About this Book:

This is a basic introduction to marketing. But it has several unique features. For one thing, there is an emphasis on an international perspective. Markets are globalizing: You may be working for a company in Brooklyn or in Berlin, but chances are your competition is coming from outside your own country. Marketers and companies who fail to recognize that they are functioning in a global marketplace invite trouble and risk financial disaster. Furthermore, basic marketing principles are also global: They are as applicable in Tokyo as in London, in New York, or in Dar Es Salaam. Markets are different, but the marketing discipline is universal.

Another point of distinction is the emphasis on marketing planning. In particular, this book includes an outline for a typical marketing plan and a case study for the launch of a real product that illustrates how a marketing plan comes together.
