Arithmetic activities handbook: An individualized and group approach to teaching the basic skills

by Elnora W. Stuart

Appropriate for four-year and two-year undergraduate courses in Principles of Marketing. No other book brings students closer to doing real marketing. Each chapter introduces a decision maker, describes the marketing decisions they faced in a small case study within the chapter, and then concludes with the decisions that were made. Within this framework the text explores such cutting-edge topics as e-commerce and the technological revolution, integrated marketing communications, and entrepreneurship. With the explosion of new marketing technologies today, students are as likely to end up working for small, new, dynamic firms as they are to be employed by the traditional big companies. The text therefore covers not only the Four Ps and other marketing basics, but also introduces students to the new era of social and environmental awareness, singling out companies that conduct business ethically and return value to society. The text also addresses such themes as the importance of building relationships with customers and developing a global perspective.

This really deserves a 3.5, but it is what it is.

I'll be honest: I didn't read all of this. I probably won't until I have an extensive break. Regardless, what I did read helped to emphasize what I did- and still am- learning in class. A lot of the time the chapters were too long. It's my only real complaint.

Conclusion

Definitely a must-read for those taking beginner marketing classes. It gives you a good foundation in what is to come later on or so I'm told.

They have done a good amount of editing to make the book easy to review and reference, but the ethics subsections and case scenarios lack much of a point. It seemed like the authors were trying to make this an all-in-one course, but they would have done better to simply write a textbook and allow an instructor to create lessons from the material. Also, the digital labs (separate purchase) use some of the same language, but do not relate well to the material, and they praise correct answers but fail to explain student mistakes.

Inaccurate on a lot of info- for example, VF has never owned Ralph Lauren. Ever. They're a huge competitor actually.

Good for marketing knowledge acquiring. But nit suitable for passing the module at uni.

Blah. Marketing: the pseudo-scientific part of business education that tries to prove that people really are no more than a pig, in a cage, on antibiotics.

Horrible editing for a text book. Run together words, misspelled words and the like. I felt less intelligent after reading it.
