Branded Lives explores the increasingly popular concept of employee branding as a new form of employment relationship based on brand representation. In doing so it examines the ways in which the production and consumption of meaning at work are increasingly mediated by the brand. This insightful collection draws on qualitative empirical studies in a range of contexts to include services, retail and manufacturing organizations. The contributors explore the nuances of employee branding from various disciplinary standpoints such as: organization studies, marketing, human resource management and industrial relations. They take a critical perspective on work and organizations and document the lived experience of work and employment under branded conditions. In investigating the extent to which a variety of organizational strategies seek to mould workplace meanings and practices to further build and sustain brand value and the effectiveness of these in terms of employee responses, the authors question whether the attempt to 'brand' workers' lives actually enhances or diminishes the meaning and experience of work. Based on in-depth qualitative, ethnographic and case study research this compendium will prove essential for researchers working within the general area of employment studies and specifically on branded employment and work. Students in marketing, human resource management and management as well as HR and marketing practitioners interested in employee branding will also find this book relevant and stimulating.

Trust - a belief in the reliability of a third party, particularly when there is an element of personal risk - lies at the heart of the marketing concept. Any successful relationship, from friendship and marriage to partnerships and business transactions, is dependent to a greater or lesser extent upon the degree of trust between the parties. If marketing is about meeting customer needs, the establishment and management of relationships with customers, and the delivery of promises (either explicit, e.g. in terms of delivery dates or fitness for purpose of the product, or implicit, e.g. in branding and positioning) then trust is a major element in the relationship that exists between a company and its customers. And yet, surprisingly, to date there has been very little collected research into trust in a marketing context, and as such, this e-book aims document and explore trust in a marketing context. David C. Arnott, one of the guest editors, has also provided a bibliography and bibliometric analysis which gathers together a listing of useful materials from the rather disparate sources of research on trust.
