1.0 out of 5 stars Good marketable book outside, not so good inside, July 26, 2006

This review is from: Marketing Management (Hardcover)

I expected more about this book, firts of all, only a quarter of the book contain the elementary Marketing principles and the remainder only cases. But the worse, there is not connection between cases and theory, not just one case example analysis, not reference at all in chapters with cases. If I had wanted to buy cases of marketing management without analysis, I were going to the Harvard Bussiness online to buy the school cases.
Also in the back cover they say about "New Videos: Approximately 50% of the video segments are brand new for this edition", Sincerely I don't know where are those videos, no CD, no DVD, nothing in the website of book: [...] By the way, that website is too poor, in comparison to other website of books.
Summarizing too expensive book for few effective information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book for a college course, December 10, 2009

Donald Hsu (NYC, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MARKETING MANAGEMENT (Hardcover)

This book got thirteen chapters covering 4Ps, marketing research, consumer behavior, market segmentation, integrated communication, distribution, personal selling, pricing, marketing of services, and global marketing.
There are four sections of cases, from short one to in-depth study.

I use this book as a college-level course. Final projects were done using these cases. Students like the book.
The book will be better if it includes fewer cases, but more thorough analysis of the cases.

Contrary to other critics here, I believe the book is very good.
