'"Global Marketing Management, 4e" offers a fundamental paradigm shift in teaching global marketing. Rather than being bound by the traditional bilateral view of competition and marketing, Kotabe and Helsen emphasize the multilateral nature of marketing. This book prepares the reader to become an effective manager, overseeing global marketing activities in an increasingly competitive environment. The approach presents marketing with an interdisciplinary, cross-functional perspective, where the marketer has a sound understanding of how the various functional areas interface with marketing. As with the previous editions, the authors do a great job integrating recent business developments, managerial relevance, and novel academic insights. I feel the book is a must have for everyone teaching or researching international and global marketing issues' - Marnik Dekimpe, Research Professor of Marketing, Tilburg University & Professor of Marketing, Catholic University Leuven. 'This text has developed a rigorous conceptual orientation and has included contemporary issues confronting the international marketing manager.
