Creating Value with Data Analytics in Marketing

"More than ever before, managers are held accountable for the return on their marketing investments. Data science has thus become a centerpiece in the skills arsenal of today’s manager. This comprehensive, yet eminently readable book is a must read for anyone seriously interested in using data science to create firm value."

Jan-Benedict Steenkamp, C. Knox Massey Distinguished Professor of Marketing, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

"Data science and big data analytics are in vogue these days but none of the current books on these subjects combine an understanding of them along with how they interface with marketing metrics. This is precisely what Peter Verhoef, Edwin Kooge, Natasha Walk and Jaap Wieringa have accomplished! The book is literally a treasure trove for marketing practitioners, academics and students, to not only understand the specifics of the data science techniques and methodologies but also to develop an appreciation of how they can all be put together to inform managers and drive decision making!"

P.K. Kannan, Associate Dean of Strategic Initiatives at University of Maryland, Robert H. Smith School of Business, USA
