Book The Marketing   Accounting Interface

Download or read book The Marketing Accounting Interface written by Robin Roslender and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When marketing managers and financial managers join forces within any business, the result can often be poor communication on financial criteria and goals. The risk of this situation occurring is inevitably present when those with different professional backgrounds and roles are working in accordance with their own norms. In his seminal 1956 paper on general systems theory, the economist Kenneth Boulding referred to the phenomenon of "specialised ears and generalised deafness", which can be seen to exist when marketing managers are financially illiterate or when financial managers lack the necessary insights to design, implement and operate accounting systems which are useful to marketing managers in carrying out their roles. It is increasingly difficult to attach credence to the idea of marketing managers who lack financial skills, or financial managers who fail to relate to the context in which marketing managers operate. Understanding the marketing/accounting interface is therefore important in generating emergent properties from the interaction of marketers and accountants whereby the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The chapters in this volume seek to address this challenge. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Marketing Management.

Book Customer Profitability and Optimal CLV Based Strategies in a Model of Dynamic Competition

Download or read book Customer Profitability and Optimal CLV Based Strategies in a Model of Dynamic Competition written by Gerasimos Lianos and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the optimal customer-acquisition and customer-retention decisions of the representative firm in a dynamic competitive industry. We find that the optimal per-customer retention effort depends positively on customer profitability and is constant over time. The endogenous effective retention rate is higher for more profitable customers, so their proportion in the customer base increases over time. Larger market size and lower competition strength result in higher acquisition and retention expenditures at the firm level, but they do not change per-capita values. The retention effort that maximize a firm's value also maximize individual Customer Lifetime Value, whereas the equilibrium acquisition expenditure maximize the expected average customer value in the corresponding cohort.
