Marketing is today more a management style than a group of activities under a department head, and is absolutely central to the success of a company as a whole. This has informed the revisions to this fifth edition throughout. Most of the earlier content is retained in an updated form, but a new structure has been introduced and a section on implementation included for the first time. All aspects of the planning process are covered, from analysing market share and deciding marketing strategy, to specific elements of the marketing mix - campaign planning, media evaluation, sales promotion, publicity, packaging and PR. An especially valuable feature is the charts and forms, over 150 of them, which are used throughout to clearly illustrate the planning process.

Now in its 7th edition, Marketing Plans is a highly renowned international bestseller.

Above all it provides a practical, hands-on guide to implementing every single concept included in the text. "It is clearly and powerfully written and is probably the best book on the theory and practice of marketing planning ever written. It is a best-seller in Europe and I strongly recommend the book to anyone with an interest in marketing planning." —Warren J. Keegan, Professor of International Business and Marketing Director, Institute for Global Business Strategy, Pace University, New York "I am extremely impressed by the step lucidity of what is presented." —Dr D. H. Eaton, North Carolina University "A book reaching the quantities sold of Marketing Plans must be a book that is really used. It is not difficult to see why. Malcolm McDonald writes about what to do in marketing and how to do it. Unlike many academic marketing writers, he will never let you forget that marketing ends with –ing." —Kenneth Simmonds, Professor of Marketing and International Business, London Business School "Malcolm McDonald is clearly one of the most respected Professors of Marketing in Europe and the author of a number of outstanding books. The fact that Marketing Plans has been such a massive seller offers testimony of this. McDonald writes with clarity and insight that is becoming increasingly rare today. It is powerful, up to date and has proved that it works. I recommend it to you!" —John D. Ryans, Jr, Bridgestone Professor of International and Professor of International Marketing, Kent State University, Ohio

This book will introduce you to a wealth of information on emergency preparation, and will provide your family or organization with important strategies, insights, tips, guidelines, and lists on how to prepare for a disaster. Survival planning is nothing more than realizing a disaster could happen that would put everyone in a survival situation and, with that in mind, taking steps to increase your chances of survival. Although helping others is certainly meaningful, worthwhile, and in some cases, necessary, the main emphasis of all household or organization team members should be to purchase, gather, and store resources and supplies for your own team members. Everyone must be encouraged and expected to provide for themselves. We have been encouraged through religious, education, scientific, and government media to prepare for these future events.
