I am involved in general management and was looking for a book that addressed service quality and customer relationship management. Mr Palmer's book provides excellent coverage of these topics in a very readable, but comprehensive, manner. I am less qualified to comment on other 'marketing' aspects, but I believe that the style and layout which I found so useful would benefit those interested in those other aspects. This book offers particularly good references to other books and web sites. The book has a strong UK flavour, particularly in the case studies.
