These PowerPoints can be used “off the shelf,” in combination with the instructor’s own materials, and/or can be combined with the digital four-color ad set to create powerful presentations which include both text and non-text materials.
Videos can be an excellent way to kick off a chapter or a major segment of discussion. The authors have 15 videos for the 11th edition.
Data from DDB Worldwide’s 2004 lifestyle study have been included in a disk that accompanies the text. This data is new starting with the 10th edition and includes new and exciting variables relating to culture, ideal self, decision making, and internet shopping.
