Today, consumers have more information and connections in the palm of their hand — and they have more brand options to choose from in an increasingly crowded marketplace. In this new environment, company values have the potential to differentiate brands from their competitors and win consumers' hearts and business.

This report leverages Forrester's Technographics 360 multimethodology research approach to evaluate when, why, and how company values play a role in consumers' purchase decisions.
