WELCOME FROM THE AUTHORS!

Is technology an integral part of yo ur life? Are you innovative and entr

epreneurial? Do you consider

purpose-driven work important? Ha ve you ever thought you could cha

nge the world? If the answer

to any of these questions is yes, yo ur decision to study marketing is a

perfect match! In addition, if

you are curious about robots in the marketplace, virtual reality and aug

mented reality in advertising,

wearable technology, YouTube cha nnel brand advocates, shopping on

Pinterest, or the gamification

of almost everything, you will be exc ited by the insights you will learn du

ring your studies. And we are

excited to have the opportunity to h elp you along the way with our text

book about this exciting field!

We know from our experiences in the classroom that students choo

se to study marketing for

many reasons. For marketing majo rs this course is the first of many o

n the way to a marketing de-

gree. For students from other busi ness majors this may be a required

course in a business “core.”

For many other students, marketin g is an elective chosen because

of a personal interest in the

marketplace. Regardless of your r easons for taking this course, it is

our pleasure to help you ex-

plore the many new trends, conc epts, practices, challenges, and o

pportunities that are part of

marketing today. We encourage yo u to use your own past experience

s and future interests to cre-

ate a personalized journey of expl oration and study.

The dynamic nature of the marke ting discipline necessitates equa

lly dynamic learning re-

sources. As a result, we have focus ed our time and energy on ensurin

g that our textbook provides

the most current, insightful, and co mprehensive coverage of the mar

ketplace today. The dramatic

changes in student learning styles —from traditional observational sty

les to contemporary collab-

orative styles—are also reflected in our efforts as we have included m

any features to match these

interests. Our approach to present ing the complexities of marketing a

nd facilitating the changes in

learning is based on three importa nt dimensions:

• Engagement. As professors we have benefited from interactions

with many exceptional stu-

dents, managers, and instructors. T heir insights have contributed to o

ur approach to teaching

and, subsequently, to our efforts as textbook authors. One of the esse

ntial elements of our ap-

proach is a commitment to active l earning through engaging, integra

ted, and timely materials.

In-class activities, an interactive bl og, marketing plan exercises, and

in-text links to online ads

and web pages are just a few exam ples of the components of our eng

agement model.

• Leadership. Our approach is als o based on a commitment to takin

g a leadership role in the

development and presentation of new ideas, principles, theories, an

d practices in marketing.

This is more important now than e ver before, as the pace of change

in our discipline acceler-

ates and influences almost every a spect of traditional marketing. We a

re certain that exposure

to leading-edge material related to topics such as social media, data

analytics, and marketing

metrics can help students become leaders in their jobs and careers.

• Innovation. New educational tec hnologies and innovative teaching

tools have magnified the

engagement and leadership aspe cts of our approach. Connect, Lea

rnSmart, and SmartBook,

for example, provide a digital and interactive platform that embrace

s the “anytime and any-

where” style of today’s students. In addition, we have provided new v

ideos and increased the

visual impact of the text and Pow erPoint materials to facilitate mul

timedia approaches to

learning.

Through the previous 7 U.S. editio ns—and 19 international editions in

11 languages—we have

been gratified by the enthusiastic feedback we have received from

students and instructors. We

are very excited to have this oppo rtunity to share our passion for thi

s exciting discipline with you

today. Welcome to the 8th edition of Marketing: The Core! Roger A. Kerin
