Barnes, Faculty of Business Administration, Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada I particularly like the strategic treatment of the topics and the highlights for me are chapters 8 (Creating value: product) and the final chapter's strategic overview. The case studies and vignettes are truly international which is so important for teachers of financial services who reside outside Europe or North America. The turbulent financial times of 2008-2009 have been captured adroitly as have the recent advances in mobile telephony, social media communication, etc. - Ron Garland, Associate Professor, Department of Marketing, Waikato Management School, University of Waikato, New Zealand The authors have brought a new dimension to what was already an academic marker in this field.

Comprehensive coverage of well-structured topics combined with thought-provoking case studies and excellent examples, make Marketing Financial Services indispensable as a one-stop knowledge and action source on financial services marketing. - Ugur Yavas, Department of Management and Marketing, East Tennessee State University, USA Prof. Dawes Farquhar and Prof. Meidan have managed to give a European flavour to this book, especially through examples and end-of-chapter cases, which makes it suitable as core material in financial services marketing courses in different countries. They have included an interesting and original chapter that covers the issue of building the financial services brand, a challenging task for every services marketer. This adds to the originality of this textbook, which is a must-have for academics, students, practitioners and marketing managers. - Shpetim CERRI, Lecturer, Department of Marketing, Faculty of Economics, University A. Xhuvani, Elbasan, Albania, UK The second edition has been significantly improved, with the following new features: * Content has been thoroughly reviewed, revised and updated. * The structure has been modified with several new well-related chapters to the financial services market - reflecting changes in the sector and the availability of new technologies. * The text is more student friendly, and includes many case studies and vignettes plus many useful pedagogical features. - Dr. Essam B.
