"A solid text that greatly benefits from the international experience of the author team." -Bodo B. Schlegelmilch, WU Executive Academy, Austria "A nice, new update for the competitive global marketing textbook marketplace, Global Marketing provides a grounded, international perspective on globalization, emerging markets, and strategy. Especially welcome is its strong focus on social media and technology, culture, and critical viewpoints." -Jonathan Schroeder, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA "Global Marketing provides up-to-date examples and end-of-chapter cases among the latest marketing theories and frameworks. Useful tools include PowerPoint slides, Test-banks, videos and much more valuable content for students and faculty. The textbook is suitable for undergraduate, graduate and executive students, alike." -Marc Fetscherin, Rollins College, USA "At last, we have a comprehensive global marketing textbook geared toward a contemporary and dynamic marketplace. Rarely does one come across a book in this area that is inclusive to the entire world. Alon, Jaffe, Prange, and Vianelli's book is timely, well thought-out, and balanced. The book is a must for academics, students, and global marketing/business executives." -Charles Blankson, University of North Texas, USA "This new edition of Global Marketing continues the thorough coverage of the first and includes the most up-to-date information on marketing in the current environment. Cases are varied and interesting and the inclusion of faculty-friendly exercises is especially valuable in the classroom. I highly recommend this book for upper-level undergraduate and MBA global marketing courses." -Betty Jane Punnett, University of the West Indies, Barbados
