Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on a solid theoretical underpinning, this book provides a rigorous grounding in the subject of brand management. The theory is applied to examples throughout, to enable students to understand the practical application. Strategic Brand Management approaches the subject of brand management from a unique socio-cultural perspective, providing students with an understanding of the dynamics of the subject and enabling them to engage with the issues that lie within. While adopting this innovative framework, the book also integrates more traditional notions of the brand in terms of equity and positioning within that framework. The framework for the book separates a brand's concept into functional and emotional parts, looking at purchases that fulfil a functional need and how these develop into emotional decision-making processes. The language of the book is kept simple without compromising the effectiveness of the argument for diluting the analyses. The book has been written to meet the requirements to the syllabus of B.Com, BBA, M. Com and MBA courses of various Universities.
