The 21st century business environment demands more analysis and rigor in marketing decision making. Increasingly, marketing decision making resembles design engineering-putting together concepts, data, analyses, and simulations to learn about the marketplace and to design effective marketing plans. While many view traditional marketing as art and some view it as science, the new marketing increasingly looks like engineering (that is, combining art and science to solve specific problems). Marketing Engineering is the systematic approach to harness data and knowledge to drive effective marketing decision making and implementation through a technology-enabled and model-supported decision process. (For more information on Excel-based models that support these concepts, visit DecisionPro.biz.) We have designed this book primarily for the business school student or marketing manager, who, with minimal background and technical training, must understand and employ the basic tools and models associated with Marketing Engineering. We offer an accessible overview of the most widely used marketing engineering concepts and tools and show how they drive the collection of the right data and information to perform the right analyses to make better marketing plans, better product designs, and better marketing decisions.

This textbook is written to be brief and straight to the point, because it is intended for entrepreneurs to use as a manual of marketing principles for battling business competitors as if they were fighting a marketing war. Entrepreneurs running private start-up companies in a marketing war might not get defeated until the small behave like the big or emulate the Giants. To the way the author thinks, marketing battles are not fought in physical places like the aisles of a physical store. Nor are they fought in the streets of a city like Pittsburgh, PA. Instead marketing battles are, according to this book's perspective, fought inside a customer's mind, which can be very tricky. Instructors and students alike should be able to find this book straightforward and concise with its explanation of the key marketing concepts and theories. This book can be used not only for teaching entrepreneurship/marketing majored undergraduate students the principle of marketing course, but for teaching related undergraduate courses like promotion management or retailing or sales management. Here, concepts and theories in marketing are referred to as principles, while the use of principles to address the specific subjects of retailing, marketing communications and sales leadership are referred to as applications in each of the book's ten chapters. A list of all concepts and theories discussed in the book is provided towards the end of the book. Exercises are available at the end of each chapter to facilitate experiential learning through marketing plan writing and role-play performance.
