Think Marketing makes learning and teaching marketing more effective, easier, and more enjoyable than ever. Its streamlined approach strikes a careful balance between depth of coverage and ease of learning.

Hallmark features of this title

  • Learning Objectives. Each learning objective (LO) is tied to chapter content, helping students make connections between examples and key concepts easily.
  • Think Marketing Boxes. Each chapter contains two highlight features that provide an in-depth look at the real marketing practices of large and small companies.
  • Experience Marketing. To experience marketing, students must assess situations and make recommendations to change marketing strategies when necessary. The Experience Marketing section in the end-of-chapter content challenges students to consider the details of a given situation, and asks what they would do to resolve it. 
  • Chapter-Opening Content. The new, more active and integrative opening spread in each chapter features Learning Objectives and an opening vignette—an engaging, deeply developed, illustrated, and annotated marketing story that introduces the chapter material and sparks student interest.

New and updated features of this title

  • As the world shifts to a greater reliance on digital media, it is appropriate that this text evolves as well. This third edition is the first fully digital version of THINK Marketing. Instructors and students will find that, although the medium has changed, the content is fully consistent with prior editions.
  • Effective marketing involves developing strategies that are in tune with rapidly changing market conditions. Therefore, key topics such as ethics, corporate social responsibility, sustainability, multiculturalism, shifting demographics, customer relationship management, social media communications, and advancing technologies are themes woven throughout the book. An effort has been made to include brand and corporate examples of small and medium enterprises from across the country, in addition to examples of successful Canadian-owned global companies. 
  • Overall Presentation of Chapters. Some chapters have moved forward in the book in response to the requirements of the typical introductory marketing course. Strategic Marketing Planning is now Chapter 3 (formerly Chapter 7). Services and Not-for-Profit Marketing is now Chapter 10 (formerly Chapter 16). Coverage of services and not-for-profit organization marketing is now included with traditional elements of product planning. Reviewers also requested a more concise presentation of price strategy and management. Price content is now presented on one chapter (Chapter 11) and has been retitled Pricing Decisions: Objectives, Strategies and Tactics, to reflect the changes in content. Finally, all chapters include new chapter opening stories that set the stage for the content presented in each chapter.
