#174-175 - combined according to the title: Marketing Management: A South Asian Perspective is not the same as Marketing Management and Marketing Management: An Asian Perspective
Also when there is an extra material, or title includes "pack" or"set" and cover image shows more than 1 cover, content might be different. I didn't combine them because I'm not sure if they are the same.

All the books of Philip Kotler and Gary Armstrong needs through look and a lot of manual work - keeping same primary author for every edition, sorting out what to be combined. I'm not an expert in this field. I suggest you to start a new thread for this issue in "Looking for a project", because it doestn't seem like a lot of librarians are going to work on this thread anyway.

#174-175 - combined according to the title: Marketing Management: A South Asian Perspective is not the same as Marketing Management and [book:Marketing M..."
Mr. Kotler has three principal textbooks: Marketing Management, Principles of Marketing, and Marketing: An Introduction. I do not think there are exist other textbooks because these books are too comprehensive.
The second reason why those books are the same is the variety. We have, for example, Principles of Marketing, Principles of Marketing, Global Edition, Principles of Marketing, European edition, and Principles of Marketing, Canadian Edition. What is the difference? The cases study. Is it possible to write other Principles of Marketing? Absolutely not. This book is too comprehensive.
The third reason. What difference between Marketing Management and Principles of Marketing? I don't know. I have read both of these books, but I can't say what the difference. Some details, maybe. These two books very, very the same.

It is not worth it. Because you will have to find a person who has read all versions of, for example, Principles of Marketing (Global Edition, European edition, Canadian Edition, etc). It may be only Philip Kotler itself.

(Brilliant Business) - is not a series

I agree they are the same, and combined them.
But when it's Principles of Marketing : A South Asian Perspective or Pearson Etext Principles of Marketing -- Access Card - unless I'm 100% sure they have no differences, I won't combine them.
The main issue with #176 is that half of the editions have Kotler as primary author, and the other half - Armstrong. We need to check each of 130+ edition's credits, set the same primary author, uncombine part of them if needed, then combine everything similar according to the title, cover, description, page count. Somebody could make it, it's not completely impossible. But starting a new thread is up to you, of course.
