Group 1: Entrepreneurial Branding - Entrepreneurs are increasingly adopting personal branding strategies, transforming themselves into "IP" (intellectual property) to enhance their companies' visibility and appeal [3][7]. - The phenomenon of entrepreneurs acting as brand ambassadors is not new, with historical examples dating back to the 1980s, such as Haier's Zhang Ruimin, who became a "celebrity entrepreneur" by publicly addressing product quality issues [8]. - Recent data indicates that Haier's overseas revenue grew by 13% year-on-year, highlighting the effectiveness of personal branding in driving business performance [8].
