Disappointing 29 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
The author goes on a tangent about the environment and sustainable development. He asserts that the only way to build a brand is to make it different from big business (I agree) by stressing its social responsibility vis a vis the large corporation (is this really the only way?). This books stands on single strand and you cannot build a brand on this single strand.
On the plus side, it has a few good pointers on brand marketing.

A little book, it also had little useful information 11 Jan 2009
By Jon A. Whaley - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
C-.

I cannot recommend this book. If you are a student with little knowledge of some basic business concepts, and you get this for $1, then maybe but there are far better books to read.

I usually love anything with the "Virgin" brand attached to it, but this seemed a mish-mash, rushed, stew that should have been a book but is undercooked.

Don't bother.
