This textbook presents the fundamentals of marketing, the market, the consumer's environment and behaviour, the marketing research, and the information systems. It later goes deeper into the marketing tools (product and services management, pricing, communication, sales, distribution and, lastly, the marketing plan), all supported by examples and case studies. Chapters dealing with relationship marketing, customer relations management, new communication technologies and emerging marketing techniques have also been included.
Fundamentals of Marketing offers a modern approach, adapted to the new teaching methodologies which will make both the teaching and learning of the principles of marketing much easier.
