Reviews
'The Routledge Companion to Contemporary Brand Management lives up to its name as a thoroughly up-to-date, comprehensive guide to some of the very latest and best thinking about brands and branding. Bringing together some of the finest minds in marketing, the Companion is enlightening, thought-provoking and enormously useful. It belongs on the bookshelf of anyone serious about the art and science of brand theory and practice.' - Kevin Lane Keller, E.B. Osborn Professor of Marketing, Dartmouth College, USA 'The Routledge Companion to Contemporary Brand Management is perfect for any aspiring student of brand management. It gives a comprehensive picture of the current state of academic thinking: the good, the bad, and the fanciful; the practical and the purely academic.' - Byron Sharp, Professor of Marketing Science, University of South Australia, Australia 'What impresses me most about this volume is the number of new and exciting areas for which it provides reviews, such as Employer branding; Branding in Education and the Arts and Sports and Politics and for Non-Profits; Strategic Brand Alliances; Brand Architecture; Branding in Emerging Markets, especially Africa; etc. If you ever needed proof that the concepts and practices of Branding have very wide applicability, but with important nuanced differences, you will find it here. Add to that the terrific reviews on more established but still very important topics - such as Brand Valuation, Brand Extensions, Luxury Branding, and the like. All from a mix of well-established leaders in these fields, plus many new faces. Truly a volume that every scholar and practitioner in any branding domain must study carefully.' - Rajeev Batra, Kresge Professor of Marketing, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, USA 'The Routledge Companion to Contemporary Brand Management is a truly valuable and comprehensive collection of perspectives on brand management by scholars from around the world. The range of topics covered is incredibly broad, interesting and relevant to both academics and practitioners. No other collection of readings spans from traditional topics such as brand equity and brand extensions to 'new' topics such as branding in base of the pyramid markets. Each contribution tackles the topic with depth and authority. I congratulate the Editors for compiling such an impressive compendium of contributors and topics.' - Bernd Schmitt, Robert D. Calkins Professor of International Business at Columbia Business School and faculty director of the Center on Global Brand Leadership, USA 'With many leading brands now valued at multi-billion dollars, and brand management on the C-Suite agenda globally, this Routledge Companion offers a timely and insightful reflection on cutting-edge branding issues to managers and academics alike.' - Professor Rajendra Srivastava, Dean of the Indian School of Business (ISB) and the Novartis Professor of Marketing strategy and Innovation, India 'I was delighted to see this collection of latest thinking in the field of branding. The book is an extremely useful tool for branding and marketing professionals across all industries.' - Joe DePinto, President and CEO of 7-Eleven, Inc., USA
