"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."

Professor Christian Kowalkowski

"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."
