The Dominant Influence of Marketing in the 21st Century
Philip J. Kitchen Β· 2013
60/100
π Skip It
This 2013 Palgrave edited volume raises genuinely provocative questions about marketing's Leviathan-like grip on society, and the scholarship is real. But a dozen years of digital transformation have dated the digital-marketing chapters significantly, and dense multi-author academic prose makes this a hard read for anyone outside graduate marketing or critical theory circles.
β¦ Penny’s Take β this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read β not a page-by-page personal one. The gold β Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
