Rezensionen

My long-time friend, Roberto Alvarez del Blanco is the ideal person to write this book. He has been skilled at managing his own brand and thus is a good role model. More relevant, he is one of the leading brand strategists and theorists in Europe, indeed in the world. This book should be a worthwhile addition to any library and will give a boost to the personal and professional life for anyone that follows it's teaching. - David Aaker, Emeritus Professor , Haas School of Business, University of California, Berkeley
