About the Technical Editor
Lopo Rego joined the Kelley School of Business at Indiana
University in 2011 as an Associate Professor of Marketing.
Trained in Economics, he “converted to the dark side” dur-
ing his MBA and has since been interested in understanding
the association between marketing strategy and fi rm perfor-
mance. This proved to be a life-long quest, leading him to Ann
Arbor where he eventually earned his Ph.D. in Marketing at
the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. Not surprisingly, his research
interests focus primarily in understanding how marketing decisions, strategies,
and investments translate into fi rm performance, be it at the product-marketplace
level, fi nancial-accounting level or shareholder wealth level. Additionally, Lopo is
interested in marketing analytics, namely in developing and analyzing marketing
metrics that drive fi rm performance. His research has been published in such out-
lets as the Journal of Marketing, Marketing Science, European Journal of Marketing,
Journal of Empirical Generalisations in Marketing, Harvard Business Review, Journal
of Research in Marketing, and Marketing Science Institute Working Paper Series.

Acknowledgments
Of all my books, this one was probably the hardest to write. Thanks to my
wonderful wife Vivian who was so nice to me when I got frustrated during
the authoring process. Wiley acquisitions editor Robert Elliott was always encourag-
ing and his input was a great help in shaping the final product. Wiley project editor
Victoria Swider did a great job in pushing me to become a better writer.
Lastly, I must give a special note of thanks to my technical editor, Associate
Professor of Marketing at the Kelly School of Business, Lopo Rego. Lopo did an
amazing job of suggesting alternative wording and catching errors. He went above
and beyond his role as technical editor, and I am truly indebted to him for his
Herculean eff orts.
