A comprehensive text that integrates advanced, state-of-the-art techniques to provide graduate-level students and marketing professionals with an understanding of the techniques and an operating ability to design, test, and implement new products and services.

This text has been honored by being selected for both the Prentice-Hall International Series in Management and the Series in Marketing.  It has been adopted at a number of major universities.  In a 1988 survey it was identified as the most widely used new product textbook at the graduate level. 

The revision includes new material on designing for quality, reduced cycle times, prelaunch forecasting, quality improvement, defensive and competitive strategy, value mapping, the integration of marketing and engineering, new issues of organization, customer satisfaction, and new international examples.  It is available in Korean and is being translated into Japanese and Chinese.

This is an undergraduate textbook which presents the essential concepts but written for a non-technical audience.  It has been translated to Japanese and has sold well in Japan.

This mini-text and software package contains four tutorial exercises for marketing management concepts.  With this package students learn positioning, competitive strategy, new product development, and life cycle forecasting while using the personal computer to simulate marketing management problems.  A detailed instructor's manual and transparency masters are also available.  It is available in Japanese.

This mini-text and software package contains a comprehensive competitive simulation.  Students compete in six markets by making marketing and production decisions.  A detailed instructor's manual and administrative software is also available.  It is available in Japanese.

In 1990 and 1991, Prof. John D. C. Little and I redesigned the core curriculum in Marketing Management and taught the course to the entire Master's class. As structured the course builds upon the strengths of M.I.T. (international, strong disciplinary base, functional integration, and information technology) and combines case studies, problem assignments, and lectures in an eighteen-session course.

In the 1991-1992 I was part of a committee of six faculty members that redesigned the core curriculum at the Sloan School. I supervised the voice-of-the-customer analyses of students and recruiters and encouraged the committee to design a program that these customers would find exciting. The new core was implemented in the 1993-1994 academic year. Student satisfaction increased significantly.
