Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Dr Zubin Sethna is currently Principal Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Entrepreneurial Marketing at Regent’s University London. He has successfully launched five businesses and as Managing Consultant at Baresman Consulting, he has integrated marketing/consumer behavioural strategy with management consultancy and training for numerous organisations both in the UK and internationally, and across a variety of industry sectors. He is Editor-in-Chief of the internationally respected Journal of Research in Marketing and Entrepreneurship (JRME) and is also a reviewer for a variety of leading marketing and business journals, including the European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Management, and Journal of Strategic Marketing.

Jim has written 18 books, over 50 journal articles, and has contributed chapters to 8 other books. He has taught overseas, written open-learning packs for international training organisations and has been a Senior Examiner for the Chartered Institute of Marketing.
