It will be of immeasurable help to marketing executives and higher level students of marketing needing an advanced understanding of the applied science of psychology and how it bears on consumers; on influencing; and on the effective marketing of organizations themselves, as well as of products and services.

Reviews for The Psychology of Marketing: Cross-Cultural Perspectives

'The Psychology of Marketing is a must read for advanced students of marketing as well as marketing professionals. Adopting the notion that 'there is nothing as valuable as good theory' the book provides a very comprehensive incisive overview of theories of psychology and their relevance to marketing and personnel management. Its currency is well illustrated by its treatment of recent developments in biological psychology and their applicability to marketing.' - Ram Baliga, John B. McKinnon Professor of Management, Wake Forest University, USA.
