Why you should read Emotional Value

Janelle Barlow and Dianna Maul go a step beyond most consultants (those who write business books to drum up customers). Instead, they offer a wealth of scholarly research and sources in their in-depth, colorfully written book, which successfully tackles the enormous role that emotions play in business and customer behavior. They explain and document it, and provide practical applications. getAbstract recommends this important book to all business people, whether they offer a product or a service, from CEOs through every level of staff.
