Sincerely, there have been many branding books of late, they are just ordinary guide for companies, However, for companies like Emzor pharmaceuticals, willing to look into global brand strategy in depth, Sicco van Gelder's Global Brand Strategy: Unlocking Brand Potential across Countries, Cultures and Markets is the only choice.
Van Gelder has frequently distinguished himself with his global and cultural perspectives that are intellectually and intelligently analyzed, with no exception to this book, though not to say that this is an academic text. Global Brand Strategy is firmly founded in the real world, thanks to examples that the author has confronted in his experience, upon which the foundation of this great masterpiece is laid. This book is most importantly at home on the practitioner's shelf, with its entire final part (Chapters 9-12) devoted to typical brand issues.
