Review
*NEW -- Tighter presentation and modular organization - Based on extensive user feedback, Kotler and Keller focused on preserving the strengths and core topics from previous editions, while carefully tightening coverage in every chapter for greater clarity. By organizing the text into eight parts of related material, a more modular approach, instructors have greater flexibility. "Many say Kotler defined this course when he wrote the first edition of this text. The 12th edition is particulary noteworthy because it's the first time Kotler is joined by a co-author. Are you familiar with Kevin Lane Keller?"**NEW - Philip Kotler invites Kevin Lane Keller to be co-author - Acknowledged as one of the international leaders in the study of strategic brand management and integrated marketing communications, Kevin is presently E.B.Osborn Professor of Marketing at the Amos Tuck School of Business Administration at Dartmouth College. His research has been widely cited and has received numerous awards, and he's served as brand confident to marketers at some of the world's top companies, including Disney, Ford, Intel, Levi Strauss, Nike, Procter & Gamble and Starbucks. Kevin also writes Strategic Brand Management (Prentice Hall)."Are you covering Holistic Marketing? Shouldn't your textbook?"*NEW -- "Holistic marketing" coverage -- Explores the emerging concept that recognizes that everything matters in marketing: internal marketing, integrated marketing, relationship marketing, and socially responsible marketing. For example: See pg. 18 (Figure 1.3) and new Chapter 22, which brings it all together."Have you seen any other marketing management book that comes close to the breadth and depth of current examples and practical tips that Marketing Management, 12e, offers?" *NEW -- Integrated examples -- 10-15 per chapter; 98% new to this edition! These short paragraphs appear within the core chapter material and provide vivid, real-world illustrations of chapter concepts. * NEW - "Marketing Memos" - 2-3 new per chapter. Provide tips and suggestions at all stages of the marketing management process, as well as practical advice and directions in dealing with various marketing decisions.*NEW - "Marketing Insights" - 2-3 new per chapter. Highlight current research findings and cover key marketing topics in greater depth.*NEW - Hands-on marketing plan exercise -- Located at the end of many chapters, starting in Chapter 2. Gives students hands-on experience in developing a customized marketing plan.*NEW -- End of chapter applications - Each Chapter Conclusion has:- 2 Marketing Applications -- 1. Marketing Debate, suggesting opposing points-of-view on an important marketing topic, and 2. Marketing Discussion, identifying provocative marketing issues and allowing a personal point-of-view. - Marketing Spotlight, an in-depth examination of one of the world's most successful marketing companies. Allows focused examination of top brands along the lines of the chapter theme. "Do you assign outside cases and readings in this course?

Excellent and Updated Textbook,
By
This review is from: Marketing Management (12th Edition) (Hardcover)
I have used Marketing textbooks by Philip Kotler when doing my MBA in the 1980s when I was a novice in the field of marketing. It is gratifying to note that my favourite marketing reference book has been kept up to date. This book is really the top quality book that one would expert of Kotler and his colleague.
The 12th edition of "Marketing Management" is an excellent textbook on the current marketing trends. It is an enjoyable and useful book. After reading the book, one will really understand that marketing is all about understanding the customer needs and finding solutions that delight the customer. The reader will come to appreciate that marketing is a philosophy of doing business for those organisations that are going to thrive in the current highly competitive global markets. This delightful book should be very useful for both newcomers to marketing and for those like me who studied marketing years ago and are at the risk of being left behind by the current marketing trends that exploit the vast opportunities presented by the internet. This is also a must have- book for those doing an MBA or other business studies at undergraduate level.

Over-Rated "Standard",
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Marketing Management (12th Edition) (Hardcover)
Although I can't compare the 12th edition to past versions of this text, I can say that the latest edition is heavy on theory with little quantitative data to back up its assertions. My MBA class's consensus was that the book's quality varied wildly from chapter-to-chapter, as if some of the chapters were written by one of the co-writers without any collaboration.

The Marketing Bible, But Ethically Challenged,
By Mostly Whiskey (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marketing Management (12th Edition) (Hardcover)
When I did my undergraduate studies in the 1980's I remember my professor explaining that Kotler had been, at that point, "the" marketing text book for 20 years. I'm not sure, but Kotler may have invented the word "marketing." Decades later it remains the definitive book on marketing studies.
This version of the book is comprehensive, densely written while still being easy to read, logically structured, up to date with regard to case studies and technology, etc. I highly recommend this book as a marketing text and have tried, unsuccessfully so far, to get a few of my marketing friends who have not had the pleasure of reading this book, to put it in their bathroom or something and read a section here and a section there. I have two knocks against this book. First, I find it to be a little lacking on the ethics side. There are many valid marketing techniques described which can be used, but which can also be abused. While the book does not ignore ethics altogether, I would have been more comfortable if along the way it highlighted that some of the practices described are not only "good ways to increase profit margins" but "are morally bankrupt" as well. The second knock is that the authors have seemingly gone crazy and included dozens upon dozens of cutesy words various academicians, desperate for a lasting claim to fame, have invented out of whole cloth to describe things that didn't really need their own unique words. Some of my favorites: Insourcing Reintermediation Unfocus Groups Glocalization Co-optation Neither of these complains should detract anyone from buying this book because it is, in the end, the great marketing text of our era.
