Business to Business
Marketing is written from a marketing management perspective and uniquely integrates
key themes in this area. Not only focusing on the nature and characteristics of B2B
communications, this book provides an important, though often neglected, bridge between
marketing and information systems concepts, within the context of interorganisational
relationships.
This applied book is
orientated to the UK and European markets, although examples are drawn from other regions
of the world in order to reflect good practice and the wider global perspective.
Business to Business
Marketing is geared towards both postgraduate and final year undergraduate students.
This book is ideal for those studying Marketing, Marketing with eCommerce, Media and
Multimedia Marketing, E-Business, Business Studies, Business Information Systems and MBA
programmes in particular. It can also be used for related units in Engineering and Social
studies programmes. Students following the CIM's Professional Diploma - Marketing
Communications will also benefit from this book, as well as those taking stand-alone
professional B2B marketing seminars.
