‘Melewar and Syed Alwi have assembled an excellent cast of experts to produce the most complete text on corporate brands and branding I have seen. All the traditional topics are covered in new and different ways. And, lesser known areas such as name and place branding are discussed by experts with new and innovative approaches. It's likely the only book you'll need for some time on the topic.’ - Don Edward Schultz, Professor Emeritus of Service at Northwestern University, USA
‘This book is an important contribution to the discussion of Corporate Brand Management, both from the perspective of theoretical research and also from management practice. Readers get valuable insights in the challenges and options of differing cultures along different geographical areas (USA, Europe, Asia, etc.) as well as arenas like different industries and institutional contexts. Especially valuable, it is also that a profound introduction to very different methods and approaches of professional brand research is offered – ranging from qualitative, quantitative, case studies, interpretivistic, social narrative, etc. No doubt, a book worth reading by students as well as academics and managers.’ - Klaus-Peter Wiedmann, Professor at Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany

‘This book provides a holistic approach to corporate branding that adds value to both theory and practice of corporate brand management from different standpoints. It offers a unique insight into spatial differences in corporate branding strategies among the US, Europe and Asia. It corroborates the corporate branding construct by providing a multi-methodological glance on its research field. This book explores the corporate branding practice in different emerging arenas of the corporate brand debate, such as business-to-business and professional services. Comprehensively, it’s a fascinating book that triggers curiosity in the readers no matter if scholars, managers, and students page after page, and it represents the outcome of an outstanding get together of brilliant minds.’ - Rossella C. Gambetti, Assistant Professor of Corporate and Marketing Communication, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, Italy
