- About this book
-
This book is about linking marketing activities and outcomes to the financial performance of the organization. The theme of the book is that the marketing function must justify its activities and use of resources in terms of its financial contributions to the firm. More specifically, the book focuses on how marketing activities generate cash flow, growth, and other financial benefits for the organization. This perspective provides a framework for long-term investments for purposes of evaluating and ranking the funding of proposed projects.

“Dave Stewart’s brilliant rendition of this book serves as a marketers’ guide for making the case for resources to financial decision makers. The powerful content of measuring brand value and customer value as well as managing risk, real options, and portfolio of products provides the necessary guidance for the financial decision makers. A resourceful book at a compelling time!” (V Kumar, Regents Professor, Richard and Susan Lenny Distinguished Chair, and Professor of Marketing, Georgia State University, USA )
