Critical Acclaim
''The role of emerging economies as target markets for firms has increased significantly, especially during the last ten years. Most of the books and studies published have focused on the macro-level analysis of entry barriers and/or investments in emerging economies, largely neglecting marketing strategies and other marketing-related issues. With 14 different chapters covering diverse topics ranging from the role of country image to marketing accountability, as well as both manufacturing and service sector analysis and international case studies, this book is clearly an interesting addition to the present stock of knowledge. It will provide an excellent primary text for courses focusing on entry and marketing strategies in emerging economies.''
