The World in a Permanent State of Crisis: The Omnicrisis and Its Consequences for Brand Management

Daniel Neye () and Joachim Bongard ()

Chapter Chapter 1 in Brands in Times of Constant Change, 2026, pp 3-9 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Today, the world appears to be in a state of perpetual crisis, shaped by developments such as the climate crisis, financial crisis, migration crisis, and energy crisis. These have profound effects on brand management, as they undermine consumer trust in brands and necessitate the continuous adaptation of brands. Following an initial assessment of the various dimensions of these crises, the existing interdependencies among them are examined to highlight the comprehensive challenges currently facing brand management. Based on this analysis, initial responses are formulated to demonstrate how brands can continue to be managed strategically and successfully over the long term in an era defined by VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity).
