About the Author

Jim Blythe is Visiting Professor of Marketing at University of Plymouth, UK.

Jim has written 18 books, over 50 journal articles, and has contributed chapters to 8 other books. He has taught overseas, written open-learning packs for international training organisations and has been a Senior Examiner for the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
