Relationship Marketing
by Martin Christopher, Adrian Payne, and David Ballantyne
Relationship Marketing: Creating Stakeholder Value extends the analysis of the change in the marketing rationale from a crude concern for increased market share to a strategy aimed at creating long-term profitable relationships with targeted customers.
Offering a cutting edge vision of relationship marketing, Relationship Marketing: Creating Stakeholder Value is a seminal text for all students and managers in the field. With new up-to-date case materials and examples of best practice, the book covers all the stakeholder markets - employees, suppliers, influencers, customers and consumers - for which the relationship approach is critical. It also provides crucial advice on how to develop, integrate and implement the various strands of a successful relationship strategy.
In today's volatile marketplace there is growing evidence that the way in which we service customers can make the difference between winning and losing the sale. The logistics process is an essential route to adding value to the product or service that companies provide. Marketing Logistics shows how logistics strategy can be used to gain significant competitive advantage and increased profitability. By using examples from leading-edge companies around the world Martin Christopher establishes logistics management at the core of a company's marketing strategy.
Marketing Logistics is relevant to all involved in the marketing and distribution industry. It is written from a practical standpoint with practising executives as well as students in mind. It is of particular relevance to students on the CIM Diploma course, MBA and BA courses as well as CIPS and Institute of Logistics students.
