Taussig

I think this quote describes an excellent opportunity of using a company's
brand as a tool to encapsulate a companies purpose and vision . It is
exactly what great woprld class brands have achieved. It can be come the
tangible expression of both the core purpose of the business both
internally and externally. It can also let different culture adapt their
brand's expression.

>the flesh on the bones, that is, to figure how what is the culturally
>appropriate application of those core values at the local level, where the
>"insiders" of the local culture can translate between corporate and local
>culture.
