Revealing the Corporation: Perspectives on Identity, Image, Reputation and Corporate Branding
Editorial Reviews
Review
This is an engaging and enjoyable text. It demonstrates a new way of thinking about the corporation and a new way of analysing the tasks and responsibilities of senior management. It is a masterpiece of its kind, which I commend to the business community, to academics and all who really care about corporate development.
-Lord Marshall of Knightsbridge, Chairman, British Airways Plc.
I commend this book as essential reading for all companies seeking to develop a more effective strategic identity in the marketplace.
-Philip Kotler, S.C. Johnson & Son Distinguished Professor of International Marketing, Kellogg School of Management
The book speaks cogently to scholars, teachers, and executives. All readers will welcome the breadth of the analogy, the module essays that analyze the multi-dimensional charater of the field, and the future-oriented insights into what the authors call 'corporate-level marketing'.
-John A. Quelch, Senior Associate Dean, International Development, Harvard Business School
Revealing the Corporation is way overdue. For the top executive and the practitioner alike, it provides real insight for guiding the development of a powerful corporate identity. The Balmer and Greyser framework provides a senior management-oriented, multidisciplinary approach for giving substance to the corporation for multiple stakeholders, not simply portraying it through logotype.
-James C. Fink, CEO, Worldwide Marketing Research, Opinion Research Corporation
Balmer and Greyser provide an essential pathway through the often-muddled landscape of trust, loyalty, reputation, consistency, clarity, image, perception, and identity. They have not only brought together an excellent collection of articles, but also offer thoughtful insights about the content, context, and contributions of the articles through their authors' essays.
-Earl Powell, President, Design Management Institute
