"This book is the culmination of the ideas originally formulated by the Trout and Ries Team starting with "Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind." This book among other things, explains the success of Google from a branding perspective, and points out the unlimited opportunities for new brand creation based upon specialization. A truly brilliant book." -- Bart O'Brien (MSIA '81)
