Andrew Corcoran's Introduction to Marketing not only integrates fundamental marketing knowledge, but also conveys a strong emphasis on employability, enabling students to understand the link between classroom learning and its relevance to industry and career pathways. Equally significant is its focus on sustainability, which positions marketing as a discipline with both commercial and societal responsibilities, and its focus on digital technologies that have redefined what is possible in marketing - fostering innovation, efficiency, and deeper consumer relationships.
