‘Brands are a magic and fascinating world. But so many studies, surveys and researches have been conducted on brands that travelling through the Brand world is a difficult journey. To find a path in the jungle of concepts, the variety of theories and the large array of metrics, guidance is needed. With a theoretical background and methodological properties as well as relevant scales this handbook provides that help. In the name of all the future students and young searchers, facing for the first time the complexity of brands and brand management, we have to thank Lia Zarantonello and Véronique Pauwels-Delassus for their useful handbook.’ - Professor Marie-Hélène Fosse-Gomez, University of Lille, Executive Director in charge of Research, French Marketing Association, France‘This handbook contains robust, testable, reliable and valid branding scales developed by well recognised academics.
