About this title

Review:

This is one of the best written and most lively books on Strategic Marketing. Logical, concise, and to the point; it stretches students to think - which is refreshing. (Mike Flynn, University of Gloucestershire Business School)

The authors integrate classic literature alongside the more contemporary and cutting-edge debates in marketing strategy, illustrated with a great range of examples and case-studies. A well researched text that is written in such a way to be accessible to both undergraduate and taught postgraduate students. (Jonathan Elms, University of Stirling)
