Review
I think the strengths of the Zikmund and d'Amico text are the visual appeal and content of the text. I also think the supplemental package is very good. I like the approach used by the authors and the incorporation of ethical and global issues. I think they have done a good job of combining theory and application of the theory into the text. This is very important.
From an overall perspective, the topics and chapters presented in Effective Marketing do a much more detailed job at meeting my course objectives [than my current text]. In addition, the heavy application of case studies to marketing situations helps to illustrate and "bring home" key concepts more clearly.
The writing style of the Zikmund text seems to be a bit more personal than the book I'm using, as if the author is sitting across a table from the student and telling the student face-to-face about the material.
