Abstract:

In 2008, China will host the Olympic Games for the first time in its history. This momentous event is well timed with China's need to improve its image across the globe. This paper first introduces the concept of nation branding. It then analyses China's opportunity to use the Olympics as a marketing tool to increase its global brand equity. Finally, recommendations are provided in order for China to maximise the potential from the 2008 Olympic Games.Place Branding and Public Diplomacy (2007) 3, 164-178. doi:10.1057/palgrave.pb.6000059
