'Dr Haimowitz has done a wonderful contribution to the field of health care marketing and research. In this book he brings his wealth of industry experience and knowledge into academic focus with practical and realistic examples. It is a must have for educators and students of health care marketing and marketing research or anyone who would consider relationship based marketing as the cornerstone for successful corporate strategy in healthcare.' Dr Thani Jambulingam, Professor of Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Marketing, Erivan K. Haub School of Business, Saint Joseph’s University, USA 'Dr Haimowitz has written a practical and indispensable handbook and reference for Relationship Marketing practitioners, managers, and newcomers...an excellent, plainspoken overview of Relationship Marketing concepts, strategies, tools, and techniques while also offering specific case studies that are directly applicable in today's Healthcare environment. In particular the book includes interviews with industry experts (all with over 15 years experience). These interviews offer invaluable, first hand insight into the challenges and opportunities unique to modern Healthcare Relationship Marketing. ...In summary, this book is highly recommended as an important addition to the library of any RM professional regardless of role (e.g. Strategy, Media, Operations, or Analytics). While the case studies and tactics are focused on the Healthcare industry the RM concepts, principles, tools and techniques are broadly applicable across multiple industries.'
