Marketing Management text

I was a little dispointed as the supplier did not publish the edition of the book - so I received the wrong edition. But it is a good text, however Marketing is an area that is updated very regularly with new information - so you need to get the most current edition.

This book is part of Executive MBA courses, I have to admit that, this book covers different areas and considered as one of the important Marketing references.

Rip off, no new material since edition 2

Kotler tries to sell college students new books every year, hence the 12th edition he is now marketing. There is no new information, and the information contained is no different from any $12 marketing book. Students, buy an old edition and save, teachers stop using books like this, more and better information is available for free over the net anyway. Just because they are expensive and shiny doesn't mean they are worthwhile. BTW this is also available in an international edition with the exact same content for 1/4 of the cost.

Marketing Bible

This book by Marketing Guru Philip Kotler is a Bible you must read before starting your career in Marketing. 'Marketing Management' mainly focuses on strategic decisions of a marketer, such as positioning, segmentation, startegies at different stages of product life cycle, brand building strategies, etc. It is better to finish 'Principles of Marketing' first to understand the strategies in marketing management.
A joy to read, with great case studies and online companion site.

A Marketing textbook for students, not managers
~ Written on Dec 31, 2004. 22 out of 23 users found this review helpful.

No doubt this book is a classic in Marketing - most any MBA program in the world has this book as required, if not optional, reading. If you're taking an academic Marketing class, you'll probably be required to buy this, and rightfully so. If you need a desk reference on Marketing, again this will be a good read.

That said, it is a very long and detailed read that covers Marketing definitions, Marketing gurus, Marketing tactics, Marketing strategy... The whole 9 (or 10?) yards. In being everything to everyone, the book loses some of it's strength. If your interests are less broad and academic, the book is too broad. Interesting in improving your advertising? There's more precise books out there. Interested in applied Marketing Strategy? Again, there's more focused books available than even just reading Kotler's sections.
