Marketing

This textbook outlines key principles and theories, illustrating them with recent examples, and discusses various topics relevant to product decisions, distribution, promotion, pricing, and technology-driven marketing. A companion CD-ROM contains worksheets, a multicultural marketing module, a competitive intelligence module, self-tests, a Power Point presentation, and video clips. The authors teach marketing and business at Texas Christian University, Louisiana State University, and the University of Texas in Arlington. Applying a commonly used marketing ploy itself, the book lists a 2004 copyright date in an effort to look a year newer than it is. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
