Review

'This book is an excellent introductory marketing text. Not only are all of the conventional basics concisely explained, but also the level of detailed theory coverage is remarkably good...There are many up-to-date vignettes to illustrate contemporary marketing practice and the many e-examples give a real flavour of marketing practice today.' - Charles Dennis, School of Business and Management, Brunel University
