Critical Acclaim
‘The approach of the chapters that comprise this volume is academically rigorous and at the same time managerially relevant, which is why I believe the book helps to push the made-in research agenda forward at the same time as it provides practitioners with new ideas they can apply to their brands.’
– Nicolas Papadopoulos, Carleton University, Canada
