Course Textbook

For this course Professor Bassell is using Principles of Marketing by University of Minnesota. This textbook is free and open access.

“Principles of Marketing teaches the experience and process of actually doing marketing – not just the vocabulary. It carries five dominant themes throughout in order to expose students to marketing in today’s environment: Service dominant logic, sustainability, ethics and social responsibility, global coverage, and metrics.”
