As globalization takes hold several things happen; customers are more demanding and sophisticated, competition gets tougher, business is more complex and fast changing, and highly competent global account managers are in short supply. The managerial challenges of competing in a global world are more difficult in orders of magnitude than competing domestically. Life is especially tough when the corporation is not centrally focused on the global customer when corporate personnel across functions and around the world do not get it. To get it means understanding at a visceral level that success or failure with global customers maybe synonymous with success or failure of the entire enterprise. Unless all employees are focused in the firms relationship with its global customers, competitors that do get it will surpass them. Indeed, competitive advantage based on building global supplier customer relationships may be longer-lasting than competitive advantage based on products or services. Companies cancel products but they less easily cancel people, especially those that have served them well. But the promise of long-run sustainable competitive advantage can be secured only if the firm truly focuses in serving the global customer. No matter where they are located, all firm employees must understand they are competing in a global world and that success with global customers is the Holy Grail. They must throw off the shackles of ethno-centrism and nationalism acquired in their youths, and embrace the global challenge. Not only should they defend their turf against global competitors but they must do what they can to make their global customers succeed. In pursuing this goal, they may develop a global account management system that in itself becomes a competitive advantage.

This book is about understanding how to develop market strategy and managing the market- ing process. It is not a book that attempts to describe all there is to know about marketing, but focuses on what the prospective manager needs to know. This book differs from other senior undergraduate and introductory graduate-level marketing texts. We take a position on what we believe is a better or worse course of action for marketers. Marketing is an applied field, and we believe that textbook writers should provide guidance for good marketing practice. Also, we focus on the manager, not just the marketer. For readers committed to a career in marketing (and we hope there are many), this book will form a solid foundation as you study marketing further and deeper. But the vast majority of you will not work in marketing departments, and will instead become senior executives, general managers, CFOs, and CEOs. We write for you also because an understanding and appreciation of marketing is central to virtually every important decision that managers make. Because this will be the only marketing course many of you will take, in a sense, this book provides what every general manager and senior executive must know about marketing. Marketing activity lies at the core of leading and managing a business. It provides the focus for interfacing with customers. Marketing is also the source of insight about the market, customers, competitors, and complementers, and the business environment in general. Marketing is concerned with the firm s long-run relationships with customers as well as its short-run sales activity. Marketing must be a major organizational thrust, not just a responsibility assigned to a single functional department. For this reason, the book emphasizes the role of marketing in creating value for customers this leads to the creation of value for other firm stakeholders, including shareholders and employees.

On Monday morning August 6, 1945, when the Enola Gay released the first atomic bomb above Hiroshima, Atsuhiro Ozaki was working at the local radio station less than 1,000 yards from the detonation point. The Song of Hiroshima is Mr. Ozaki's first-person account of what he did and what he saw on August 6 and the next few days, and his reflections four years later. Written in English, Mr. Ozaki wanted to share his experiences with the American people, yet his notebook lay undiscovered in a Port Washington, New York, attic for more than a half century. The publication of this book fulfills Atsuhiro Ozaki's wish.

Strategic Account Strategy is designed to help corporations and businesses develop key/strategic and global account programs, and for individual key/strategic and global account managers to develop strategy and action programs for individual accounts. The volume comprises a set of frameworks in two books: Book 1 -The Strategic Account Program and Book 2 - Planning for Strategic Accounts.

Strategic Account Strategy

Marketing & Sales

The perfect supplementary text for any global account management course!
In recent years, many corporations large and small, based in many countries around the world, have developed key, strategic, and global account management programs. Correspondingly, business schools, consulting organizations, and the Strategic Account Management Association (SAMA) offer courses for practicing managers. Additionally, business schools provide courses for graduate and undergraduate students, often supplementing courses on sales management and personal selling. To some extent, these courses suffer from a lack of cases studies of real-life account management situations. This volume is an attempt to redress that situation. Some cases are traditional long-form cases; others are merely a single paragraph. Regardless, each case focuses on a particular account management issue. Some cases require extensive preparation; other cases can be assigned just a few minutes before class discussion. This book is available in printed from an as an e-book. We use print-on-demand technology. Hence, we anticipate updating the book from time-to-time with additional cases as they become available.
