In spite of the recognised importance of financial communications, as an area of investigation it has received relatively little attention in published sources. Addressing this gap, Wang provides a comprehensive and much needed understanding of the limits of and opportunities for financial communications and offers a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners who want to understand and engage with financial communications effectively." - Tina Harrison, Senior Lecturer of Marketing, University of Edinburgh Business School, Scotland, UK; Editor, Journal of Financial Services Marketing
