~Preface WHAT'S NEW IN THE NINTH EDITION? What's new in the ninth edition is what's new in marketing. To put it simply. we foe.I a newcomer to marketing today needs to g;rapple with three core issues: Value, analytics and
metrics, and ethical and sustainable marketing;. Herc's just a sample of what we changed in this edition:
• Today's marketer needs to be .. a numbers person." lncreasingly,. the field is data driven,
and sophisticated analytics are revolutionizing the options organizations have at their fingertips to create, deliver, and m
and metrics, and in this edition we've continued to expand that coverage significantly to show how marketers use the exciting new toots they have available to understand and ha.mess ,..Big Data" as they strive to identify and meet customer needs. To reinforce
this focus throughout the book, each chapter provides a Melr-ics Moment box that de .. scribes some important ways to measure key marketing concepts and each chapter also includes an Apply Marketiug Metrics ~erci.se at the end.
• ln U,e cighth edition, we wen~ proud to be the first marketing principles textbook to devote an entire chapter (Chapter 5) to the =crgmg and ,•ital topic of Big Data and ma.rketing anal),tics. Now in the ninth edition we've greatly expanded that chaptct's
coverage to include nwnerous new key tlmnS, many more applic.ation examples to connect concepts to practice, and several nc-w tables and figures to further iUustrate this fascinating chapter material.
• The ninth edition shines an even larg~ spotlight on the importance oJ e thical and
sustainable marketing. The topic is so important to today's students that our cover• age of ethical issues begins right up front in Chapter 2. As soon as the s tudent basically understands what marketing is, he or she begins to learn how it should be. And ead\
chapter provides a boxed feature called Ripped from the Headlines: Ethical/Sustainable Decisions in the Real World. Here we describe a questionable marketing practice and then ask students for th.cir opinion on lhe subject All 14 of these boxes arc new for the ninth edition, induding attention to such firms as Coca..Cola, ChipotJc, Volkswagen, Kimberly Oark, and Allstar (the "Snuggie").
• Each chapter continues to fcature a Marketing in Action mini.case at the end, and 13
of these are brand new for the ninth edition. Among the exciting firms with interesting problems and opportunities featured in these cases arc Getfeedback, Airbus, Sprig, Faccl>ook, Disney, Target, and Alit>aba.
• The dOOS-ion•focUSL>d Real People vignettes that frame each chapter arc one of the sig• nature features of our book. We continue this tradjtion in the ninth edition with seven
new vignettes (50 percent of the total). These new vignettes include executives from Twitter, Campbell Soup, Weight Watchers, Levi Strauss, Quaker, BOP International,
and Pitch (the advertising agency for Burger King).
• We emphasize active learning and decision making because we kn.ow that is what l?m•
ployers sc>ck in today's graduates. We further sharpen our focus on employability in the ninth edition with the debut of a new supplemental fcatute, found in MyMarkct·· ingLab, called "Rising Stars in Marketing.• Here we present video clips contributed by

XVI I PREFACE
Ethics and Sustainability in Marketing
Because the role of ethics and sustainability in business and in 1narketing is so important, we focus on these topics not just in a single <:hapter but in ewry cltaptRr of the book. These
Ripped from tlte Headlines boxes feature real-life examples of e thical and sustainable decl· sions marketers are faced with on a day .. to-,day basis.
Easy-to-Follow Marketing Plan Template
Marketing: Real People, Real Cltoias, ninth edition, includes a handy supplement at the end of Chapter 3 that is a tc'tnplate of a marketing plan you can use as a road map as you make
your way through the book. The template provides a framework that is keyed to the major topics in the book, which will enable you to organize marketing concepts by chapter and create a solid marketing plan of your own.
Marketing Plan Appendix Appendix A, Marketing Plan: 11,e S&S Smoothie Company, provides a basic marketing
plan for this interesting, if fictitious, firm. The extended example gives s tudents the founda· tion they need to craft a complete marketing plan for a class project. ln addition, the plan includes hclpful "how to" guidcl..incs that answer many of the questions that students ask
while developing their own plans.
Career Appendix Appendix B, Your Future in a Markctu,g Career, provides guidance for students on how to plan for a succe;sful and rewarding career in the 6eld. Success is framed as de,•cl0ping a unique brand for yourself that mec'IS the nec--ds of the job market. Career guidance recommcn•
dations follow the s teps in a marketing plan with suggestions at each s tep for critical thinking and specific actions.
End-of-Chapter Study Map
Each chapter has an integrative study map for students that includes an Objective Summa• ry, Key Terms, and studeot assessment opportunities of several types: Concepts: Test Your Knowledge; Activities: Apply What You've Learned; Apply Marketing Metrics (more on this one follows); Choices: What Do You Think?, and Mini project: L.rom by Doing. 8y completing these assessments, students and instructors achieve maximum assuranw of lea.ming.
Measuring the Value of Marketing through Marketing Metrics Just how do marketers add value to a company, and how can they quantify that value?
More and more., businesses demand accountability,. and marketers respond as they develop a variety of ·'scorecards'' that show how specific marketing activities directly affect their company's return on invesunent (ROI). And on the job, ~,. decisions that marketers make
increasingly are informed by a mix of data-based facts coupled with good old markctu,g instinct. Each chapter provides a Metrics Momt'tll box that describes some important ways to measure key marketing concepts, including a short Apply lite Mttric exercise that asks the student to actually work with some of these measures. And every end-o(--chapter includes an Apply Marketing Metrics exercise th.at provides additional opportunities for students to practice measures that marketers use to hclp Ult.."tn make good decisions. Pricing excrciSL:.s included at the md of the Marketing Math Supplement following Chapter 10 provide the opportunity for students to work real-Life pricing problems.
