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.

Thanks are due to many people, including current and past students, marketing educa- tors around the globe, university staff, business journal and periodical authors, company representatives, and marketing professionals of every kind. Their assistance has been essential in our efforts to continue to provide the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and integrated teaching and learning package available. We have been fortunate to have so many people be part of our team! In particular, however, we continue to benefit from the insights and guidance of our long-time friend, colleague, and coauthor, William Rudelius. His contributions to the textbook are truly timeless.

Nancy Harrower of Concordia University, St. Paul, led our efforts on the Instructor’s Man- ual, the PowerPoint slides, the In-Class Activities, and the new Digital In-Class Activities. In addition, she provides the content for our blog (kerinmarketing.com). Tia Quinlan- Wilder of the University of Denver was responsible for the Test Bank and Quizzes and the LearnSmart component of our interactive learning package. Erin Steffes of Towson University was responsible for the Connect application exercises and the new Marketing Analytics exercises. All of these professors are exceptional educators and we are very fortunate that they are part of our team.

Many businesspeople also provided substantial assistance by making available informa- tion that appears in the text, videos, and supplements—much of it for the first time in col- lege materials. Thanks are due to Ann Rubin, Teresa Yoo, and Kathleen Cremmins of IBM; Jana Hartline, Rommel Momen, Joanie Swearingen, and Amy Ulloa of Toyota; Justin Gold and Mike Guanella of Justin’s; Lisa Selk of CytoSport; Jeff Ettinger of Hormel; Russ Lesser, Billy Meistrell, Nick Meistrell, and Jenna Meistrell of Body Glove; Peter Maule of Marquee Brands; Daniel Jasper, Jill Renslow, and Sarah Schmidt of Mall of America; Mike Pohl of ACES Flight Simulation; Chris Klein, Jaime Cardenas, Casey Leppanen, Heather Peace, and Lori Nevares of LA Galaxy; Ian Wolfman and Jana Boone of meplusyou; David Ford and Don Rylander of Ford Consulting Group; Mark Rehborg of Tony’s Pizza; Vivian Callaway, Sandy Proctor, and Anna Stoesz of General Mills; David Windorski, Tom Barnidge, and Erica Schiebel of 3M; Nicholas Skally, Jeremy Stonier, and Joe Olivas of Prince Sports; Brian Niccol of Pizza Hut; Tom Cassady of JCPenney, Inc.; Charles Besio of the Sewell Automotive Group, Inc.; Lindsey Smith of GE Healthcare; Beverly Roberts of the U.S. Census Bureau; Sheryl Adkins-Green of Mary Kay, Inc.; Mattison Crowe of Seven Cycles, Inc.; Alisa Allen, Kirk Hodgdon, Patrick Hodgdon, and Nick Naumann of Altus Marketing and Business Development; and Nelson Ng from Dundas Data Visualization, Inc.

We also want to thank the following people who generously provided assistance with our Marketing: The Core, 8th edition In-Class Activities (ICAs) and associated PowerPoint presentations: Mitch Forster and Carla Silveira of Ghirardelli Chocolate Company; Karolyn Warfel and Betsy Boyer of Woodstream Corp.

Staff support from the Southern Methodist University and the University of Denver was essential. We gratefully acknowledge the help of Jeanne Milazzo and Gabriela Barcenas for their many contributions.

Checking countless details related to layout, graphics, and photos, and managing last- minute text changes is essential for a sound and accurate textbook. This also involves coordinating activities of authors, designers, editors, compositors, and production spe- cialists. Christine Vaughan, our lead content project manager, of McGraw-Hill Education’s production staff provided the necessary oversight and attention to detail while retaining an extraordinary level of professionalism, often under tight deadlines. We are very fortu- nate that Christine was part of our team. Thank you again!

Finally, we acknowledge the professional efforts of the McGraw-Hill Education staff. Com- pletion of our book and its many supplements required the attention and commitment of many editorial, production, marketing, and research personnel. Our McGraw-Hill team included Susan Gouijnstook, Meredith Fossel, Nicole Young, Kelly Pekelder, Danielle Clement, Susan Culbertson, Matt Diamond, Carrie Burger, and many others. In addition, we relied on David Tietz for constant attention regarding the photo elements of the text, and Claire Hunter for management of the details of the online authoring system. Handling the countless details of our text, supplement, and support technologies has become an incredibly complex challenge. We thank all these people for their efforts!
