Apstrakt
Ideja o (regionalnom) brendiranju je važno pitanje u savremenom poslovnom okruženju. Teorijska istraživanja u ovoj oblasti su malobrojna, u poređenju sa brojem naučnih radova koji su posvećeni tradicionalnim brendovima i brendiranju. Praktična istraživanja o brendu kao važnom elementu strategije regionalnog razvoja može na taj način obezbediti niz korisnih informacija koje mogu da koriste trgovci u svojim marketinškim strategijama i u procesu brendiranja posebno. Cilj ovog članka je procena regionalnog brendiranja, na primeru Devin. Članak se sastoji iz dva glavna dela. Prvi deo se fokusira na definisanje regionalnog brendiranja i raspravlja zašto je ono važno. Drugi deo analizira brend Devin i pokazuje kako regionalni brend može da evoluira od koncepta do stvarnosti.
