About this title

About the Authors

After a long and distinguished career, Dr. Louis E. "Gene" Boone passed away just before the publication of the 13th Edition of CONTEMPORARY MARKETING. Over the years, students and colleagues at the University of Tulsa, the University of South Alabama and other schools in the U.S., Australia and Europe were fortunate to be influenced by Dr. Boone's insights. Many marketing instructors knew Dr. Boone through his prominent career and remember the numerous, significant contributions he made to business education. Dr. Boone served as a pioneer in the marketing discipline and was, arguably, the most creative business writer of his generation.

Dr. David L. Kurtz has taught at a number of major U.S. and foreign universities and has co-authored best-selling books with Dr. Louis E. Boone. Their publications have been translated into Chinese, French, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. Dr. Kurtz has lectured extensively throughout North America, Europe, Asia and Australia. He attended Davis & Elkins College in Elkins, West Virginia, before entering the graduate business school at the University of Arkansas, where he met Dr. Gene Boone. As longtime co-authors, Dr. Boone and Dr. Kurtz wrote more than 50 books. In addition to writing, the two served as partners in several entrepreneurial ventures. Today, Dr. Kurtz teaches at the University of Arkansas after duty tours in Ypsilanti, Michigan, Seattle and Melbourne, Australia. He is the proud grandfather of five and a sportsman with a golfing handicap too high to mention. Dr. Kurtz, his wife Diane and four demanding canine companions (Daisy, Lucy, Molly and Sally) live in Rogers, Arkansas. Dr. Kurtz holds a distinguished professorship at the Sam M. Walton College of Business in nearby Fayetteville, home of the Arkansas Razorbacks.
