“This is probably the most comprehensive textbook on industrial marketing and supply chain management. It brings together a wide range of literatures and provides readers with a thorough overview of topics pertinent for manufacturing firms and other companies in industrial markets.”

“A welcome new and innovative book from four well-established and well-published scholars in the field. The complexities of the subject are nicely teased out throughout the book, with excellent use being made of numerous tables and graphs to add extra insight. What I particularly liked was the way in which the book sits at the interface of Industrial Marketing and Supply Chain Management, and also the way that it uses a range of case studies from around the globe to support the points being made. Definitely a book to add to the shelves of any scholars in the field!”

 “This new and up-to-date textbook provides a fresh view on industrial marketing. Bringing together established frameworks and latest research insights from two streams of literature, industrial marketing and supply chain management, it develops a unique perspective on the marketing, selling, and purchasing of industrial goods and services. With its chapter on data, information, and technology, and its insights on socially responsible marketing approaches, it offers a timely perspective on the art and science of industrial marketing. Highly recommended!”

Professor Andreas Eggert
Professor of Business and Service Marketing, Marketing Department, Freie Universität Berlin

“The business ecosystems in which companies operate are strongly shaped by industrial relationships. It is therefore fundamental to understand what industrial marketing—as the activity of creating and managing these industrial relationships—covers. This is the objective of this book, which succeeds perfectly in producing an integrated vision of industrial marketing and supply chain management in their essential role of value creation. Therefore, if some chapters seem usual in an industrial marketing book, others are less so (transportation of goods, warehousing, etc.) and all contribute greatly to producing this new vision of industrial marketing. For students, who sometimes find it difficult to figure out what are industrial relationships, this is the ideal book. It will show students the richness of these relationships and the nature of the multiple activities that industrial marketing is made of. For researchers interested in industrial marketing, they will find a very integrated vision of the various themes related to industrial relations, which will allow them to finely situate their research issues. Finally, practitioners will not fail to find in this book the precision of their daily activities in marketing and SCM and will fully benefit from the perspectives it offers.”

Catherine Pardo
Professor of Marketing, Marketing Department, Emlyon Business School

“This book is a welcome and timely addition to the business and academic community with heightened interest on industrial marketing issues and the increasing importance of supply chain management around the globe. It covers key issues in industrial marketing and addresses the main challenges in the area in a competent fashion and without making it difficult for the reader to follow. The examples, case studies, and vignettes that accompany the book are particularly useful in helping the reader develop a critical understanding of the challenges, realities, and developments in industrial marketing and supply chain management and learn how to appropriately apply related concepts. Highly recommended.”
