Why Instructors Choose NewShoes with Principles of Marketing

Instructors need ways to help students move beyond memorization of principles and practical, applicable knowledge. This pairing helps them with that goal.

  • eReader and Sim Work Together
    Students discover core marketing frameworks in the text such as segmentation, targeting, positioning, pricing, promotion, and channels and can then apply them inside the NewShoes simulation.
  • Designed for Principles/Intro Level Courses
    Both the textbook and the simulation are built specifically for introductory marketing students, with no assumption of advanced analytics or prior business experience.
  • Clear, Modern Content
    The latest edition of Principles of Marketing provides an accessible foundation that complements the applied, decision-focused nature of the simulation.
  • Flexible Course Delivery
    This pairing works well in face-to-face, hybrid, and online courses and can be adapted to different pacing and teaching styles.

Easy-to-Use Instructor Integration Guide

To make this pairing easy to adopt and run, Interpretive and Flatworld have collaborated on a dedicated Instructor Integration Guide that aligns the NewShoes simulation directly with Principles of Marketing.
The guide includes:

  • Chapter-by-chapter alignment between the textbook and NewShoes decisions
  • Suggested simulation assignments and discussion questions
  • A sample 13-week course schedule
  • An assessment rubric for evaluating student discussion responses

This resource is designed to reduce prep time, support instructional confidence, and help instructors clearly connect theory from the text to decisions students make in the simulation.

Support You Can Count On

When you adopt NewShoes, instructors receive:

  • Personalized onboarding and course setup support
  • Comprehensive instructor manuals and ready-to-use assignments
  • Responsive help throughout the term
  • A team that understands how marketing is taught and learned

Our goal is to make sure both you and your students feel confident from the first week of class to the last.
