Brands are not just important for identifying products, they also add greatly to the value of companies and they are fiercely protected by the companies they represent and can be the subject of conflict between companies who feel the brand is threatened, infringed or stolen. How do brands happen? How are brands defined? How is Brand Equity measured and accounted for? How has globalisation and the move towards no-name or generic brands affected the strength of existing brands? How are brands managed?

This set also includes of a variety of perspectives on brand management originating from European and Australasian, as well as American researchers.
