Summary

Announcing an update of one of the best marketing books of all time. Differentiation has become a very big word in business thanks in great part to Differentiate or Die. It has been called one of the best marketing books of all time.* Because of its importance, Jack Trout and Steve Rivkin have updated it and added new material they wish they had written the first time around. Now it's better than ever, with eighteen new case studies, completely updated material, and three new chapters. One offers extensive research on category commoditization. Another covers differentiation in the new world of buzz. The third new chapter reveals how you can differentiate anything using compelling, nonbusiness examples to prove this point. If you've read the First Edition, you'll probably enjoy this new Second Edition even more. For a full understanding of differentiation today, keep this purple copy on your shelf next to the original red one. *The editors of Soundview Executive Book Summaries.
