Foundations of Marketing offers a thorough and contemporary overview of the fundamental theories and concepts of maketing. It is a "classic" textbook that clearly establishes marketing's roots in the past while critically embracing and evaluating newer trends and research within the discipline. The vision for the eigth edition is for a more student-friendly textbook that contains a vibrant design with great visual impact, more examples and practical applications, and updated content.
