- A wealth of examples and cases used throughout to make the subject relevant to the real world and bring it to life.
- Learning features are found throughout the text, such as questions, definitions, and summaries, which encourage students to reflect on what they've learnt and highlight the links between different areas of the subject.
- Suitable for a range of courses: advanced material is covered for more rigorous courses, but is easily identifiable and can be omitted without hindering understanding of basic concepts.
Features- A copy of the Keil hardware simulator for the 8051 microcontroller is included on the CD, so that readers can try out all of the examples in the book -
- All of the code is written entirely in C: no knowledge of assembly language is needed.
- Programmers with experience of C, C++ or Java on a desktop PC or workstation will therefore be able to get up and running very quickly.
- Key techniques required in all embedded systems are covered in detail, including the control of port pins and the reading of switches.
- The book covers the microcontroller serial interface, widely used for debugging embedded systems, as well as for system maintenance and for data acquisition applications.
- The book presents a complete embedded operating system which uses less than 1% of the available processor power in an 8-bit processor. All source code for the OS is provided in the book.
Features- NEW - Rural marketing memos in each chapter that provide tips and suggestions at all stages of marketing to rural customers, as well as directions in dealing with various marketing decisions
- NEW - A South Asian perspective through new cases from South Asian countries that discuss a variety of aspects, including the socioeconomic characteristics of urban and rural consumers, demographics, and sociocultural nuances
- NEW - Access to the cases of all the international versions of Marketing Management including USA, China, Middle East, Europe, Africa, Au
