Professor Byron Sharp, Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, University of South Australia

‘A thought-provoking text that challenges readers to consider consumer behaviour in new and refreshing ways and reflect on routine behaviours that occupy so much of daily life – buying brands, patronising stores, watching adverts, making recommendations.’
Professor Mark Uncles, Deputy Dean, Australian School of Business, University of New South Wales
