Boone and Kurtz's Contemporary Marketing has proved to be the premier introduction to marketing text and package, edition after edition. With each edition, this best selling author team builds and improves upon past innovations, creating the most technologically advanced, student friendly, instructor supported text available. The tenth edition is the first text to devote two full chapters (an entire part) to technology issues. Part Two, Managing Technology to Achieve Marketing Success, explores emerging e-commerce concepts and related issues and also includes an entire chapter devoted to the impact of technology and the Internet on relationship marketing.
Well, it's a textbook. I always feel reluctant to rate a textbook based on entertainment value, but I really resisted this one especially and I had trouble getting through my class readings. It does include a lot of information, so it's probably effective for learning about marketing. Just that I hated it.
This was actually one of my favorite textbooks to read - the content was very engaging and easy to follow. It made homework assignments a lot easier. I wish more textbooks were presented in this format.
My text for my marketing class. It seems pretty informational. A bit intimidating because of it's size-I wouldn't have thought a marketing book to be this big-esecially because it's just a general class.
