Introduces a 3-D mapping tool - the brand portfolio molecule - that lets managers visualize elements of a brand and how they interact to create new value. This book argues that a company's brand portfolio must reflect how the target customer actually views the brand.
This book was written in 2001. But the important tools used to managing brands to build new values are explained clearly with easy to understand examples. There might be more sophisticated tools now in 2013. But for a beginner like who is aspiring to be a MBA graduation and has just started a retail shopping firm, this is a very good start.
