Description
Books on marketing can inevitably be called into question as there are so many relevant works on the subject. However, many of them are either too difficult to understand, to lengthy and exhaustive or not related to practical decision making. In addition, most introductory texts deal solely with the marketing mix as the operational aspect of marketing or the strategic part. "Marketing: Principles and Practice" is different! It is an innovative and outstanding new marketing introductory textbook which deals with marketing in such a way that covers as few pages and is as accessible as possible, while communicating the fundamental, most important theoretical aspects and facilitating the transfer of this knowledge to real-life decision situations. In addition, the book not only integrates all relevant aspects of both strategic and operational marketing but also structures them in such a way, that both practitioners and students acquire a comprehensive and holistic overview, how it all fits together. Consequently, this book concentrates on the essential marketing know-how for both, practitioners and students. Having read this book: You will have a basic understanding of marketing and the process of marketing management. You will know the most important marketing instruments and how they interact. You can develop your own marketing plan.
