Este libro proporciona conceptos y estrategias para tomar decisiones efectivas en materia de producto, precio, distribución y comunicación que tienen en cuenta cómo es la conducta y reacciones reales que se han observado en los consumidores atendiendo a su edad, género y nivel socioeconómico. Es un libro fundamentalmente práctico, que aporta soluciones. Está escrito pensando en la gestión de la mayoría de las organizaciones, que son medianas y pequeñas, y que toman, con frecuencia decisiones aparentemente sencillas; decidir cómo se llamará una marca, el color de un envase nuevo o su tamaño, la modificación del precio, la decoración de sus puntos de venta, eslogan de sus anuncios o qué argumentos van a utilizar para dirigirse al mercado en campañas publicitarias, incluso de pequeña escala.

Mrketing reversed prior business logic 50 years ago and said «the customer is king», and the companies began to recognize that it was not just the product that was the most important aspect of their business. Companies recognized that consumers had a myriad of choices of product offerings and marketing was responsible to ensure that the company’s products had the benefits and attributes that customers wanted and were willing to pay for. Today, considering the technology development, which influences every function of the company, the focus of the successful marketing oriented companies has changed from «the customer is king» to «the customer is a dictator!!!». However, and despite the new trends in marketing, like any social science, marketing has basic principles, and these principles need to be considered when making any type of marketing decisions. So, the major step of a student of marketing, whether it is a young university student or an experienced business executive, is to understand the principles of marketing, and reading the present book will be the first step in accomplishing this task. This book describes these basic principles of marketing, and while the authors recognize that each decision may be slightly different from any previous decision, the rules or principles remain the same. The present book presents these basic marketing principles and tries to capture the essence of practical and modern marketing today. Therefore, the purpose of Principles of Marketing is to introduce readers to the fascinating world of marketing today, in an easy, enjoyable and practical way, offering an attractive text from which to learn about and teach marketing.

This book addresses two significant research areas in an interdependent fashion. It is first of all a comprehensive but concise text that covers the recently developed and widely applicable methods of qualitative choice analysis, illustrating the general theory through simulation models of automobile demand and use. It is also a detailed study of automobile demand and use, presenting forecasts based on these powerful new techniques. The book develops the general principles that underlie qualitative choice models that are now being applied in numerous fields in addition to transportation, such as housing, labor, energy, communications, and criminology. The general form, derivation, and estimation of qualitative choice models are explained, and the major models - logit, probit, and GEV - are discussed in detail. And continuous/discrete models are introduced. In these, qualitative choice methods and standard regression techniques are combined to analyze situations that neither alone can accurately forecast. Summarizing previous research on auto demand, the book shows how qualitative choice methods can be used by applying them to specific auto-related decisions as the aggregate of individuals' choices. The simulation model that is constructed is a significant improvement over older models, and should prove more useful to agencies and organizations requiring accurate forecasting of auto demand and use for planning and policy development. The book concludes with an actual case study based on a model designed for the investigations of the California Energy Commission. Kenneth Train is Visiting Associate Professor in Economics at the University of California, Berkeley, and Director of Economic Research at Cambridge Systematics, Inc., also in Berkeley. Qualitative Choice Analysisis included in The MIT Press Transportation Studies Series, edited by Marvin L. Manheim.

En la actualidad no se concibe adquirir conocimientos de marketing sin que paralelamente se estudie el comportamiento del consumidor. Son las dos caras de una misma moneda. El marketing proporciona conceptos e instrumentos para la gestión, y el comportamiento del consumidor enseña cómo perciben, sienten y actúan las personas destinatarias de los bienes y servicios que producen las organizaciones. Los conceptos de marketing son insuficientes para actuar con éxito en el mercado si no se sabe cómo son y se comportan las personas. Este libro responde en estructura y contenido a los manuales más avanzados de comportamiento del consumidor, generalmente de procedencia norteamericana, con la diferencia de que en su redacción se ha puesto especial énfasis en nuestra cultura y en la forma que tenemos de explicar y entendernos. La línea argumental se basa en la formulación de conceptos, planteamiento de preguntas, discusión de soluciones, incorporación de aportaciones de otros autores, datos y estadísticas nacionales, todo ello de forma lógica, rigurosa y ordenada. También se incluyen numerosas ilustraciones relacionadas con el texto, para conseguir un mejor entendimiento y recuerdo de los conceptos que el lector aprenderá. El lenguaje empleado para escribir este libro es sencillo, sin tecnicismos innecesarios. Sin embargo, posee numerosos conceptos, que si bien pueden resultar inicialmente complejos, la forma en que se exponen y comentan los hace perfectamente asequibles a cualquier lector. Este lector puede ser un estudiante de grado o postgrado que entra por vez primera en contacto con el apasionante mundo del comportamiento de los consumidores. También los profesionales de la gestión encontrarán en sus páginas numerosas estrategias que contribuirán al éxito de sus negocios. El libro se acompaña de las presentaciones en Microsoft PowerPoint de todos los capítulos. En ellas se resumen los conceptos clave de cada uno de los temas tratados, así como todas las ilustraciones que figuran en el texto impreso. De esta manera se proporciona al lector un recurso adicional para la lectura del libro y al docente un material didáctico de indudable utilidad para sus presentaciones académicas ante su audiencia.

In December 2012, Australia became the first nation in the world to require all tobacco products to be sold in standard ‘plain’ packs under the leadership of the then Health Minister Nicola Roxon. Tobacco companies have had global apoplexy about the law. Humiliated in the Australian High Court with a six-one defeat, their hopes now rest with deterring other nations from following suit by pursuing international trade law action. With a combined 50 years of research and advocacy experience in tobacco control, Simon Chapman and Becky Freeman set out the evidence for the importance of plain packaging in striking at the heart of what remains of tobacco advertising. They examine the history of the idea, the tobacco industry’s frantic efforts to derail it, and the early evidence for its impact. Most importantly, they give tools to policy makers in other countries wanting to make the best case for plain packaging and to defend it from the inevitable attacks that will follow.

Humans are extraordinary creatures, with the unique ability among animals to imitate and so copy from one another ideas, habits, skills, behaviours, inventions, songs, and stories. These are all memes, a term first coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976 in his book The Selfish Gene. Memes, like genes, are replicators, and this enthralling book is an investigation of whether this link between genes and memes can lead to important discoveries about the nature of the inner self. Confronting the deepest questions about our inner selves, with all our emotions, memories, beliefs, and decisions, Susan Blackmore makes a compelling case for the theory that the inner self is merely an illusion created by the memes for the sake of replication.
