'A very well structured and thought-provoking textbook which offers contemporary insights into different aspects of marketing and its implications for society.'
'This book is excellent for those new to marketing as it is easy to read and crammed full of interesting, up-to-date and useful information, whether you are a student or marketing practitioner.'
A engaging textbook, I have set multiple readings from this book throughout the module, especially for the postgraduate students as there is a lovely depth of discussion for each topic.
Very interesting book, like everything else Blythe has done. Excellent and illustrative examples, a very nice read for first year students. The chapters on consumer behaviour and B2B marketing are particularly insightful.
An invaluable old faithful text, good point of reference
Unfortunately the related marketing project was postponed.
A good support resource to enhance students' understanding of the application of marketing within an organisation
A useful overview
Great book which enables students to grasp the most salient principles which are clearly presented in Jim Blythe's inimitable style.
A great complimentary academic text to ensure students have the opportunity to embed a wide range of theories.
