Basic Marketing: A Global Managerial Approach

by William D. Perreault Jr., Lindsay Meredith, E. Jerome McCarthy

Basic Marketing is the market leading principles text domestically. Basic Marketing offers a very thorough integration of the latest marketing themes, topics, and examples woven throughout the body of the text. This integration of themes, topics, and examples is carefully blended with the text’s traditional strengths of clear, accessible communication, a focus on management decision-making in marketing, and completely integrated coverage of special topics such as technology, ethics, international perspectives, relationship marketing, and services. This is the first book to develop and present the 4 P’s framework when describing the components of the marketing mix (Product, Price, Place, Promotion). Where most principles of marketing texts have separate supplement authors, Bill Perreault is the creator of every item in the package. This unique involvement ensures quality, accuracy, and reliability.ity.

So. Turns out I bought the wrong prerequisite book and didn't find out about it until I had shelled out a bunch of money for this behemoth. The first 60 pages were pretty good though...although I wasn't looking forward to reading a 900 page textbook. There was definitely some good information for one (or more) of my former employers to keep in mind. Stuff about working as a team, non-profits needing to also be customer (member) focused, etc. Ah well.

I bought this for $2 at a secondhand bookstore in my mall, and it’s the reason I passed my marketing CLEP exam.

My only qualms are that it uses outdated language and references, and the structure of the textbook makes it hard to read through without long breaks in between chapters.

Otherwise very handy.

Looking up for 4Ps model was my main reason why I have read this reference book, it has a comprehensive analysis for the basic concept of marketing mix.
Very recommended for postgraduate students who are planning to conduct a research on marketing mix
