References

This is a list of Internet Marketing references I trust will be of value to students of BAMA 513 and anyone else with an interest in Internet Marketing. For your convenience, I have sorted references into the following categories:

  • Articles
  • Books
  • Newsletters

The titles of required readings are noted in bold. I recommend the other references as supplementary reading and encourage you to read them when
you get the chance.

Note: Some of these references are to databases such as the Harvard Business Review (HBR) that charge a fee to access. If you are a UBC student, you can access this information at no charge, however, you may need a special password. (Available at the Lam Library.)

Articles

I have selected these links because I feel they provide answers to
many of the questions you will need answers to during the class.
