The landmark tenth edition of McGraw-Hill’s leading textbook, Principles and Practice of Marketing, continues to provide a contemporary introduction to marketing, covering all of the theoretical principles, frameworks and concepts that form the backbone of marketing education and looking at how they apply in modern business practice. 

Updated to include coverage of key trends and events that have reconfigured market landscapes and are transforming business opportunities since the previous edition - such as Brexit, Covid-19, climate change and digital advances in augmented reality and AI - this authoritative text explores the bilateral relationship between marketing and the way we live, communicate and trade. 

With a huge variety of case studies showing examples of innovation and best practice, students will develop their understanding of the wider context of marketing operations within companies, evaluate the opportunities and pitfalls of various marketing techniques, and learn how they can apply their knowledge and insights both tactically and strategically.

Stimulating examples enable discussion and provoke debate e.g., discover whether home working and electric vehicles are good for the planet; evaluate how digital customer insights are driving marketing but causing ethical challenges over data and privacy; consider how Gucci and L’Oreal have become leaders in the use of digital technology in luxury fashion and beauty industries and what these cases mean for the future of marketing.

Each gem has its own revealing story and digital credentials.  Pangaia is saving the planet with clothes and technology; DarkTrace is hiding in plain sight protecting its customers with cybersecurity; Alpro is delivering plant power on a large scale, and Tobii is watching consumer behaviour using attention computing. There are all new up-to-the-minute gems in each chapter.  

A new chapter 
Chapter 3 on Sustainable Marketing and Society focuses on how the environment and society are changing the marketing landscape, discusses the implications of sustainability for marketing theory and practice, and considers how to create value through practical sustainable approaches to marketing. Examples and features emphasise the growing importance of this area of study and bring into question many traditional marketing practices.
