Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The goal of marketing activity has now shifted towards a need to seek and forge long-term and profitable relationships with targeted customers. This new text reflects this growing trend and explains international marketing within this context. Providing a comprehensive review of the issues facing international marketing practitioners, the authors explain the subject from a traditional, relationship and networks perspective. The book contains numerous illustrations, case vignettes and real-world examples, making it the ideal text for today's marketing student and practitioner.

Book News Annotation:

This textbook examines international marketing issues from three perspectives. The traditional perspective assumes a competitive environment with uncontrollable environmental forces posing opportunities and threats for international marketers. The relationship perspective focuses on interaction between buyers and sellers, and between other actors in the international marketing context. The network perspective looks at the complex interplay of the web of relationships surrounding a business.
