Description MARKETING: THE CORE, 2/e by Kerin, Berkowitz, Hartley, and Rudelius continues the tradition of cutting-edge content and student-friendliness set by Marketing 8/e, but in a shorter, more accessible package. The Core distills Marketing's 22 chapters down to 18, leaving instructors just the content they need to cover the essentials of marketing in a single semester. Instructors using The Core also benefit from a full-sized supplements package. The Core is more than just a "baby Kerin"; it combines great writing style, currency, and supplements into the ideal package.
