In addition to conceptually integrating branding into the strategic planning process, Brand Planning for the Pharmaceutical Industry provides a step-by-step approach to applying that process to the work of brand managers and market researchers. It is that direct application which will enable brand teams to learn, develop, and ultimately, achieve the brand position.'
