Review
“The writing is clear and accessible for the targeted audience (not too complex and detailed yet provides appropriate substance), and the cases are timely and diverse.â€?
Â" I find that each (chapter) topic is more than adequately represented in the end of chapter materials. I have various items that I can use to teach this course and for this I am extremely grateful.Â" Â"Probably the biggest strength of this book is that it has no obvious Â'holesÂ'. I have been teaching business marketing for twenty years and I don find any major area that is not at least mentioned in this text.Â"
