    Top B2B global brands share five characteristics: (1) the CEO is a willing brand cheerleader,(2) the CEO understands that building brand reputation reduces commercial risk, (3) efforts

    are focused on a single, global corporate brand, (4) the payback on marketing expendituresis measured rigorously and (5) the coordination of company Web sites worldwide.
