The case studies are in need of update as many of them have moved on since publication and this gives a great opportunity for the authors to explain how their theories worked (or didn't). I would also have liked to see a summary of the rules of marketing warfare in an easy referenced table, rather than have to wade back through the text.
Overall, I recommend you read it!
The book perhaps deals a little too much with companies and brands that have been arround for many years. I think an analysis of emerging industries would proeve to be more valuble in the fast changing consumer markets. It is easier to review the past and submitt an analysis, do not get me wrong the value of this is emense, but I would like to these good marketing minds put their intellectual capacity to markets that are on the cutting edge both interms of technology but aslo interms of comsumer dynamics.
All in all a must read for Senior Marekting Managers and Director types who continue to not pay attention to the basics as outlined in the book. I work for South Afrca's biggest brewing company and I can vividly relate to some of the follies outlined in the book.
Great Book
