Review: I read this book in the Italian translation, and already it deserved 10. The original edition probably deserves more, if education gives the best ROI this book is a way to get the highest.

Review: Think Coca-Cola and what comes to mind? That's brand power. Author David A. Aaker illustrates how such powerful brands connect with customers. Unfortunately, Aaker doesn't show you how to build up your name or how to make the most of your ad dollars. But he does provide compelling, insider case studies, going back to the launch of Procter & Gamble's Ivory soap in 1881. Aaker sets three goals and just about achieves them: 1) Show managers how brand equity provides value, 2) Showcase examples of good and bad marketing and 3) Discuss how to manage brand equity. But, while Aaker explains brand equity by listing its components, the correlation between the parts and the whole is not clear - even with the ever-present flow chart. Regardless, being as well-known as IBM would make you tingle, and if you are looking for interesting historical perspective more than practical managerial advice, we [...] recommend this book, particularly to advertising and marketing executives.
