Adopted internationally by business schools, MBA programs, and marketing practitioners, The New Strategic Brand Management is the reference source of choice for senior strategists, positioning professionals and postgraduate students. Over the years it has established a reputation as one of the leading works on brand strategy. The fifth edition builds on this impressive reputation and keeps the book at the forefront of strategic brand thinking, with dedicated sections for specific types of brands (luxury, corporate and retail), international examples, and case studies from companies such as Audi, Nivea, Toyota and Absolut Vodka. Explaining the latest techniques used by companies worldwide, author Jean-Noel Kapferer covers all the leading issues faced by brand strategists today. With both gravitas and intelligent insight, the book reveals new thinking on topics such as putting culture and content into brands, the impact of private labels, the new dynamics of targeting and the comeback of local brands.

Luxury is in fashion and is now to be found in almost every retail, manufacturing and service sector. New terms like "mass-luxury," "new luxury" and "hyper luxury" attempt to qualify luxury. But if everything is luxury then surely the term itself has no meaning! There is confusion today about what really makes a luxury product, a luxury brand or a luxury company. The Luxury Strategy analyzes in depth the essence of luxury, highlights its managerial implications and rationalizes the highly original methods – often very far from the usual marketing strategies – used to transform small family businesses such as Ferrari, BMW, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Chanel, Armani or Ralph Lauren into worldwide successes. The Luxury Strategy clarifies the difference between "premium," "fashion," and "luxury," and sets out the counter-intuitive rules for successfully marketing luxury goods and services. Luxury experts Jean-Noel Kapferer and Vincent Bastien provide the first rigorous blueprint for effectively managing luxury brands and companies at the highest level, including human resources and financial management. Finally, The Luxury Strategy unveils how in any market, including B to B, a company can learn from luxury strategies to differentiate itself profitably.

Since then, textbooks and current thinking have been replete with the same simplistic models of branding, which are looking incresingly out of date.

Thousands of companies recognize brand names as their most valuable assets, yet branding is often treated as a tactical decision. In this insightful work, Jean-Noel Kapferer, a leading expert in brand management, presents a comprehensive model for strategic brand management. Through numerous examples and case studies, he explores the essence and culture of branding, offering a philosophy for all aspects of brand management. Central to his approach is the concept of a brand as a pyramid with three levels: the apex represents the "kernel" or core identity; the middle signifies style or personality; and the base encompasses underlying themes and advertising programs. Kapferer emphasizes that a brand is not merely a product but its essence and meaning. Strategic brand management requires a holistic understanding of this "gestalt," which must be managed across the entire company, not just in marketing. Successful brand managers seek new opportunities through global branding, navigating benefits, dangers, and pitfalls. Kapferer outlines the globalization phases, from name transitions to maintaining consistency, and discusses when global branding is most effective versus a multi-domestic marketing mix. He also addresses corporate barriers to global branding and necessary structural changes for maximizing its benefits. This work serves as a vital reference for branding in the U.S. as it evolves into the 1990s.
