Overview
Iacobucci’s "Marketing Management," 7th Edition, is tailored for upper-level undergraduate, MBA and EMBA students with its approach to marketing management, combining foundational theory with real-world application. Chapters are organized around three guiding questions: What is it? Why do marketers do it? How do you do it well?, helping students understand the concepts and how to apply them. Complex topics are simplified without oversimplifying, offering a structure that adapts to various teaching formats. Content reflects the evolving marketing landscape, including the role of AI, marketing analytics, global perspectives, social media strategies, behavioral nudges and ethical considerations through Have a Heart boxes. To Do Better Marketing principles reinforce best practices. This edition is a modern and engaging solution for teaching marketing in a fast-paced, data-driven environment.
- Applied Learning Through Real-World Examples and Cases: The 7th edition is refreshed with vivid, up-to-date examples, and nearly all cases are brand new, designed to reflect today’s marketing realities and spark deeper classroom engagement.
- Each chapter include Box Feature examples that bring today’s marketing landscape into the classroom, covering high-impact topics like AI, ethics, marketing analytics, social media and more. These focused insights help students connect course concepts to the fast-changing and competitive marketing environment.
- Each chapter begins with a set of thought-provoking study questions that immediately engage students in critical thinking. These questions -- What is this marketing concept? Why is it important? How do we do it well? -- are intentionally designed to frame the chapter’s content through a managerial lens. This structure not only clarifies learning objectives, but also encourages students to approach marketing as a decision-making discipline, preparing them to think strategically from the very first page.
- New examples include global marketing challenges, email marketing, behavioral economics, psychological nudges and many new advertisements.
