<i>‘Lindgreen and Di Benedetto provide a very useful guide to young academics on how to achieve success in the profession.

<i>‘The second edition of Lindgreen and Di Benedetto’s book focuses on the challenges mid-career marketing scholars face, especially those in business-to-business marketing. We all know that few resources are available for such specific guidance, and thus, having a comprehensive guide would benefit academia immensely. Although the book’s title includes “mid-career” marketing scholars, the topics discussed in the book, such as “Building Research Groups,” “Collaborating with Practitioners,” “Getting Research Cited,” and “Revising and Reviewing Manuscripts,” are extremely relevant to any marketing scholar irrespective of their career stage. I highly recommend this edition!’</i>

This excellent and comprehensive book provides guidelines, philosophies, and specific steps to enhance all stages of a faculty member’s career. The book is a must-read for faculty who focus on business-to-business marketing.’</i>
