academic literature. In response, this article provides such a framework, the Corporate Brand Identity Matrix (CBIM), which draws upon the relevant literature, enriched by hands-on corporate experience gained by its application in three international corporate branding case studies. Corporate brand identity is explored internally, externally and by focusing on the 'brand core'. The CBIM offers academics and managers a theoretical and practical guide to the describing, defining and aligning of corporate brand identity. It is a tailored alternative to existing frameworks, which have often been designed for product brands, not corporate brands.

The American Marketing Association (AMA) defines a brand as a "name, term, sign, symbol or design, or a combination of them intended to identify the goods and services of one seller or group of sellers and to differentiate them from those of other sellers.David also says that brand is a symbolwhich haslinked with a large number of assets and mental liabilities(Dehdashti Shahrokhet al.,2012).

La mente di Dante. Visioni, percezioni, rappresentazioni, 2024
Nel XXII canto del Paradiso, vv. 133-154, Dante, dal cielo delle stelle fisse, guarda sotto di sé e vede i cieli che ruotano attorno alla Terra; poi, nel XXVIII canto, vv. 16-39, trovandosi nel Primo Mobile, guardando verso l’altro ha la visione dei nove cori angelici che ruotano attorno a un punto luminosissimo che rappresenta evidentemente Dio. Poiché questa seconda visione non può essere, per ragioni cogenti qui messe a fuoco, una visione estemporanea proiettata solo nella mente di Dante, come pure i commenti in uso continuano a spiegare, ma fa parte a pieno titolo della realtà dell’universo sensibile-sovrasensibile che Dante descrive, dobbiamo rassegnarci a “vedere” tale universo, nella sua totalità, come una geometrica dualistica, con il mondo sensibile geocentrico e il mondo sovrasensibile (l’Empireo) teocentrico? Il saggio discute la teoria, sostenuta da diversi matematici e fisici dal 1925 a oggi, che l’universo di Dante sia una “3-sfera”, cioè una sfera a quattro dimensioni, una sfera la cui superficie è una sfera: teoria che supererebbe il dualismo geometrico suddetto, senonché a Dante mancavano totalmente i presupposti matematici per poterla concepire.
