Product Description
This book explores what marketing is and how an enterprise can differentiate itself from others in attracting and retaining customers. The book is organized according to the design of the first-year marketing course in the two-year MBA program at the Harvard Business School. Each chapter of the book is based on materials written by HBS faculty and used by MBA students in preparation for classroom participation. The book consists of three parts: the analysis of marketing opportunities, the formulation of marketing strategy, and the execution of that strategy.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent at Providing the Basics ...   October 22, 2007

This book provides marketing information to non marketing professionals. It outlines the basic process of marketing from understanding buyer behaviors all the way through managing existing customers. It is fairly well written, nicely organized and a very quick read.

I recomend this book to anyone who may be considering a marketing career to better understand the role of marketers, any non marketing professional and first year marketing students.
