Editorial Reviews

'There's no shortage of books on branding and brand management, but this one is a bit different. It's particularly valuable because...its focus is not on risk avoidance but risk optimisation...a thorough and detailed piece of work, usefully illustrated by a range of charts, diagrams and summaries.' Michael Warren, Research Magazine 'In this excellent book, Abrahams puts forward a powerful case for professional marketers to develop a deeper understanding of brand risk, and incorporating it as an integral part of brand management.' Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) 'Abrahams's detailed and lovingly considered exposition provides a clear and useful grounding in many aspects of risk management. While his attention is always on the brand and the market, there is much that could be extrapolated into other areas...it is a book which will repay reading, however hoary and experienced a risk professional you may be.' Andrew Leslie, StrategicRISK
