This new edition retains the best elements of the fourth edition such as continued emphasis on the linkage between good ethics and good marketing, and balanced representation of all regions and cultures of Canada. The new strengths of the Fifth Edition lie in its expanded coverage of topics to reflect the impact of the Internet and the trend toward globalization, and refined and condensed coverage of some topics to produce a more compact, streamlined text.

About the Author:
As a team, Philip Kotler and Gary Armstrong provide a blend of skills uniquely suited to writing an introductory marketing text. Professor Kotler is one of the world's leading authorities on marketing. Professor Armstrong is an award-winning teacher of undergraduate business students. Together they make the complex world of marketing practical, approachable, and enjoyable.

Philip Kotler is S. C. Johnson & Son Distinguished Professor of International Marketing at the Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. He received his master's degree at the University of Chicago and his PhD at M.I.T., both in economics. Dr. Kotler is author of Marketing Management (Pearson), now in its 15th Edition and the most widely used marketing textbook in graduate schools of business worldwide. He has authored dozens of other successful books and has written more than 100 articles in leading journals. He is the only three-time winner of the coveted Alpha Kappa Psi award for the best annual article in the Journal of Marketing.

Professor Kotler was named the first recipient of four major awards: the Distinguished Marketing Educator of the Year Award and the William L. Wilkie "Marketing for a Better World" Award, both given by the American Marketing Association; the Philip Kotler Award for Excellence in Health Care Marketing presented by the Academy for Health Care Services Marketing; and the Sheth Foundation Medal for Exceptional Contribution to Marketing Scholarship and Practice. His numerous other major honors include the Sales and Marketing Executives International Marketing Educator of the Year Award; The European Association of Marketing Consultants and Trainers Marketing Excellence Award; the Charles Coolidge Parlin Marketing Research Award; and the Paul D. Converse Award, given by the American Marketing Association to honor "outstanding contributions to science in marketing." A recent Forbes survey ranks Professor Kotler in the top 10 of the world's most influential business thinkers. And in a recent Financial Times poll of 1,000 senior executives across the world, Professor Kotler was ranked as the fourth "most influential business writer/guru" of the 21st century.

Dr. Kotler has served as chairman of the College on Marketing of the Institute of Management Sciences, a director of the American Marketing Association, and a trustee of the Marketing Science Institute. He has consulted with many major US and international companies in the areas of marketing strategy and planning, marketing organization, and international marketing. He has traveled and lectured extensively throughout Europe, Asia, and South America, advising companies and governments about global marketing practices and opportunities.

Dr. Armstrong has contributed numerous articles to leading business journals. As a consultant and researcher, he has worked with many companies on marketing research, sales management, and marketing strategy.

But Professor Armstrong's first love has always been teaching. His long-held Blackwell Distinguished Professorship is the only permanent endowed professorship for distinguished undergraduate teaching at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has been very active in the teaching and administration of Kenan-Flagler's undergraduate program. His administrative posts have included Chair of Marketing, Associate Director of the Undergraduate Business Program, Director of the Business Honors Program, and many others.

He is the only repeat recipient of school's highly regarded Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching, which he received three times. Most recently, Professor Armstrong received the UNC Board of Governors Award for Excellence in Teaching, the highest teaching honor bestowed by the sixteen-campus University of North Carolina system.

As well as thorough theoretical coverage, this text emphasises implementation and application through highlighted examples, vignettes and case studies, based on a wide variety of national and international organisations and brands. New features for this edition: A new chapter dedicated to e-marketing and new media, recognising the importance and potential of this emerging area An ‘e-marketing in action’ vignette in each chapter further emphasising the pervasiveness and relevance of electronic tools in every area of marketing activity A more overt focus on corporate social responsibility throughout the text and specifically through a new ‘CSR in action’ vignette in each chapter Expansion and revision of a number of favourite case studies from the second edition as well as a wide range of completely new case studies Classic features: A clearly written and structured text, including chapter objectives and summary. A wide selection of vignettes and examples are included in each chapter to illustrate the concepts presented. These are drawn from a range of industries, organisations and countries. Each chapter has two short case studies, again drawn from a range of industries, organisations and countries. End of chapter questions give students the opportunity to revise the material presented and to check their understanding of it. Discussion questions, encouraging students to debate issues or to research further into marketing practice can also be used as the basis for seminar work for students working individually or in small groups.
