Review

'A very comprehensive, authoritative text, its strengths reflecting its authors.' - Dr Geoffrey Randall, Consultant and author of Principles of Marketing (Thomson)

'A very comprehensive, authoritative text, its strengths reflecting its authors'. given the authors' reputations, it will undoubtedly sell well . . . Professors McDonald and Christopher are, of course, among the doyens of the British marketing academy. Both are enormously experienced and highly respected, and any text bearing their names will have its own authority and appeal. The content of the book is very comprehensive, dealing in detail with many topics that are covered less fully by others. It reflects the authors' (and Cranfield's) well-known strengths in areas such as business-to-business marketing, key account management, logistics and marketing planning. The length and comprehensiveness of the book make it most suitable as an academic text, probably for graduate and post-experience students. Many managers would also buy it on the names of the authors. The emphasis on value is entirely justified, and reflects current thinking.' - Dr Geoffrey Randall, Consultant and author of Principles of Marketing (Thomson)
