As our method for the collection of empirical data we used semi-structured interviews, which were conducted with 2-3 representatives of each of the selected case companies. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings indicate that an internal branding process consists of four sequential steps: initial work, creation of vision and core values, adaptation, and follow-up and evaluation. Moreover, we have found that certain pre-requisites need to be fulfilled before the undertaking of the process, among these that the goals of the process are clearly defined and that the process is fully supported by the company management. Further, our model the circle of adaptation demonstrates concrete measures that companies can take in order to make their employees live the corporate brand. (Less)
