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 a mandatory reading for all engineers who are involved in the design and marketing of products and services.

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.

To succeed, products and services must satisfy customers’ needs and wants. Engineers, scientists and technologists need to understand these to develop and deliver better products.

Current issues in the marketing environment such as green and social marketing are discussed. Full cover is given to the implementation powerhouse of marketing and the service extended marketing mix. Management skills are needed to implement marketing plans, such as leadership, negotiation and consultancy and these topics are covered in section three. Section four brings all the 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, scientists and technologists taking a module of business studies or marketing at a ll levels. It also provides a good foundation of marketing strategy for MBA students with a technical or science first degree.
