I read this book for a marketing class (no wayyy) and it was actually pretty interesting! I appreciated that it had up to date references that made the material more relevant and easier to get through. I probably will not read it again unless required to, but 3 stars is sufficient. Glad to be done 🫡.
I enjoyed the book, just it was for class and I had to do McGraw Hill homework on every chapter. PLEASE textbooks need to include definitions hyperlinked to vocab words and better glossaries. Had to use Smokin Notes for the class which stole the allure of the textbook. Love the subject of marketing though.
OK, so the class I needed this book for almost killed me, but the book itself is pretty great. I've tangentially worked "near" marketing for a number of years, but it's never been my primary focus. But I now work for a marketing firm, so I thought a good intro to basic marketing concepts was important. While not everything I read was relevant to my particular circumstances, the book overall was quite helpful in delineating some important concepts. While I'd likely *never* read this of my own free will, I would definitely suggest it as a textbook.
