“Prepare to have your existing concepts of new markets turned upside down. This is not another academic ‘thought experiment,’ but a practical, experience-driven manual for all who aspire to enhanced growth. New markets are all around us – not just in the developing world.

All in all, an essential read for every new market pioneer.”

Book review in BizEd Magazine, The Leading Voice of Business Education
The Irish Times
“Books on corporate strategy frequently fail to live up to the promises on their jackets. It is not easy to strike a good balance between bland observation and academic inaccessibility. In this book about finding and succeeding in new markets, Stephen Wunker gets the formula right, blending research, case studies and strategic analysis in a free-flowing text…Wunker has produced an excellent, thoroughly researched and accessible book on corporate strategy that should be of value to entrepreneurs and managers seeking to move established businesses in new directions.”
Book review in the Irish Times
CanadaOne
“The manner of writing and organization of this book is excellent. It avoids the convolution and inaccessibility common in academic writing, yet doesn’t make simple conclusions based on casual observations, balancing both readibillity and intelligence. A list of bullet points both introduces what will be discussed and summarizes the key points in every chapter, and a variety of comparative charts and graphs present information in a way that is easy to absorb. Simply put, Capturing New Markets is a great book. It is a thorough, well-written and well-evidenced piece on corporate strategy that provides guidance on how to identify, build, and succeed in new markets in a creative yet disciplined manner.”
Book review in CanadaOne
Business Daily
“The author describes, in an often very counter-intuitive manner, why new markets really matter, what those new markets really mean, and how to capture those opportunities for creating growth and new consumption patterns…the power of the book is how Stephen Wunker combines a strong theoretical framework for finding, developing, and dominating new markets, with the practical means to put an effective strategy in place to exploit the new market profitably and effectively. The book teaches businesses of all sizes how to locate and recognize the signs of a profitable new market, and how to exploit it fully, including the application of strategies not usually associated with traditional corporate market development…Read the very user friendly and essential book.”
