For more than three decades, Philip Kotler has been the authority on marketing for business grad
students around the world. (His seven textbooks on various aspects of the topic are available in
18 languages in 58 countries, for example, while his seminal Marketing Management is considered
the most widely used volume among all MBAs.) Even with all these publications, and a consultation
/seminar practice aligned with firms such as AT&T,IBM, Michelin, Shell, and Merck, Kotler never
committed to paper his popular theories concerning the ways in which executives and their managers should approach their
real-life marketing programs. Until, that is, Kotler on Marketing. Comprehensive yet clear,
this new compendium finally synthesizes Kotler's vast experiences and proven ideas into a single
accessible resource. Three meaty initial sections address a series of strategic, tactical, and
administrative concerns, ranging from identifying opportunities and building brand equity to
utilizing outside intelligence and evaluating performance.A brief fourth part titled "
Transformational Marketing" offers Kotler's perspective on "the revolutionary impact on
the marketplace and marketing practice of the new technologies ... and new media"including
the Internet, fax machines, sales-automation software, cable TV, videoconferencing, and "
personal newspapers."

I am a Doctor with a very large practice in Colorado. My accounts receivable is just alarming.
Before I purchased Collect Your Money by Cody Flecker, I was owed in excess of 750,000 dollars.
In 4 months using this book, its letters and simple to understand advice, my staff collected over
350,000 dollars without the advice of an attorney or collection agency. In fact, I fired the agency.
Why pay them 25-50% of the outstandings when I can pay my own people to do the same. I recommend
this book to every medical practioner I come into contact with. Every small to medium size business
should have this book as well. I have recommended it to all of my business patients. If people or
businesses owe you money you should buy this book. I am glad that I did.
