Brand Management: Brand Strategy, Brand Implementation, And Brand Evaluation

This textbook provides a practical approach to brand leadership, tailored for master’s students in business schools, executive education participants, and brand management professionals. Built around the proprietary framework – The Brand Management Clock Face – the book is structured into twelve chapters that systematically address key management challenges across a brand’s lifecycle. The content combines well-established academic concepts with years of hands-on brand management experience. It bridges the strategic clarity of German brand identity models with the action-oriented mindset of American and French brand leadership.
This textbook has been recommended and developed for university courses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
