“這就像史蒂芬‧霍金碰上珍‧古德般── 透過科學與人文，再由物理看到人類學，開創了美麗又迷人的品牌化旅程。” 近代商業史上，最賺錢的無形資產‧其幕後操作原理，首次完整揭露！ ◤３個系統模型╳４項品牌要素╳５種感官資料╳８大指標流程＝自然科學＋社會科學的完美平衡 ♦品牌為何能成功流傳：完整剖析人類大腦內部運作邏輯 ♦用科技作主軸的品牌：社交網絡是如何對認知造成影響 ♦以品牌進行數據分析：探究人類心智、行為，乃至靈魂 ♦藉由人與人間的互動：替新創品牌找到進入市場的機會 ♦透過人性化真實體驗：為既有品牌尋求管理與生存之道 ◎用科學拆解「品牌」的核心價值 本書彙整出３個與品牌相關的理論模型，其中關鍵的「雅各階梯」是作為「以物理學解釋品牌效應」的主框架。於品牌設計、行銷和廣告、以及市場品牌評估產業耕耘多年的三位作者，透過「雅各階梯」定義「品牌的產生」所需經過的歷程： ①各種形式的「信號」→②為人類「感官」所接受→③在適當的「時刻」發生作用→④在大眾的腦海中產生固著的「記憶」→⑤進而與瀰漫在空間中的「能量」相互作用→⑥這些交互作用中，若干被提取進行「銷售」→⑦因此創造出「利潤」→⑧在最後一個階段，品牌的「價值」於焉形成。 本書依循上述八大指標流程分章論述。使看似複雜的「品牌學」可簡潔優雅地被理解；並經得起「定性定量」的科學性探討，本書的初始設定為： 先假設空間、時間、能量、物體（大眾）為定項； 而為了產生「品牌」，從一開始「信號」就必須服膺「熱力學定律」進行傳送與擴散。 以物理學的角度，來看「品牌」和「大眾」如何在「時間」、「空間」場域中相互碰撞，並產生依存關係；而在日常生活中，則可藉由持續觀察現實中發生的事件，反推出「品牌」的定律：例如街上到處跑的可口可樂貨櫃車，如何於每個人腦中產生作用，勾起想喝上一口特定品牌冰涼飲品的欲望？正如同科學家用哈伯望遠鏡觀測數千光年外，星系所發出的可見／不可見光譜般；在地球上的我們並無法真正「看到」，卻可以透過理論計算，繪製出壯麗的星雲圖景！ 如此一來，既然品牌運作的方式可以依理論建構、測量，也就代表可以據此管理；至此，品牌學才能真正邁入可測量、可驗證、可重複的科學領域！ ▍要貼近現實...
