Synopsis

This second edition extends the scope of the original book to cover new developments in strategic thinking. It serves to meet the need for an up-to-date understanding of the meaning and scope of marketing strategy and a framework to manage the critical issues of market choice and competitive positioning. In particular, it draws attention to how organisations are defining marketing as a strategic force rather than just an operational department.
