Great.	Customer Rating:
This is a good beginners & advanced book. Takes you step by step from the beginning of marketing case write ups to more in depth cases and write ups. This book is great used for two semesters that build on each other.

Chapter two is most valuable!	Customer Rating:
Chapter two has a really good, in depth, review of basic marketing math.

Shippment	Customer Rating:
Book was in perfect condition with the exception of some small damage that occurred during shipping. The company packaged it well, I think the postoffice just used metal straps during shipping which damaged the book a little. But the company shipped it out immediately which is appreciated!

Strategic Marketing Problems... Not Solutions

Customer Rating:

I was disappointed. The book does contain some interesting thoughts, but 90% of the content is a description of companies facing marketing problems (case studies with a lot of facts). The author doesn't offer the solutions and best practises that would help solve these problems. While reading this book, i felt i was eating a burger without meat. Something is missing... This is a good book for teachers who want case studies for their students to work on. It's a classroom book. It's not a good book if you want want to read marketing theory and best practises (if you're already in the management world).
