" "Newly appointed CEO B. J. Bigdome struggles in his attempt to develop a strategy for effectively marketing his products.

Through ten succinct chapters, the genie answers these ten fundamental questions:" "What is the essence of marketing? What's branding all about? What should be my product strategy? How do I get my pricing right? Are there limits to growth? What is good research? How do I evaluate advertising? How do I pick the right medium? How important are logos? What mistakes are made most often? " "This book answers all these questions by illuminating marketing's salient points with insight from Trout's years of experience. "--Jacket.
