Marketing For Engineers Scientists And Technologists PDF Download

MARKETING FOR ENGINEERS, SCIENTISTS AND TECHNOLOGISTS Dr Tony Curtis covers everything that engineers need to know about marketing and project management. The book has been written in an easy to read style with clear learning outcomes and objectives. In my opinion this should be mandatory reading for all engineers who are involved in the design and marketing of products and services. Dr Naren Gupta, Senior Lecturer and Teaching Fellow, Director of Quality, School of Engineering and the Built Environment, Napier University In working with a range of professionals across many industry sectors one often finds it is the technologists and scientists that gain the most out of acquiring skills and knowledge in marketing. Not only does their structured and analytical approach lend itself to strategic marketing but those skills, combined with a clear customer focus and an innovative approach to the market, can give them the portfolio of skills required for successful leadership. Deirdre Makepeace, Senior Examiner, CIM To succeed, products and services must satisfy customers’ needs and wants. Engineers, scientists and technologists need to understand these needs to develop and deliver better products. This book covers consumer products, services, international and business to business marketing, as well as current issues such as green and social marketing and the service extended marketing mix. Tony Curtis also discusses the core management skills needed to implement marketing plans, such as leadership, negotiation and consultancy. Finally, he brings all these elements together into three key areas; new product development, market driven quality and marketing plans. Written by a technologist for technologists, this book is essential reading for engineers and scientists taking a module in business studies or marketing at all levels. It also provides a good foundation in marketing strategy for MBA students with a technical or scientific first degree.
