It was kind of a difficult book to read this one. Not that it used too scientific terms, however, it was difficult to follow, as the themes didn't flow well one after another and it felt like a nasty mess. At least, it was understandable as a book.
Strategic Market Management attempts to provide a broad overview of the marketing decisions businesses must make during the business life cycle. A good focus of the book is spent on adding customer value. Unfortunately, the book meanders and has very poor editing. It is hard to follow in places while offering really good insights in others.
Best book on strategic marketing. It covers all the major topics in a concise and easy to read way. Buy a used textbook so you don't have to spend a fortune for the current edition.
I found this book challenging to read but it was the comprehensive one. A great guide to understanding business strategy in a competitive environment. I would strongly recommend it.
Full of descriptions, 'frameworks', and recipes for a way to do things, possibly completely absent of rigour, evidence, and insights to change the way you think.
Read this back-to-back with Doyle's Management and Strategy, and marketing hell will turn into heaven. Extremely American though. It should get 4.5 stars.
