Who does Managing Marketing in the 21st Century / Capon’s Marketing Framework target?

Managing Marketing in the 21st Century (600 pages) targets graduate and senior undergraduate business students who will learn to practice marketing in their courses. Managing Marketing in the 21st Century is highly recommended for MBAs and EMBAs. Capon’s Marketing Framework (300 pages) might be more appropriate for some undergraduate courses.

What MM21C’s differential advantage?

Managing Marketing in the 21st Century:

  • Is built around six marketing imperatives (determine and recommend which markets to address / identify and target market segments / set strategic direction / design the marketing offer / secure support from other functions / monitor and control), four marketing principles (Principle of Selectivity and Concentration, Principle of Customer Value, Principle of Differential Advantage & Principle of Integration) and promotes marketing as a philosophy.
  • Differs from competitor books: MM21C has a chapter on linking success in delivering value to customers and improving shareholder value (exploring in depth the concept of customer lifetime value).
  • Has thorough chapters on Branding, Marketing Metrics, and Monitor & Control.
  • Draws on the experience of the authors (Who are the authors?) to illustrate marketing concepts with cutting-edge examples. (Each chapter has an opening case and many examples throughout the text to highlight key concepts)
  • Introduces several genuinely new ideas drawn from the authors’ research and writing
  • Helps students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills and thus the ability to address the rapid changes taking place in marketing.
  • The Virgin Marketer companion book gives the students the opportunity to practice marketing.
  • Has an unbeatable price! (How does the price compare with other textbooks?)
