This approach provides students with an understanding of the dynamics of the subject and enables them to engage with the issues that lie within. The book integrates more traditional notions of the brand, such as equity and positioning, within this innovative framework. The framework also allows the separation of a brand's concept into functional and emotional parts, looking a purchases that fulfil a functional need and how these develop into emotional decision-making processes."--BOOK JACKET ER -
