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

Marketing: The Core utilizes a unique, innovative, and effective pedagogical approach developed by the authors through the integration of their combined classroom, college, and university experiences. The elements of this approach have been the foundation for each edition of Marketing: The Core and serve as the core of the text and its supplements as they evolve and adapt to changes in student learning styles, the growth of the marketing discipline, and the development of new instructional technologies. The distinctive features of the approach are illustrated below:
The goal of the 8th edition of Marketing: The Core is to create an exceptional experience for today’s students and instructors of marketing. The development of Marketing: The Core was based on a rigorous process of assessment, and the outcome of the process is a text and package of learning tools that are based on engagement, leadership, and innovation in marketing education.

The members of this author team have benefited from extraordinary experiences as instructors, researchers, and consultants, as well as the feedback of users of previous editions of Marketing: The Core—now more than one million students! The authors believe that success in marketing education in the future will require the highest levels of engagement. They ensure engagement by facilitating interaction between students and four learning partners—the instructor, other students, busi- nesses, and the publisher. Some examples of the high-engagement elements of Marketing: The Core include:
In-Class Activities and Digital In-Class Activities. The in-class activities, located in the Instructor’s Manual, are designed to engage students in discussions with the instructor and among themselves. They involve surveys, online resources, out-of-class assignments, and personal observations. Each activity illustrates a con- cept from the textbook and can be done individually or as a team. Examples include: Designing a Candy Bar, Marketing Yourself, Pepsi vs. Coke Taste Test, and What Makes a Memorable TV Commercial? In addition, digital in-class activities have been added to selected chapters. These activities, located in the Instructor Resources, focus on the use of web resources and the marketing data they can provide students.
Interactive Web Page and Blog (www.kerinmarketing.com). Students can access recent articles about marketing and post comments for other students. The site also provides access to a Marketing: The Core Twitter feed!
Building Your Marketing Plan. The Building Your Marketing Plan guides at the end of each chapter are based on the format of the Marketing Plan presented in Appendix A. On the basis of self-study or as part of a course assignment, students can use the activities to organize interactions with businesses to build a marketing plan. Students and employers often suggest that a well-written plan in a student’s portfolio is an asset in today’s competitive job market.
ENGAGEMENT
vi
The popularity of Marketing: The Core in the United States and around the globe is the result, in part, of the leadership role of the authors in developing and presenting new marketing content and pedagogies. For example, Marketing: The Core was the first text to integrate ethics, technology, and interactive marketing. It was also the first text to develop custom-made videos to help illustrate marketing principles and practices and bring them to life for students as they read the text. The authors have also been leaders in developing new learning tools, such as a three-step learning process that includes learning objectives, learning reviews, and learning objectives reviews and new testing materials that are based on Bloom’s learning taxonomy. Other elements that show how Marketing: The Core is a leader in the discipline include:
Chapter 17: Using Social Media and Mobile Marketing to Connect with Consumers. Marketing: The Core features a dedicated chapter for social media and mobile marketing. This new environment is rapidly changing and constantly growing. The authors cover the building blocks of social media and mobile market- ing and provide thorough, relevant content and examples. The authors discuss major social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. They explain how managers and companies can use those outlets for marketing purposes. Chapter 17 also includes a section titled Social Media Marketing Programs and Customer Engagement that addresses criteria for selecting social media, how social media can produce sales, and methods of measuring a company’s suc- cess with social media and mobile marketing. This chapter is one of many ways Marketing: The Core is on the cutting edge of the field.
Applying Marketing Metrics. The Applying Marketing Metrics feature in the text delivers two of the newest elements of the business and marketing environment today—performance metrics and dashboards to visualize them. Some of the met- rics included in the text are: category development index (CDI), brand development index (BDI), load factor (a capacity management metric), price premium, sales per square foot, same-store sales growth, promotion-to-sales ratio, and cost per thou- sand (CPM) impressions. The feature is designed to allow readers to learn, practice, and apply marketing metrics.
Color-Coded Graphs and Tables. The use of color in the graphs and tables enhances their readability and adds a visual level of learning to the textbook for readers. In addition, these color highlights increase student comprehension by link- ing the text discussion to colored elements in the graphs and tables.
New Video Cases. Each chapter ends with a case that is supported by a video to illustrate the issues in the chapter. New cases such as IBM, Toyota, Justin’s, and Body Glove, and recent cases such as GoPro and Coppertone provide current and relevant examples that are familiar to students.
LEADERSHIP
vii
In today’s fast-paced and demanding educational environment, innovation is es- sential to effective learning. To maintain Marketing: The Core’s leadership position in the marketplace, the author team consistently creates innovative pedagogical tools that match contemporary students’ learning styles and interests. The authors keep their fingers on the pulse of technology to bring real innovation to their text and package. Innovations such as in-text links, a Twitter feed, hyperlinked Power- Point slides, and an online blog augment the McGraw-Hill Education online innova- tions such as Connect, LearnSmart, and SmartBook.
In-Text Links. You can see Internet links in magazine ads; on television program- ming; as part of catalogs, in-store displays, and product packaging; and throughout Marketing: The Core! These links bring the text to life with ads and videos about products and companies that are discussed in the text. These videos also keep the text even more current. While each link in the text has a caption, the links are up- dated to reflect new campaigns and market changes. In addition, the links allow readers to stream the video cases at the end of each chapter. You can simply click on the links in the digital book or use your smartphone or computer to follow the links.
Twitter Feed and Online Blog. Visit www.kerinmarketing.com to participate in Marketing: The Core’s online blog discussion and to see Twitter feed updates. You can also subscribe to the Twitter feed to receive the Marketing Question of the Day and respond with the #QotD hashtag.
Connect, LearnSmart, and SmartBook Integration. These McGraw-Hill Educa- tion products provide a comprehensive package of online resources to enable stu- dents to learn faster, study more efficiently, and increase knowledge retention. The products represent the gold standard in online, interactive, and adaptive learning tools and have received accolades from industry experts for their Library and Study Center elements, filtering and reporting functions, and immediate student feedback capabilities. In addition, the authors have developed book-specific interactive assignments, including (a) auto-graded applications based on the marketing plan exercises, and (b) activities based on the Applying Marketing Metrics boxes and marketing metrics presented in the text.
Innovative Test Bank. Containing more than 5,000 multiple-choice and essay questions, the Marketing: The Core Test Bank reflects more than two decades of innovations. The Test Bank also includes “visual test questions” in each chapter to reward students who made an effort to understand key graphs, tables, and images in the chapter.
