Marketing theory student text

As a relatively young, applied discipline, one major challenge for marketing has been to build its own distinct body of theory. One problem for teachers of the subject is that many students find books on marketing theory dense and difficult to follow. Most are written for academics and researchers, not for undergraduates and taught postgraduates. The first edition of Marketing Theory: A Student Text aimed to fill this gap. Building on the popularity of the first edition, published in 2000, Michael J. Baker has teamed up with co-editor Michael Saren to lead a fully updated, second edition. Tackling the roots of marketing theory, and unraveling the many influences and debates that have come to define the discipline, this book is a must-have student text. Bringing together new and original chapters, together with updated seminal chapters from the popular previous edition, Marketing Theory, A Student Text, Second Edition is an authoritative introduction to the central themes of the discipline.

Since 1994 there have been a number of changes to the Certificate in Marketing (CIM) examinations. This workbook is one of a series based on the CIM new syllabus, and designed to help the student with the underpinning knowledge needed. Examination hints and revision tips are provided. The approach is student centred with a variety of syllabus related activities, questions and definitions. Individual and group based activities are used to supplement the text. An emphasis has been placed on providing the student with the knowledge, understanding and the ability to apply it to realistic situations. Each chapter includes: chapter objectives; chapter tasks; study tips; practical examples to test knowledge; where to find out more; chapter summary; revision tips; examination hints.

Professor Richard Sandhusen's brand-new and important fourth edition of Marketing explains how four digital-age systems have merged into one to change marketing and management practice as much in the past five years as in the previous half century.

Here is vital information for students soon entering business in today's ever more globally competitive world.
