Aroma Nitto

Ожидала практических фишек для увеличения продаж。 Оказалось, что это - больше результаты научных исследований。 Так что книга будет, скорее, интересна маркетологам, нежели неискушенным обывателям рынка

هشام القاسم

رغم اعتقادي بأنَّ هناك طرق أفضل للطرح، إلا أنَّ الكتاب به أفكار جديدة ويطرح منظورًا جديدًا للتسويق، ودسم بالأمثلة التفهيميَّة。

Bader Al-Abri

كتاب رائع جدا في تبسيط وشرح المفاهيم السلوكية وعلاقتها بالتسويق。 قد يكون من أفضل الكتب في هذا المجال من حيث التلخيص وإعطاء صورة واضحة وسريعة

Una muy buena introducción a la esencia del comportamiento del consumidor。

Mehul

An extremely thorough look at the latest evidence on behavioural psychology as it applies to why consumers buy what they buy。 The depth of the analysis almost seems wasted by applying it to furthering the cause of more effective advertising。

This book made me realise that all the marketing campaigns our company have done so far, were so raw and uninformed。 They were child's play in the face of behavioural economics。 We have been confusing liking with wanting, blind to the implicit goals, underestimating our autopilot system, and often lose sight of our goals in marketing or product development alike。More often than not, successful marketing is achieved intuitively, but not everyone has that intuition。 Without unraveling some part of This book made me realise that all the marketing campaigns our company have done so far, were so raw and uninformed。 They were child's play in the face of behavioural economics。 We have been confusing liking with wanting, blind to the implicit goals, underestimating our autopilot system, and often lose sight of our goals in marketing or product development alike。More often than not, successful marketing is achieved intuitively, but not everyone has that intuition。 Without unraveling some part of that intuition, we cannot easily justify it, or communicate it to relevant stakeholders。 So marketing planning and collaboration become unnecessarily lengthy and messy。 Rationalising intuition also helps with better replication of successful campaigns。 It gives us better sense of direction and common goal。"Decoded" opens a new world to all of us looking to learn "credible intuition" in marketing, and this book was published in 2013! I wonder how much research in behavioural economics have progressed since!I can't help but quote the famous psychiatrist (Carl Jung), "Until you make the unconscious conscious it will direct your life and you will call it fate。” 。。。more

Корисний гайд у світ маркетингу。 Книга буде цікава всім - і людям, які стикаються з маркетингом у роботі, і простим користувачам, які хочуть зрозуміти, як працює сучасна реклама。 Читати книгу легко і цікаво, автор приводить багато наглядних прикладів з історіями і ілюстраціями。

Verena Hagenbusch

Highly interesting book, which offers a science-based approach to marketing。 It can bebauen to clarify positionings and built strategies but also to defend necessities against non-believers。 Use it as an evidence-based framework and as base for decision making。

Слишком очевидные и простые вещи。

Decent but not a must read in this area。 Better books to read here。 Would prefer the references included as one reads, to get further info。Some of the examples are irrelevant or harmful。 For example, adding an example of men preferring a certain shape of woman ? How is this relevant to marketing ? That is early on in the book, and certainly put me off the author。 Concluding pages for each chapter are helpful。

Amazing。 I love this book

Nice little discovery in the little free library across from a fraternity house in town。 Thanks, guys, hope you did well in your marketing class!

Why people pay $5 for a water bottle?This is by far one of the best marketing books which deal with consumer's subconscious behaviour。 This book builds upon the theory given by Late Prof。 Clayton M。 Christensen in his book Competing Against Luck, in a more statistical way。 Prof。 Clayton provides a theoretical framework based on these decades of experience。 This book supports that theory by citing studies conducted in the field of neuroscience, psychology using advance technologies like fMRI。 Thi Why people pay $5 for a water bottle?This is by far one of the best marketing books which deal with consumer's subconscious behaviour。 This book builds upon the theory given by Late Prof。 Clayton M。 Christensen in his book Competing Against Luck, in a more statistical way。 Prof。 Clayton provides a theoretical framework based on these decades of experience。 This book supports that theory by citing studies conducted in the field of neuroscience, psychology using advance technologies like fMRI。 This book, although written from the perspective of marketing, is valuable when it comes innovating product and services。 It provides deep insights into why people buy what they buy, but it can be easily extended product innovation by understanding 'what they will buy based on why they will buy'。 To anyone who is into marketing, product innovation, entrepreneurship or simply customer understanding must read this book。 。。。more

An interesting read for anyone interested in the intersection between marketing and psychology。 It's (mostly) easy to follow with lots of examples and clear points。 A few times it did veer into the territory of being a bit too pleased with itself and become a bit lecture-like (like an advertising agency planner showing off how clever he was) and most of the case study examples did come from a fairly narrow field (FMCG, durables, cars) so maybe not great for every category。But overall, it made se An interesting read for anyone interested in the intersection between marketing and psychology。 It's (mostly) easy to follow with lots of examples and clear points。 A few times it did veer into the territory of being a bit too pleased with itself and become a bit lecture-like (like an advertising agency planner showing off how clever he was) and most of the case study examples did come from a fairly narrow field (FMCG, durables, cars) so maybe not great for every category。But overall, it made sense and definitely has some learnings you could take away and use in marketing。 。。。more

Фух! Дочитала。 Есть несколько любопытных инструментов, которые попробую применить на практике, например, карта целей。 Посмотрим, как это будет работать。

It`s ok for beginners in management field。 I`ve already read the main ideas and thoughts of the author。 That`s why I don`t enjoy this book。 Oh, and russian edition has an awful typesetting。 Maybe it`s a cause of my dislike too。 It`s ok for beginners in management field。 I`ve already read the main ideas and thoughts of the author。 That`s why I don`t enjoy this book。 Oh, and russian edition has an awful typesetting。 Maybe it`s a cause of my dislike too。 。。。more

A really good book if you are into cognitive psychology and are ready to see marketing in a completely different way。 Not every part of the book is equally convincing。 Especially towards the end, certain conclusions would require a lot more evidence to be believed。 That said, the book remains a great starting point to explore neuromarketing。Be sure to have read "Thinking, Fast and Slow" before starting Decoded。 A really good book if you are into cognitive psychology and are ready to see marketing in a completely different way。 Not every part of the book is equally convincing。 Especially towards the end, certain conclusions would require a lot more evidence to be believed。 That said, the book remains a great starting point to explore neuromarketing。Be sure to have read "Thinking, Fast and Slow" before starting Decoded。 。。。more

The book does a really good job at tying modern psychological concepts to branding and marketing。 I unfortunately felt it fell short and only focused on consumer items in a grocery store。

Одна из лучших книг по маркетингу。 Много практических вещей и кейсов, многое применил。 Правда некоторые вещи уже устаревают, не новая книга) Если кто-то знает подобные книги новые, буду очень благодарен)
