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.

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.

I found it hard to extract value from the way this book was written. I gave up a few chapters in and moved on.

Not impressed with the quality. This was a graduate level text book and had typos throughout.

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.

Good source for conceptual framework. However, rather light reasoning on why these concepts are necessary.

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.
