Basic marketing: A managerial approach

The condition of the book was excellent. The content is even bettter. The term and reading was truly appropriate and well related to the context. I would highly recommend this book to any one entering the global- marketing arena.

The book was brand new. One of the corners was a bit dented, but otherwise perfect.

This book was very easy to follow.

This is a fairly comprehensive fundamentals of marketing book. It is laid out well. It begins with an elementary explanation of the marketing discipline and its relationship to society. This is followed by an explanation of the ingredients in marketing strategy planning. Following this section, the author addresses the external factors that affect marketing decisions. This is followed by a discussion of demographic and behavioral deminisons of the customer. Then, the author catergories different type of customers. The next chapter presents an elementary review of marketing research. The most of the remainder of the text focuses on the 4 Ps--Product, Place, Promotion, and Price. This is probably the strongest part of the text. Throughout the text the author incorporates global and ethical issues that relate to the subject matter of each chapter. This is an excellent text for a principles or fundamentals of marketing course.
