'This book is an important contribution for teaching marketing to undergraduate and graduate students in emerging market context. The underlying pedagogical frameworks and cases are carefully crafted to draw on the tremendous expertise of educators and practitioners who are experts in their individual country conditions and issues. Students will be able to develop marketing strategies that are appropriate for the unique marketing conditions in most African emerging markets. Practitioners can also apply the framework to policy formulation and implementation to social marketing issues that face many emerging market economies, especially African economies. '
