This is a good book, but generic and more suitable for entry level - not suitable for my final year specialist course -- Mr Maurizio Catulli * drupal *
I can′t condem the book and it gives lots of useful overviews of key topics. Best used as it describes itself... a "quick reference text" but not a core text." -- Mr Neil Wellman * drupal *
a useful quick reference text but not a textbook -- Mr Neil Wellman * drupal *
This book is currently being used by some of our students researching specific aspects of marketing -- Mrs Jo Alexander * drupal *
A bit too basic for post graduate -- Professor Jens Geersbro * drupal *
This book can only be recommended as an encyclopedic resource. As such, it works quite nicely. I will also recommend it for master level students who may have little or no background in marketing as a qucik update. As required reading, it is however much too basic for an advanced level marketing theory course - it would be more suited to an introductory class in that case. -- Professor Søren Askegaard * drupal *
