5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent Intro to Marketing Text, December 24, 2002

By 

"bradmetz" (the University of Ottawa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Marketing: Real People, Real Decisions (Hardcover)

This text gives a great overview of the many aspects of marketing. The text explains all aspects in great theoretical detail with an abundance of real world examples to clearify each point. The text is up to date and the real people, real decisions stories are quite interesting and fitting to the subject of their respective chapters.

The book was easy to read and all important points are highlighted and defined in the page margins.

The study guide which comes with the text helps students remember the key points of each chapters by providing a brief summary of the chapter followed by a number questions of all different types.

This is the second administration text book that I have bought from Pearson Education and I would recommend this book for anyone who is taking or planning on taking an introduction to marketing course at the University or College level or even for those who just wish to know more about the topic of marketing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Big Savings over U.S. version, February 7, 2011

This review is from: Marketing: Real People, Real Choices (Paperback)

I saved big by buying an used International version of this textbook. The printed quality of some of the pages was a little blurry, but otherwise the book was in very good condition.

The product was accurately described and shipping was super-fast. I placed the order on the 5th and had the book 3 business days later. I couldn't be happier!

The following note is not part of the review, it is just to inform people who are interested in buying this INTERNATIONAL VERSION:

Other sellers & sites describe this version as being identical to the U.S. version, except for the front cover. That's not entirely true. The international version is 22 pages off. For example, page 50 of the U.S. version would be page 72 of the international version.
