Importance of the Course You experience marketing through billboards, television commercials, and even in the cereal aisle at the grocery store. The 12th edition of Marketing, with its engaging presentation of concepts, will help you recognize how much marketing principles play a role in your day-to-day lives. With coverage of current market- ing practices and exciting new features Lamb, Hair, and McDaniel’s Marketing will have you saying, “Now that’s marketing!”

New Content In addition to the dozens of new examples in each chapter, we have added new topical content and revised and updated existing material throughout the book. There is an entirely new chapter devoted to the hot topic of social media and mar- keting, which delves into how companies are working to integrate the fast-paced technology into existing marketing plans, and the new ideas that surface every day regarding how to use social media. A new box feature, Marketing Metrics, intro- duces actual metrics, the math behind them, and the importance (and infl uence) of the marketing department in decision making. For more information, see the inside back cover.

TEXT PEDAGOGY REINFORCES LEARNING

Pedagogical features are meant to reinforce learning, but that doesn’t mean that they have to be boring. We have created teaching tools within the text itself that will excite interest as well as teach. Not one of our features is casually included: Each has been designed and written to meet a specifi c learning need, level, or style.

a Terms: Key terms appear in boldface in the text, with defi nitions in the mar- gins, making it easy for students to check their understanding of terminology. A complete alphabetical list of key terms appears at the end of each chapter as a study checklist, with page citations for easy reference.

a Ethics in Marketing boxes: In the 12th edition we continue our emphasis on ethics by integrating the discussion throughout the book via Ethics exercises and Ethics in Marketing boxes. These boxes offer thought-provoking questions focused on ethical decision making. This feature offers examples of how ethics comes into play in many marketing decisions. Are for-profi t universities ethi- cal? Is it right for a country to censor Internet providers? How much control can a person or a company have over online privacy? Is it ethical to charge what the market will bear? Students will consider these and many other hotly debated ethical questions. For more information, see the inside back cover.

a Global Perspectives boxes: Thinking globally should be a part of every man- ager’s tactical and strategic planning. In addition to focusing entirely on global

marketing in Chapter 5, the book contains global marketing subject matter that is fully integrated through the Global Perspectives boxes. The Global Perspectives boxes provide expanded global examples of the marketing issues facing companies on several continents. Each box concludes with thought- provoking questions carefully prepared to stimulate class discussion. For more information, see the inside back cover.

a Customer Experience boxes: At its very best, marketing is about creating an excellent experience for the consumer. Marketing showcases the importance of customer service through Customer Experience boxes. For more information, see the inside back cover.

a “Anatomy of” Feature: The “Anatomy of” graphics illustrate a particular con- cept, using a full page layout and photography to demonstrate the connection between the elements of a concept. Anatomies help you visualize the connec- tion between marketing concepts and their real-world applications.

a Marketing & You surveys: Your courses must be relevant and interactive. The short Marketing & You surveys at the beginning of each chapter are a fun way to introduce a chapter’s topic. Each survey is adapted from material in the Marketing Scales Handbook, and quickly demonstrates that every- one has experience with marketing—even if they don’t know it! Though Marketing & You is not meant to be used in a scientifi c context, it offers an interesting and fun way to introduce the chapter material.

a Visual learning o utcome summaries: Everyone doesn’t learn the same way; some students can read books and understand the concepts just from their verbal presentation. Other students need to rewrite the material in their own words in order to understand it completely. Still others learn best from diagrams and exhibits. Student focus groups have confi rmed this experience, and encouraged the use of the visual Review Learning Outcomes. These boxes are designed to give students a pic- ture of the content to help them recall the major points of the material. These reviews are not meant to repeat every nuance of the chapter con- tent. Rather, they are meant to provide visual cues that prompt the student to recall the salient points in the chapter.

a “By the Numbers” feature: Each chapter concludes with a quick numeric recap of interesting statistics from the chapter. By the Numbers keeps marketing alive for students and acts as an engaging and visual conclusion to the chapter.

a Review and Applications: The end of each chapter contains a section titled Review and Applications, a summary that distills the main points of the chap- ter. Chapter summaries are organized around the learning outcomes so that you can quickly check

your understanding of chapter concepts. Discussion questions and activities are under the learning outcome to which they pertain.

a Writing questions: To help improve your writing skills, we have included writing exercises in the review section at the end of each chapter. These exercises are marked with the icon shown here. The writing questions are designed to be brie so that you can accomplish writing assignments in a short time.

a Team activities: The ability to work collaboratively is a key to success in today’s business world. End-of-chapter team activities, identifi ed by the icon shown here, give you opportunities to learn to work together by engaging in consensus building and problem solving.

a Online activities: Understanding how to use the Internet for professional (and academic) purposes is critical in today’s business environment. End-of-chapter activities accompanied by the icon to the left give you the opportunity to hone your skills in this area.

a Application exercise: These activities are based on winning teaching ideas from the “Best of the Great Ideas in Teaching Marketing” contest held in conjunc- tion with the publication of the eighth edition. Developed by professors across the country, these exercises allow exploration of the principles of marketing in greater detail through engaging and enjoyable activities. For example, you might be assigned to research the complete supply chain for a specifi ed prod- uct or create an advertising campaign for a product using the rules from the Hasbro game Taboo.

a Ethics exercise: Short ethical dilemmas help students practice doing the right thing. The questions following each scenario prompt students to make an ethical decision and explain the rationale behind it. These exercises demon- strate the limitations to a code of ethics and to reinforce the importance of not simply consulting existing rules of conduct, but also of developing an ethical personality.

a Case studies: All chapters contain a case study with questions that guide you through problems facing real businesses today. These cases focus on a wide variety of companies and products, such as Girl Scout cookies, BMW, Pantone, Marriott, Ford, the hauling capacity of the U.S. transportation industry, Groupon, and others.

a Company clips: All chapters contain a summary of the Company Clip video with related viewing and discussion questions. Company Clips segments average 8 minutes in length, which is enough time to cover core marketing issues facing Method, ReadyMade magazine, Sephora, Vans, Kodak, and Acid + All.

a Marketing miscues: At the end of each part, you will fi nd new cases that describe good and bad ideas that couldn’t make it in the rough-and-tumble marketplace. Often amusing and always interesting, these cases, including Yellow Tail wine’s charitable donation faux pas, Microsoft’s misstep with Angry Birds creators at Rovio, and the controversy behind Four Loko, will help your students avoid the same mistakes made by these well-known companies.

a Critical Thinking cases: In today’s dynamic business environment, marketers must be able to quickly evaluate data and craft appropriate response strate- gies. This edition of Marketing helps develop critical thinking skills with a more challenging comprehensive case at the end of each of the seven major

parts. The seven new Critical Thinking Cases feature issues confronting well- known brands such as Mary Kay Inc., American Airlines, and Lyon College, and ask students to evaluate the situation, identify key issues, and make decisions.

a Annotated marketing plan: The marketing plan appendix at the end of the book includes annotations that tie each part of the plan to the material throughout the book, allowing students to see the correlation between the chapters in the book and the elements of a professional marketing plan for a real company.

All components of our comprehensive support package have been developed to help you prepare lectures and tests as quickly and easily as possible. We provide a wealth of information and activities beyond the text to supplement your lectures, as well as teaching aids in a variety of formats to fi t your own teaching style.

Online Resources The fi rst marketing course is an important foundation course for students who plan on majoring in marketing, and as a foundation course in business administra- tion programs. The discipline builds on the foundation of several fi elds, borrow- ing concepts from economics, strategy, psychology, and statistics. At fi rst you may notice that there is not as much assigned homework as you might fi nd in courses such as accounting, statistics, or fi nance. Do not get into the habit of thinking that you can get by simply by paying attention and cramming before the midterm and fi nal examinations. A disciplined approach to studying, reading the assigned chap- ters before lectures, and utilizing the online resources that complement this book will help you get the most out of this course and lead to a richer understanding of marketing.

There is a rich collection of study tools that will help you in your marketing course. These resources are available on a number of teaching and learning man- agement systems to best meet you and your instructor’s needs. If your instructor required the online component it would be packaged with this textbook at your campus bookstore. If you purchased your book online or obtained it from an- other source, you can purchase the online resources that accompany this book at CengageBrain: http://www.cengagebrain.com/shop/ISBN/9781111821647.

If your instructor did not assign the online resources, you can still purchase ac- cess at the same URL. The Marketing CourseMate online resources provide a full complement of study aids and enhancements in a very user friendly interface. A more detailed description of the Marketing CourseMate program is provided on the inside front cover of this book.

1 An Overview of Marketing

Learning Outcomes

1 Defi ne the term marketing 2 Describe four marketing

management philosophies

3 Discuss the differences between sales and market orientations

4 Describe several reasons for studying marketing

What Is Marketing? What does the term marketing mean to you? Many people think it means the same as personal selling. Others think marketing is the same as advertising. Still others believe marketing has something to do with making products available in stores, arranging displays, and maintaining inventories of products for future sales. Actually, marketing includes all of these activities and more.

Marketing has two facets. First, it is a philosophy, an attitude, a perspective, or a management orientation that stresses customer satisfaction. Second, marketing is activities and processes used to implement this philosophy.

ria Marke- ting involves more than just activities performed by the marketing department.

The American Marketing Association’s defi nition of marketing focuses on the second facet. Marketing is the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large.1
