Recenzje

"Tackling a topic such as digital transformation is not easy in an epoch when it is very much dealt with. The volume is appreciable for its ability to combine the theoretical relevance / centrality of the issues with a practical reading of the context in which digital transformation may take place. A further specific merit is then the organicity and harmonization of the contributions, which although they come from different Authors, are admirably merged thanks to the commendable and punctual work of the Editors. I am sure that the anthological collection entitled: "Digital transformation: corporate branding, identity and reputation" may become a point of reference for scholars, marketing practitioners and students. Well done!"

- Gerardino Metallo, Professor of Management – University of Salerno, Italy

"Digital transformation has become increasingly important in the real world of management, yet academic research and guidance for management practice in the area of branding, identity and reputation has remained fragmented until now. This book fills that gap. The comprehensive approach details the extent to which digital transformation affects the processes of branding, identity and reputation. Writing about digital transformation is notoriously difficult, as ‘hot’ topics can become dated very quickly but this book manages to make sense of the rapidly changing digital environments. The book has an accessible style that will encourage students to extend their studies in digital transformation. I wholeheartedly recommend this text as an invaluable resource for academics, doctoral, postgraduate, graduate, and final year undergraduate students studying business, management and marketing, as well as practitioners looking for insights into how to successfully navigate the minefield of digital transformation."

- Charles Dennis, Professor in Marketing, Middlesex Business School London
