Media Reviews
The pan-company model acts as a framework, but the real answers, as this excellent book demonstrates, are infinitely more complex. Marketing - creating and keeping customers - is a multi-dimensional task. from the foreword by Steve Cuthbert, Director General, The Chartered Institute of Marketing As always, Malcolm McDonald's writing is clear and timely. He may be a Professor and a Doctor of Philosophy, but he is also a manager writing for managers. This book is unique and covers ground that desperately needs attention. All managers should read this valuable guide.' Professor John Saunders, Head, Aston Business School 'Key Account Management is rapidly becoming more important as purchasing power is increasingly concentrated in the hands of fewer, larger buyers. This timely book based on original research provides excellent strategic and tactical guidance and tools for marketing/sales directors as well as key account executives to enable them to manage their major customers more effectively.' Mike Wilson, Director, Marketing Improvements Group, Plc
