Marketing textbook that forgets it is a Marketing textbook
Just in time inventory. Shipping containers. Yes, both of these supply chain topics garnered a paragraph or two in this book. Why? The same reason this textbook is twice as long as it should be. The authors took every opportunity to squeeze in unnecessary content, primarily in the form of examples. Every bullet point or item in a list doesn't need a real world example. You can just define the terms and not have readers skip each of the one or two sentence references. You're industry experts, no need to tell me Coca-Cola did it, or Walmart, or Apple, or Google, or Amazon, or Procter and Gamble. Yes, these companies were successful at various tactics, but using them as prime examples results in the reader saying, "well of course, they are a multi-billion company in a fiercely competitive age". Does the tactic still work though?

Not for small business marketers
The theory in this book outlines the “deep magic” of marketing theory as a global principal of total business process design. It speaks of abstractions about communication between stakeholders (including vendors and employees), as well as the (highly necessary) codification of a uniform message.But it won’t help you figure out how to do a better job competing on Instagram. It’s way too abstract than that - even if, yes, you’re “really, really smart.”Analogously, this is a book about music theory, not guitar or piano. It’s not even about rhythm (logistics), it’s about sound, and vibration.Go get a book like The One Page Marketing Plan. You’re welcome.

Not Well Written
It really isn’t well written or easy to follow or skim. Text books are typically assigned by a professor though - so good luck with this one!
