"We have been using Marketing by Baines et al since the second edition. The text and the cases really bring the subject to life, providing good, global examples that students can relate to, covering not just organizations and products, but also the environment. An extremely valuable textbook that I fully recommend." - Robert Leonardi, Södertörn University

The text is well pitched and reflects the changing and evolving nature of marketing in a format that supports and engages the learner." - Dr Laura Bradley, Ulster University
