The world for marketers has gone digital, consumers communicate readily with each other via social media, marketing has become more aligned to ethical, responsible and sustainability issues and marketing as an academic discipline has become more critical and reflective. All these developments are key themes in this new edition. This textbook is autopackaged with CourseMate.
