To achieve this goal, we carry out a review of the literature related to perceived value, information signals, brands and value delivery networks. Subsequently, we conduct an empirical analysis of the Basque lamb sector based on primary and secondary sources of information. The results illustrate the possibilities for the brand to increase value for customers and enhance the competitiveness of the sector. %K Brand management %K lamb sector %K value chain %K competitiveness %U http://www.ehu.es/cuadernosdegestion/revista/index.php/en/numeros?a=da&y=2012&v=12&n=2&o=4
