Book excerpt: getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.This book is a little like a football play that looks great on the blackboard in the locker room but doesn't quite deliver once the players take the field. The concept is excellent: adapting marketing theory and techniques to the business of acquiring investment capital for your firm. Unfortunately, authors Philip Kotler, Hermawan Kartajaya and S. David Young spend a lot of time reviewing basics, such as potential sources of capital, and not enough on the marketing techniques themselves - which they don't begin discussing until about two-thirds of the way into the book. This shortcoming (and the lack of case histories) is balanced, however, by the authors' keen, market-oriented analysis of the characteristics that appeal most strongly to the various types of investors. This book outlines a smart, methodical approach to finding investors. getAbstract.com recommends this book despite wanting more information on methodology, believing that even an incomplete marketing approach to financing is better than chaos in the huddle.Book Publisher:Wiley
