By offering this interdisciplinary perspective, readers gain an understanding of how the various functional areas interface with marketing. They also learn how to market product into all countries and markets, including the US, and appreciate the multisourcing aspects of the business environment This "Update" edition is published in reaction to the 1998 Asian financial crisis, and in anticipation of the common European currency, the euro, introduced on January 1st 1999.
