Marketing cover

Written by a team of renowned experts in the field, Marketing: A Critical Textbook provides a unique introduction and overview of critical approaches to marketing.

Ideally suited to advanced students of marketing, the book uses examples and ′real world′ case studies to illustrate and discuss major alternative and critical perspectives on the subject, enabling students to constructively question the conventional assumptions, concepts and models with which they are already familiar.

 

- Explains and debates key concepts in a clear, readable and concise manner.

- Provides practical and innovative demonstrations of abstract and difficult concepts through classroom exercises and individual and group activities.

- Includes a glossary of critical marketing terms.

- Additional material on the companion website, including a full Instructor′s Manual and free access to full-text journal articles for students.

Excellent background reading for advanced level students in marketing to gain thorough grounding in marketing theory -- Adam Raman * drupal *
An excellent and accessible overview of the key topics in marketing management and market research, from a critical perspective. Clear, well-written and engaging. -- Dr Alon Lischinsky * drupal *
I′m recommending this as supplemental reading for the new second year in marketing course to begin October 2014 -- Dr Andrew Whalley * drupal *
Here this has been linked to the incorrect course, this will be used as recommended reading in my ′Current Issues′ module.

There are very few textbooks which take a critical approach to marketing, most simply present standard threories, albeit in slightly different ways. Such a book was long overdue - it complements general text books very well, and reduces the effort of collating more critical, analytical material from journals. -- Dr Antje Cockrill * drupal *
A great and necessary book, useful for students without lacking in theoretical depth. This will be for quite a while a standard book for every marketing discussion that dares to go beyond Kotler. -- Dr Matthias Bode * drupal *
Excellent textbook, though a bit too abstract at times for MBA-level students. -- Dr Miriam Garvi * drupal *
Well-structured, readable, and comprehensive treatment; useful learning activities; glossary an important addition. -- Dr Niklas Woermann * drupal *
A very current marketing textbook with relevant case studies and useful insights. -- Dr Rosemary Burnley * drupal *
A very interesting and needed assessement of marketing -- Miss Susanna Molander * drupal *
A very insightful text that provides an excellent critical framework for evaluating marketing practice. High level for undergraduate, though for more advanced students, it is certainly a text that will ′make them think′. -- Mr David Cockayne * drupal *
An interesting book, though fairly ′heavy′ for the UG student cohort that it would target. -- Mr David Peck * drupal *
A different approach and well received by students as recommended reading.
Stimulated lots of useful tutorial discussions. Will keep on reading list -- Mr Graham Webb * drupal *
This whole text helps students recognise marketing conventions and think more critically about marketing theory and practice - very important since many of them will go onto become practitioners themselves. -- Mrs Caroline Walsh * drupal *
This text book looks at marketing from a different angle which is refreshing. However, the books are required for a first year course and I think it would be better to have a more traditional approach. However, I will include the book as additional reading.
Although the cover is inviting the text and greyness of print inside the book does make it a little drab and uninviting! -- Mrs Hilary Bishop * drupal *
A useful reference book that supports key themes. -- Mrs Laura Castles * drupal *
An accessible reader which informs and deepens students′ interest in critical marketing studies. -- Ms Jonquil Hinson * drupal *
the level of the book is too high for the expected three year students -- Ms Nerea Etura Luque * drupal *
Interesting theoretical discussion ! -- Professor Anne Leinovaara-Matomäki * drupal *
Excellent text -- Professor Daniel Valentine * drupal *
A refreshingly critical perspective on a discipline that typically takes itself far too seriously -- Professor Lars Binckebanck * drupal *
The approach taken by the book is not exactly useful for an introductory course, but the text is very informative and might be extremely helpful at a graduate/MBA level. -- Professor Ryan Eanes * drupal *
