Biographie et Parcours de l'Auteur
David A. Aaker emerged from a Midwestern upbringing into one of the central architects of modern brand strategy. He studied management at MIT, where he also played on the tennis team, then completed an MA in statistics and a PhD in business administration at Stanford. He joined Berkeley Haas in 1968, earned tenure in less than four years, later held the J. Gary Shansby chair, and remains E.T. Grether Professor Emeritus. That path gave him an unusual mix of quantitative rigor and managerial practicality, which would define a career devoted to turning difficult marketing questions into usable frameworks.
