A comprehensive, practice-driven approach to developing decision-making skills in marketing.

Decision-making in marketing is first and foremost, a skill. And since all skills are learned through practice, Strategic Marketing Problems: Cases and Comments balances the concepts and tools used for solving marketing problems with numerous case studies that challenge students to apply what they’ve learned.  

The twelfth edition of Strategic Marketing Problems: Cases and Comments includes new cases, updated material and a new chapter on Global Marketing.

A brand new simulation by Mohan Sawhney and Raj Malhotra (Northwestern University), together with PowerSim and Arthur Andersen.

• Improve your sensemaking ability in complex and dynamic digital arenas. Learn to detect patterns in a chaotic world and across a wide array of digital arenas.
• Improve your systems thinking ability by thinking holistically and dynamically about complex systems. Improve your ability to see connections across functional areas an over time.
