Synopsis

Complementing Dibb and Simkin's established reputation in their field, this text presents a punchy overview of the leading 50 themes of marketing, each concisely summarized for revision purposes or quick-learning. While appealing primarily to students undertaking marketing exams, many practitioners will also find this 'glossary of current marketing' hard to resist. The title builds on the earlier works of Dibb and Simkin, whose Houghton Mifflin text, 'Marketing: Concepts and Strategies', is the current business school market leading text in the United Kingdom, while their Thomson Learning text, 'The Marketing Casebook: Cases and Concepts', has just been revised and is the most widely used marketing casebook. From understanding customers, branding and positioning, relationship marketing, social responsibility through to value-based marketing and one-to-one marketing, this book covers all the issues the modern marketer must address. The text itself is organized into short structured chapters, the Briefs, each including: * Core definitions * A bulleted key point overview * Thorough yet concise explanation of the concept and primary issues * Illustrative examples * A selection of examination style case, essay and applied questions * Recommended further reading and sources. Together these offer a rounded, concise and topical appreciation of each theme within a clear and accessible framework designed to aid revision. Also included are revision tips and 'golden rules' for tackling examinations, specimen examination papers with answer schemes, and a full glossary of key marketing terms.

Media Reviews
An overdue and much-needed aid to support students' learning and revision in marketing, which will be a highly effective contribution. Professor Nigel F Piercy Professor of Strategic Marketing Cranfield School of Management A long-awaited compilation of marketing topics for students, the work is very relevant and well presented, especially for revision purposes. The topics are well explained, with key concepts and issues being highlighted, and their concise nature means students can use the book as an 'aide-memoire' and reference text Dr Nittin Essoo Lecturer in Marketing Management Loughborough University Dibb and Simkin have done it again with Marketing Briefs . A marketing textbook that answers and satisfies what every reader demands- concise, in-depth, succinct and most importantly easy to read! A textbook that deservedly should be on the bookshelf of any person involved in marketing, whether they be academics, practioner or students. Andrew Lindridge UMIST This is an outstandingly useful book for both students and instructors. It is just the kind of book that I wished for as a student. It is not a textbook and yet much more than a revision aid. Instead, this book focuses on 50 key topics within marketing. The approach, though, is not about rote learning, it is about achieving an understanding of marketing. Here, definitions are followed by summaries and explanations, which offer real-life examples. To round off, there are examination style questions and answers. I feel that if you can understand and familiarise yourself with the contents of this book, I do not see how you could fail a marketing exam. From the key definitions of marketing incorporating concepts of mutually beneficial exchanges and customer satisfaction, to new issues likely to greatly influence the future of marketing such as one-to-one marketing , this books offers the coverage to encompass them all. It is doubtful that you could obtain more concise explanations or better working definitions than are to be found here. Besides, at the end of each of those fifty topics there are suggestions for further reading. This is a recommended buy for students and for all who teach marketing as this book could have a great impact on student understanding and thus examination performance. In producing this book the two authors have done a great service to all marketing students, to marketing education and to the marketing profession. Stanley J. Paliwoda Professor of International Marketing Head, Department of Commerce University of Birmingham
