"The book succeeds in a very clever way to present the basics of international marketing and at the same time introduces sustainability and digitalization as cross-sectional functions to these basics. The book thus addresses the challenges for international marketing in a very appropriate way and provides important insights"
Dr. Tim Alexander Herberger, Assoc. Professor at Andrássy University, Hungary

"In the next 5 years, most companies will come across a fundamental change through digitalization of business models and fully embracing sustainability in everything they do. Only full customer orientation will lead to success. The book gives very practical insights and recommendations how to holistically get prepared for these changes and developments."
