'Making Marketing Happen' is prompted by needs of practising managers who have found the traditional marketing planning texts to be "fine in theory, but hard to apply to my special market". In short, it holds that marketing planning fails for most companies because it either does not fit their organizational culture, their market conditions or both. Successful companies do not plan. They use a hybrid strategy making process including vision, incrementalism and planning. The ratio of these three things is critical and the right ratio is unique to every company. The author develops this argument and explains how companies can construct the right hybrid strategy making process for their situation. The book has been designed for those practising managers who need more than the planning text book. It will tell you: * Why attempts at planning are foiled by the market, the company culture or both. * How effective strategists don't plan, but use organizationally tailored strategy making processes * How to design the right process for your company and your market * How to know if the strategy you make is strong before you implement it. "An incredibly practical and hands-on book concerned with the realities of doing strategic marketing planning to enhance customer and shareholder value. It is packed with new ideas and practical tools and should be on every marketing manager's desk." Professor Nigel F Piercy, Professor of Marketing, Warwick Business School "This book starts where most others finish - making the theory work in the real world. Having done an MBA and held several Senior Marketing positions, I recommend it both to practising marketers who already have a thorough understanding of marketing theory and also to MBA students who are eager to apply their knowledge within their own organisation's framework." Mathias Aeberhardt, Director Business Intelligence Europe, Zimmer GmbH "As a strategic marketing professionals working in the fast-moving and complex world of UK retail banking and personal financial services, inevitable time pressures demand that we must be highly selective in the material we choose to read. Within this context, I would recommend 'Make Marketing Happen' as an invaluable investment of scarce managerial time. The text is full of practical guidance and exciting insights into the world of strategic market planning and is presented in an informative and highly accessible format - well worth the read." Dr Jansen Ryder, Product Manager, Halifax Bank of Scotland "Making Marketing Happen is one of those rare marketing books that brings the right information to the table at precisely the right time. As a senior marketer in the highly competitive automotive industry, I have struggled with what the appropriate measures of marketing value are now, and what they should be in the future in order to maintain a competitive edge.

The internet, web and related information technologies have proven to be transformational. While these technologies have impacted all parts of the corporation, the marketing function has perhaps been most affected. E-marketing is now a significant part of every global corporation's marketing arsenal. As international acceptance of the internet and web increases, the scope of international e-marketing now transitions from possibility to reality. International marketing scholars have followed the transformational impact of the internet/web closely. Several studies in the international e-marketing context have already emerged at the individual consumer (Callow and Lerman, 2003; Dou et al., 2003; Kucuk, 2002; Sing et al., 2004; Waller et al., 2005; papers by Sugai and Gong and McMillan, in this issue) and firm levels (Javalgi et al., 2004; Singh and Kundu, 2002; and papers by Kaynak et al. and Javalgi et al. in this issue). Recognizing the contribution of the work thus far, in this paper, we introduce the in international e-marketing. The IEMF should help the global marketing community shape scholarly inquiry in the domain of international e-marketing, classify current intellectual contributions in this area and delineate the gaps in the literature to focus future research. Moreover, the IEMF should help global e-marketing scholars address the question How is International E-Marketing different from International Marketing? The IEMF is an extension of the framework first introduced in Krishnamurthy (2006) to the international context. An overview of IEMF The IEMF has seven components actors (i.e. those who take e-marketing actions), spaces (i.e. online theaters of engagement), technology form factors (i.e. the idiosyncrasies of information technologies that affect the user experience), country-level cultural factors (i.e. the Hofstedian framework), access to information technologies (or the digital divide), actions and outcomes (behavioral outcomes at firm-level). We now briefly introduce the seven components. Actors Establishing an online presence makes one an international e-marketing actor axiomatically. Since web sites can be accessed across country lines, e-marketing actors exert influence in the country of their origin and across borders. Moreover, companies now routinely create country-level sites to deepen their presence within a country (e.g. Amazon.com has stores in the UK, Canada, France, Japan and Germany). This could create arbitrage opportunities that have not been fully studied, e.g. Amazon.co.uk frequently sells books at a lower delivered price than Amazon.com. Yet, it is not clear if consumers are taking advantage of this. Spaces The conceptualization of spaces is fairly new in the business/management/marketing literature. Rayport and Sviokla (1994) first used the term marketspace and distinguished it from a marketplace. An online space is a theater of engagement between the company and the consumer (Krishnamurthy, 2006). Imp

In his 1985 book Competitive Advantage, Michael Porter described the value chain as those activities that an organization engages in as it concerns the production, marketing, delivering, and support of its products and/or services. What is important to remember is that each component of a company's value chain is not mutually exclusive.Previously published in: Journal of Consumer Marketing, Volume 21, Number 7, 2004
