A must read for any BtoB marketer. The book develops a compelling process for marketing project business by combining strategic tools with network approaches. In addition, it is rich in Indian examples. Milind Trivikram Phadtare has achieved a tour de force with this work . Bernard Cova, Professor at Kedge Business School, France and founder of the International Network on Project Marketing. Project marketing is an important global phenomenon often neglected in business research and teaching. For instance, there hasn't been a new international textbook on the topic for a long time. Prof. Milind Phadtare's new book thus fills this gap and provides an excellent practice-oriented review of the essentials of project marketing. Prof. Henrikki Tikkanen, D.Sc., Ph.D., Aalto University School of Business, Finland This book is a very easy read, despite it addressing a very complex subject which includes the use of a lot of technical terms and industry jargon. The language is simple and easy to follow, content is crisply arranged, the sequencing is perfect, and the case studies have been carefully selected to bring home the learnings to the reader. This book is for anyone wanting to grasp the fundamentals of Project Marketing, and the steps to submitting a responsive offer/bid to the Client, with the objective of winning the order. The book covers the different contracting models, tender conditions, packaging philosophies, client expectations, analysis of risks and mitigations in executing the order, building up the cost estimates, and the steps to bid competitively for the work. I am happy to recommend this book as essential reading on Project Marketing. Rahul Shah, COO - Urban Infrastructure Tata Projects Ltd. I must congratulate Milind for his indepth research which is evident in his book entitled, Project Marketing: A Practical Approach. The aspects covered, the live illustrative examples and the explanatory diagrams have been penned with sublime clarity, technical correctness and a seamless flow, making it a bible of sorts for academic development and professional application.
