Examining the various alternatives at your disposal regarding the deployment of excess capital, David Giroux, Chief Investment Officer for Equities and Multi-Asset at T. Rowe Price, covers the entire gamut of capital allocation issues, including optimizing capital structure, capital allocation alternatives, M&A, and special situations.Giroux uses academic research, personal experience, and uncomplicated mathematics to illuminate the principles, strategies, and processes that can create long-term shareholder wealth. He provides case studies from Kodak, Comcast, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Danaher, GE, and others showing how capital allocation has-and hasn't-worked in real-life situations. And he shows how to use capital allocation to head off possible activist investors.Some textbooks touch on the concept of capital allocation, but none examines the subject as practically or thoroughly as this book. Capital Allocation offers everything you need to know for deploying capital wisely to outperform your competitors over the long term.

The new, game-changing way to build a "cognitive brand" that connects with your customers in the deepest, most meaningful waysSuccessful marketing is all about unlocking the door to peoples' thoughts, feelings, memories, and fantasies. Tap into one or more of these, and your brand will stick forever. In Branding Between the Ears, world-renowned, marketing thought leader, Sandeep Dayal, shows you how to leverage behavioral psychology, social anthropology, and neuroscience to decode what goes on in consumer minds, and create effective marketing strategies to build the kind of loyalty that fuels today's brand giants. Dayal reveals that most successful cognitive brands are architected around three questions consumers ask themselves:. Does this brand give me good vibes? . Does what this brand says make sense to me? . Will I be happier if I buy this brand? These three factors, good brand vibes, brand sense and brand resolve are the hidden mantra for designing empathetic brands that push customers off the fence of indecision and indifference to fully engage with and inevitably buy them. Branding Between the Ears reveals paradigm shifts in building and executing brands that are informed by a burgeoning body of research in brain sciences, and offers a better way to make brands that not just stand out, but connect with consumers and embed in their thoughts inexorably to drive choice.Dayal is the marketing thought leader who predicted that "consumer collaboration" would be the key factor in winning people's trust online and giving consumers control over their personal information would be central to gaining their trust-issues that are unfolding today. Now, with Branding Between the Ears he provides equally prescient principles and new ideas for gaining the competitive edge in a largely uncertain future and winning with cognitive power brands.
