Product Description

Review
"This book does something that others have failed to do. That is to lock together solid academic research with real world business issues. Kevin Wilson and Nick Speare offer us an insightful view of the issues facing any executive embarking on the journey of global account management." -- Fred Schindler, Program Executive, IBM Global Customer Management, NC, USA

Product Description
While the concept of global account management (GAM) is not new, there are numerous differences (both subtle and overt) between it and the conventional management of overseas accounts. So what are they? How should we define GAM? And how can companies ensure that their global accounts are managed successfully? These are just some of the many key issues addressed in "Successful Global Account Management". Drawing on the findings of a number of international research projects, as well as their own experience as practitioners and consultants, the authors unravel the complexities of GAM. They introduce a wide range of case examples that clearly illustrate how many of the world's leading companies have addressed the challenges inherent in GAM. They also provide models, processes and implementation guidelines that will give any manager unique insights into all the major themes and issues directly related to achieving GAM effectiveness, including: What is global account management (GAM)?; What is a global account manager?; How to set up and manage a global program; Selecting and forging a global team; Negotiating global agreements; Managing global supply chains; Managing information and leveraging knowledge; Reconciling global/local interests; and Putting the GAM strategy into practice. The book aims to provide any manager responsible for implementing a GAM program with a range of tools for success. It also shows CEOs and senior management the strategic importance of GAM in relation to their organization's overall business objectives.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, solid introduction to Global Account Management, 23 Oct 2002
It seems incredible that with so many books on selling, that this is the first (at least that I've discovered), covering the important topic of Global Account Management.

This is a good, solid and readable book on the subject. Written in an 'academic' style, but not heavy with it.

Each chapter builds on the previous into a collaborative picture between seller and customer - although the book is clearly written from the sellers perspective.

What the book lacks, is in-depth case studies and stories of successful global account management. Perhaps an area the authors can consider for a follow-up, to demonstrate that their business models are truly valid.

In summary, a good first book on the subject, and well worth reading if you work with Global Accounts. I have already recommended it to a number of my colleagues.

5.0 out of 5 stars B2B sales managers must read this!, 26 Jun 2005
By Andrew Jones (Greasby, Wirral United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
As a global key account manager, reading this and many of Kevin Wilson's published articles in this field lead me to use my experiences and this rare B2B common sense- easy to read literature to assist my Executive MBA research into this field with extemely positive results. These guys are way ahead of all other authors in this field - buy it.
