Prof. Bradley Barnes

KentBusiness School, University of Kent

"This book is an invaluable source of knowledge for those who are working on their qualifications in the field of international marketing. It contains a variety of new, up-to-date examples and cases concerning not only European-based but also other international companies; these and other materials let one discuss and analyse thoroughly the concepts one is studying."

Dr Izabela Kowalik

Instituteof International Management and Marketing, Warsaw School of Economics

"Managers and students need more than conventional International Business and International Marketing concepts now. This convention remains the purview of most international business and marketing texts. I've chosen the Hollensen text and two past editions because it offers contemporary thinking in firm/manager strategy development, making and validating the right strategic decisions, accepting tradeoffs and building firm competitiveness in a rapidly changing global environment."

Customer Reviews

Global Marketing: A Decision Oriented Approach
This is an excellent book. Having read management and marketing literature for 30 years I was surprised to find a new book, written in a fresh and easily-digested manner, which contained so many new ideas.

Finally a real Global/international marketinga book
Finally I found a real global marketing book. This book has a much better global focus than most American books that are so clearly American. The Danish author Hollensen, manages to give this popular subject a fresh feel unlike so many of the books issued lately.
Kudos to you Mr.Hollensen.
