3.0 out of 5 stars Big, Bulky and Full of Info, But a Very Hard Read., May 3, 2005

This review is from: International Marketing with PowerWeb (Hardcover)

I recently used this Text to teach 3 MBA-level marketing courses. The text was selected by the department, but I would not recommend it. While it is fairly comprehensive, it lacks a good real-world feel and students found it tedious. There were a number of very good cases and examples, but somehow they did not connect well with the stodgy writing of the text. It feels like it could have been 1/2 the size and better written. That said, there are a limited number of texts available for this level of coursework. The next time I teach this class, I will look for a better text. You better really really enjoy reading and international marketing if you buy this book for non-academic uses. If you are a professor, be sure to get an advance copy before you select it. That said, you may be able to make this text work, if you have some strong backing materials. However, if you are a student, have a Red Bull handy--this one is a hard read.

Hope this helps!

2.0 out of 5 stars a good coverage, but..., February 6, 2000

This review is from: International Marketing (Hardcover)

I used his book as an MBA student 15 or so years ago. Now as an adjunct professor, I am using this newest edition in my undergraduate classes. Although my observation may be biased, the book is a bit too encyclopedic, a bit superficial in coverage, and fails to excite the students. I wish it were more up-to-date.

Newer editions don't seem to have capture current trends and perspectives well.
