This book provides guidelines on what should constitute marketing in an engineering environment and how its various aspects can be tackled from a practical standpoint. It is particularly relevant to those aspiring to positions in general management and fills an important gap in the training of professional engineers.

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.

Several forces are transforming the structure and content of the marketing profession. Marketers are seeing increasingly faster changes in the marketplace and are barraged with an ever increasing amount of information. While many view traditional marketing as art and some view it as science, the new marketing increasingly looks like engineering. This textbook, combined with a comprehensive collection of 26 leading-edge software models provides the student with the know-how and tools to collect the right information and perform analysis to make better marketing plans, better product designs, and better decisions. Our purpose in writing this book is to help educate and train a new generation of marketing managers.

Professional services marketing is a relatively new form of marketing that has been recogonized only since the late 1980s. Most of the attempts to write about marketing for professional services have been a regurgitation of the traditional marketing approach that has evolved since the 1960s and have concentrated on minor differences and adjustments. In many ways, what is needed is a fresh approach which takes into account the complex political, social, economic, legislative and cultural backdrop and provides a way for design professionals, such as architects and engineers, to look to the future. This book does just that.

This third edition continues to give a clear analysis of what Services Marketing is all about. The book is reinforced with many illuminating case studies. What makes this new edition appealing to the readers are the reorganized chapters. Furthermore, new cases have been added and the existing cases have been updated to make the text as per the current scenario. The cases, set within the Indian context, lend a practical dimension to the subject, familiarizing the student with the developments in the Services Marketing area in India today. What is New to This Edition : • Updated cases and figures incorporated with current data The revised edition, with its emphasis on recent data and the contemporary Services Marketing scenario is an ideal companion for the budding managers. It should also be of great use to the practising managers attending various Management Development Programmes (MDPs) and Executive Development Programmes (EDPs).
