Description

  • Integrates cases and examples of companies operating in varied markets to provide a culturally diverse text that considers B2B marketing in the global context.
  • Relates B2B marketing to business-to-consumer marketing to give an easy entry to the subject.
  • Includes 'voices' boxes to provide insight into real-world B2B marketing challenges.
  • Addresses 'hot' B2B-related topics such as fair trade, retailer power, overseas sourcing, and 'green' marketing to capture students' imagination.
  • Shows how to optimise the benefit from business networks whilst managing potential risks from these relationships.
This exciting new title provides a comprehensive introduction to the main theoretical and managerial issues of B2B marketing. It raises readers' awareness of the significance of B2B marketing in modern economies, in both local and global contexts.

The book shows that B2B marketing is about managing the complex network of buying and selling relationships between organizations. The text includes detailed discussions concerning the role of individual managers and the organizations they represent; outlines possible managerial solutions to common B2B marketing dilemmas; and examines issues such as e-commerce in B2B markets, key account management and supply-chain ethics. Theoretical discussion is carefully interwoven with a series of long and short case examples.

The text is organized in four parts. Part one - the organizational marketing context; part two - inter-organizational relationships and networks; part three - business marketing planning; and part four - business marketing programmes.

A range of pedagogical features aid understanding: 'mini cases' from a variety of international contexts; 'voices' of practitioner talking about the problems they face; 'number crunching' boxes highlight how an organizations sales, profits, numbers of workers depend on successful B2B marketing; 'food for thought' boxes encourage students to think about the recommendations in the text; and longer case studies illustrate specific marketing issues.
