The paper presents a systematic review of the literature of the studies brought related to investment in brands and its impact on organisational performance between 2016 and 2020. The results show the studies refer to two-level relationships between brands and business results, that they use data from perception surveys and third-party databases, and that it has carried these studies out for developing countries.
