Help students learn more efficiently and effectively: New Enhanced Learning Design
The text’s active and integrative presentation includes learning enhancements such as annotated chapter-opening stories and a chapter-opening objective outline. The chapter-opening layout helps to preview and position the chapter and its key concepts. Figures help students to simplify and organize chapter material. End-of-chapter features help to summarize important chapter concepts and highlight important themes, such as marketing and the economy, marketing technology, ethics, and additional company cases. In all, the innovative learning design facilitates student understanding and eases learning.
Help students see the real-world connection: New and Revised Cases and Examples
This edition features a broader spread of cases and examples from around the world. Familiar service situations that students can identify with — such as breakdown of an internet service, long waiting times at a fast-food restaurant, a referral reward program gone wrong — are often used to make it easier for them to see the link between theory and practice.
Marketing & the Economy at the end of each chapter provides for discussion of the impact of recent economic trends on consumer and marketer decisions.
Marketing by the Numbers is an exercise at the end of each chapter which lets students apply analytical and financial thinking to relevant chapter concepts and links the chapter to an innovative Appendix 2 that provides students with a comprehensive introduction to the marketing financial analysis that helps to guide, assess, and support marketing decisions.
Help students understand sustainability in marketing: New Coverage of Sustainable Marketing
New material throughout the third edition highlights the increasing importance of sustainable marketing. The discussion begins in Chapter 1 and ends in Chapter 20, which pulls marketing together under a sustainable marketing framework. In between, frequent discussions and examples show how sustainable marketing calls for socially and environmentally responsible actions that meet both the immediate and the future needs of customers, companies, and society as a whole.
