Simon Majaro – författare

Re-issuing this successful book in its seventh edition the author starts with an overview of basic marketing concepts and their applicability on an international basis. It then covers each ingredient of the marketing mix and explores them in relation to multinational markets. Each ingredient is studied in the light of the fundamental question: ‘How far can it be standardised internationally or in a research-based cluster of countries?’ Research, planning and organisation problems receive particular attention. A whole chapter is devoted to ‘Creativity and Innovation’ on a global scale.

This book provides a stimulating perspective on a wide range of important topics and major challenges which confronted marketing management in the 1980s and are still of relevance today. The author applies a critical knowledge of modern theory and practice to pinpoint the crucial importance of three interrelated ingredients – productivity, integration and creativity, for success in an increasingly demanding and cost-effective environment. Each chapter reviews marketing concepts, theories and methods – both recent and well-established and each chapter can be read on its own in response to a specific problem. As well as an extensive bibliography, the volume contains useful case-studies.
