This latest edition of Principles and Practice of Marketing builds on its established strengths of clear exposition of theory linked to marketing practice. Updated throughout, the text takes into account today's greater emphasis on direct marketing and relationship marketing. The structure of the previous edition is retained with four main parts covering Fundamentals of Modern Marketing Thought, Marketing Mix Decisions, Competition and Markets and Marketing Implementation and Applications. (March 2001)
Brilliant textbook with a vast amount of content, relevant examples, and case studies. I was a bit daunted at first with how dense the text was but after covering the material in class, I found it really helpful to read about it further in the textbook. This is a book I will be dipping back in and out of throughout my marketing course and beyond.
Kotler is the best know author of books of Marketing but, I think, his books’ cases are based on American companies, aren’t they. This book has a lot of European cases. I like the diversity.
I used this book in 4 different acadamic years! it is a valuable asset for any business management student. The book is simple, organized, well presented and contain many examples.
