Synopses & Reviews
MARKETING: THE CORE, 3/e by Kerin, Hartley, and Rudelius continues the tradition of cutting-edge content and student-friendliness set by Marketing 9/e, but in a shorter, more accessible package. The Core distills Marketings 21 chapters down to 18, leaving instructors just the content they need to cover the essentials of marketing in a single semester.
Instructors using The Core also benefit from a full-sized supplements package that surpasses anything offered by the competition, while students will appreciate the easy-to-read paperback format thats equally kind to both the eyes and the pocketbook. The Core is more than just a “baby Kerin”; it combines great writing, currency, and supplements into the ideal package for budget-conscious students and time-conscious professors.
