Essentials of Marketing

The eagerly awaited third edition of Brassington and Pettitt’s innovative and creative Essentials of Marketing is a concise, no-nonsense book, designed to contain all the essential information that students need to understand when taking a short introductory course.

Like Principles of Marketing, our essentials text brings together theory and practice. It covers a wide range of applications, industries and markets, exploring the way marketers must respond to those situations that demand an innovative response.

Distinctive features

Written in a lively style with great design, Essentials of Marketing features the following:

·    New and exciting examples from a range of industries, organisations and countries.

·    New topics essential to modern marketing such as non-profit marketing and e-marketing give a well-rounded and integrated understanding of the subject.

·    End-of-chapter questions reinforce understanding.

·    Thought-provoking and sometimes provocative real-world case studies designed for discussion are drawn from a range of well-known small, medium and large-sized companies.
