Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
In Blackadder, Baldrick's "cunning plan" usually turned out be neither particularly cunning nor indeed planned. In marketing you can't get away with either as effective marketing planning lies at the centre of most companies' "make a buck" schemes.

Malcolm McDonald's book is the bible for anyone charged with the responsibility of preparing and implement a marketing plan. From the organisational issues, timescale and techniques the-"who, when and how"--to the projected outcomes--every part of the "five-year" marketing scheme is examined. In this fourth edition Malcolm McDonald has addressed "new" issues such as key account handling and electronic marketing using the Internet. He has also added a step-by-step marketing planning chapter, what he calls his "fast-track" approach, invaluable if you need to learn the basics in a hurry. The book is very well put together and gets top marks for clear English. There are lots of diagrams, models, case studies and exercises that help you "diagnose" the state of health of your company's current marketing approach. Chapters begin with a summary and end with a review, so all the choicest bits of information are easily digestible. Marketing Plans follows a logical approach and takes the student through a sequence of activities, giving a clear set of objectives and the means to achieve them. --Kristen Bowditch --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice isn't the word, excellent doesn't really describe it..., 17 May 2001
By A Customer
AWESOME, now that's more like it!

I read this book, and it took me quite a long time to get through it. Not that it's hard to read, but because this books handles about topics that we marketeers come across every day. So we can put this book to the test.

It's a perfect guideline for those amongst us that need to keep a broad vision on the what's marketing all about, and how we need to work to get to a "perfect" (impossible) marketingplan.

Impossible? Maybe not anymore - ??? This is something you need to check out for yourself.

I recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The bible of marketing planning, 4 Jan 2009
By D. Bourke (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is the ultimate if you are serious about creating truely strategic marketing plans for your business. It basically gives you all the fundamentals required and takes it so much further, any company big or small can benefit from the knowledge in this book. It has been updated well and questions some of the traditional theories, i.e. features an updated SWOT.

Also, if you read the intro it gives you a bit of a guide on how best to use it, so if you just need to get a breif overview of how to structure a plan you can pick the best chapter/s to read, if you want to go more in depth you can dip in and out of it.

All in all, this is an essential text for marketers, don't bother with Kottler he hasn't done anything good in 15 years.
