This book was released on 2024-03-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine a small coffee shop in a quaint neighborhood, which, through the power of effective marketing, transforms into a global phenomenon. Picture a startup with a revolutionary idea, using just the right blend of marketing strategies to become a household name. These stories, and countless others, form the tapestry of marketing's rich and varied history, a tapestry this book aims to explore and elucidate. At the heart of our journey is the quest to understand the essence of marketing. We begin in the past, delving into the foundational theories crafted by pioneers of the trade. These theories, like the story of David Ogilvy who revolutionized advertising with his focus on direct, customer-centric messaging, lay the groundwork for all that marketing has become today. As we move through the chapters, we encounter the practices that have shaped the present landscape of marketing. We tell tales of companies like Nike, which harnessed the power of brand storytelling to build an empire, and of small businesses that leveraged social media marketing to compete with industry giants. These stories illuminate the practical applications of marketing theories, demonstrating their power and versatility. In addressing ethical and sustainable marketing, we recount narratives of brands like Patagonia, which has woven environmental responsibility into its marketing fabric, inspiring a generation of conscious consumers and marketers alike. These tales underscore the growing importance of ethics in marketing, highlighting the shift towards more responsible business practices. The digital revolution in marketing brings its own set of stories. We delve into the world of AI and VR, recounting how these technologies are creating new frontiers in customer engagement, much like how Spotify uses data analytics to personalize user experiences, redefining the music industry's marketing strategies. Data-driven marketing strategies are no less dramatic. We explore how Netflix's data analytics have not just shaped marketing campaigns but also content creation, turning viewer preferences into blockbuster hits. Our global perspective includes tales of cross-cultural marketing successes and faux pas, learning from brands that have skillfully navigated the complex tapestry of global markets, and from those who stumbled, offering invaluable lessons in the importance of cultural sensitivity. As we peer into the future, we share predictions and possibilities, like the potential impact of blockchain technology on marketing transparency and customer trust. These forward-looking perspectives prepare our readers for the exciting, uncharted territories of marketing yet to come. In crafting "Marketing: Theory, Practice, and Perspectives," the goal was not just to create a book but to weave a story – a story that captures the imagination, imparts wisdom, and inspires action. It is a story that invites you, the reader, to be a part of this incredible world of marketing, to learn from its past, engage with its present, and shape its future.
Download or read book International Perspectives of Marketing Theory written by Mark Tadajewski and published by SAGE Publications Limited. This book was released on 2013-12-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This four-volume major work brings together the key articles on marketing theory, with a distinctive focus on international developments in the field. In the past few years, the theoretical and conceptual basis of the discipline has been scrutinised and deepened via exposure to alternative ways of understanding marketing and consumer practice. This has occurred as a result of some truly exemplary research being conducted outside of marketing's traditional empirical context; the United States. This major work seeks to engage with this rather underexplored dimension of marketing theory, taking in literature which, for example, situates contemporary business marketing practices in a global context by comparing the systems in West Africa, Argentina, and the United States, while other contributions explore Chinese, Russian and West European practices. This comprehensive, global approach to the topic makes for an invaluable resource for scholars in the field worldwide. Volume One: Performing Marketing Volume Two: Managing Marketplace Relations Volume Three: The Boundaries of Marketing and Consumer Practice Volume Four: Transforming Marketing, Consumer and Society Dynamics
Download or read book Ethnic Marketing written by Guilherme D. Pires and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together with the development of transformative technologies that epitomize globalization, the ongoing movements of people across borders and other socio-economic pressures are creating a fast-changing business environment that is difficult for business to understand, let alone control. Dominant social expectations that immigrants should seek to adopt an assimilationist socialization path towards the host country’s mainstream are contradicted by minority ethnic group resilience. There is no evidence that these groups naturally disappear within the cultural and behavioural contexts of their adopted countries. Since ethnic minority consumers cannot be expected to assimilate, then they maintain some significant degree of unique ethnicity related consumer characteristics that convert into threats and opportunities for business. The inherent socialisation process also provides opportunities for ethnic entrepreneurship and for proliferation of ethnic minority business. Following from the extensive examination of scholarly perspectives of ethnic marketing theory, there is an acknowledged and marked divide between theoretical exhortations and what is done in practice, a relative oversight of the implications of mixed embedded markets, and a propinquity to overlook the crucial role played by ethnic entrepreneurship and ethnic networks. Opportunity valuations are difficult to enact due to a lack of intelligence about ethnic markets. Variable sentiment about the future of ethnic marketing links to different predictions on how the drivers of globalization will impact on the acculturation paths of ethnic minorities. Keeping a focus on the ethnic group as the unit of analysis, combining ethnic marketing and ethnic entrepreneurship theories provides intelligence about contemporary ethnic marketing and practice perspectives. The ultimate objective is to reduce the theory-practice divide through the development of a collaborative framework between business and scholars that converts into theory-in-use.

Book excerpt: With companies actively marketing products and services beyond their borders, marketers must understand culturally ingrained consumer behavior throughout the world. Focusing on psychological and social dimensions of these behaviors, this textbook brings together academic research and contemporary case studies from marketing practice.

The book uses representative, well-known corporate cases while also including dynamic examples from the sharing economy, blockchain, and emerging economy companies. Incorporating strategy, sociology, linguistics, cross-cultural communications, psychology, philosophy, religious studies, and economics, the book is particularly distinguished from the mainstream by introducing non-Western frameworks.

Download or read book Exotic Visions in Marketing Theory and Practice written by Alf H. Walle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-12-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An anthropologist, folklorist, and literary critic besides being a marketing professor, Alf H. Walle takes a refreshingly interdisciplinary look at the impact of modern social thought upon marketing and social research. Tracing key ideas back to their intellectual roots, Walle shows how the evolution of social theory, and the controversies it has engendered, can and should transform the way marketers approach consumers. He provides a theoretic underpinning for qualitative consumer research and presents a lucid theoretical and methodological overview for qualitative methods in marketing, research that parallels what others, such as Shelby Hunt, have provided for scientific methods in marketing. His book is a provocative, thoughtful, and probing study of qualitative social theory and its important contributions to marketing and consumer research. It is of value to both practitioners and academics. Arguing that the social structural methods have been largely ignored, Walle rehabilitates this general method and compares it to poststructural alternatives. Walle shows that to understand the evolution of modern social theory, one must come to grips with the work of three towering pioneers: Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Hegel, and Karl Marx, and that researchers must understand and appreciate the contributions and influence of pioneers in order to avoid the myopic vision of our own time. Praising Hegel's metaphor of cultures as living organisms and his forging of the concept we now call National Character, Walle points to Hegel as the pioneering social structuralist and as the man who, as a negative example, inspired the poststructuralists to action. Walle ends with a well reasoned analysis of poststructural thought in marketing-consumer research, and suggests that conflict theory--an alternative to poststructural methods that evolved from social structural roots--is often more appropriate than poststructural analysis in marketing and consumer research. Relating both conflict theory and poststructural analysis to the actual needs of marketing consumer researchers, Exotic Visions in Marketing Theory and Practice provides unique, practical insights for those who teach market research as well as practitioners who pursue it for a living.

Download or read book Marketing Performativity written by Katy Mason and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marketing Performativity: Theories, practices and devices addresses concerns about the theory-practice gap so often discussed by marketing scholars, and indeed reframes this ‘gap’ by asking ‘how is marketing theory performative?’ How does marketing theory shape action? Who uses it in practice and to what effects? The individual contributions in this book look at how marketing theories are used in practice and what this means for our understanding of the practicing–theorising landscape of marketing. The book begins by considering what performativity is and how this concept is used in the marketing literature. It then considers three themes concerning the performativity of marketing that emerge from the contributions, before presenting ten empirical studies that ask how, why, and to what effect marketing theories are used and ‘performed’ in marketing practice. The book also summarises the implications of three themes and sketches research areas for further developing our understanding of the performativity of marketing. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Marketing Management.
Download or read book Charity Marketing written by Fran Hyde and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-19 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charities operate within an increasingly challenging environment, with competition for public engagement, funding and volunteers intensifying. High-profile scandals have knocked public trust and the recent Covid-19 pandemic has illustrated how important it is for charities to provide support in times of need and fill the gap left by inadequate public sector provision. Across 12 chapters a diverse group of academics and deep-thinking practitioners present contrasting perspectives and the latest thinking on the challenges within the charity sector. The approach of the book contributes to the growing phenomenon of Theory + Practice in Marketing (TPM) presenting different perspectives and theoretical lenses to stimulate debate and future research. Charity Marketing provides a bridge between the practice of contemporary nonprofit organisations, charity marketing and recent academic insight into the charity sector. Using exemplar case studies of nonprofit and charity brands, this edited volume will be of direct interest to students, academics, marketing practitioners and researchers studying and working in charities, public and nonprofit management, and marketing.
Download or read book Relationship Marketing written by Francis Buttle and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1996-05-28 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `This book, written by a group of outstanding UK researchers, pinpoints the essence and scope of relationship marketing and vividly demonstrates its applicability in different industries. Relationship marketing is the marketing of the next millennium. Dont argue. Just read the book!' - Evert Gummesson, Stockholm University By examining the relationship between theory and practice, Relationship Marketing appears at an important stage in the development of relationship marketing. The opening chapter examines relationship marketing (RM) theory, reviews a number of RM definitions and reports on the economic arguments in favour of RM. It describes the nature and scope of marketing relationships, picking out characteristics such as concern for the welfare of customers, trust and commitment between partners, and the importance of customer service. Finally, it identifies a number of requirements for successful RM. The next 12 chapters describe, analyze and critique RM practice in a number of organizational settings (supply-chain relationships, principal-agent relationships, business-to-business relationships, intra-organizational relationships) and industries (hospitality, air travel, retail banking, corporate banking, credit cards, financial advisory services, advertising agencies, not-for-profit organizations). The final chapter reflects on the relationships between theory and practice.
Download or read book Environmental Marketing written by William Winston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Marketing: Strategies, Practice, Theory, and Research is a timely resource for the 1990s. It examines a broad range of issues that affect environmental behavior while providing materials and guidance to marketing decisionmakers. It will guide your organization toward a decidedly “green” marketing movement, toward marketing concepts and tools that not only serve your organization's objectives but preserve and protect the environment as well. Environmental Marketing clearly defines the potential roles of organizations, consumers, and governments and examines how these groups impact environmental factors through the marketing process. The book helps you understand alternative perspectives to green marketing issues and, in turn, enables you to make clearer, more conscious decisions toward improving your environmental marketing performance. This resourceful text begins by defining the concept of environmental or “green” marketing and how the idea of a healthy planet and successful marketing strategies can co-exist. It discusses the consumer's behavior toward environmental products and how marketers can effectively educate them, the guidelines involved in doing so, and the consequences of failing to do so. The marketer's position on environmental changes in industry is examined along with alternatives for striking a balance between marketing objectives and environmental concerns. Finally, the book discusses the global response to environmental marketing and where multi-national organizations belong within this balance. Environmental Marketing is a book for all managers involved in decisions impacting the environment. It is also of great interest to public policymakers and academics who wish for quick insight into environmental marketing issues.
Download or read book The Roots and Uses of Marketing Knowledge written by Terry Smith and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-01-20 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marketing theory is often developed in isolation not collaboration; theoretical perspectives sometimes are ignorant of the diversity of marketing practice. In “The roots and uses of marketing knowledge: a critical inquiry into the theory and practice of marketing”, the author engages with the vital conversation about how marketing knowledge is created, disseminated and consumed, looking beyond the traditional reification of practice in theory and verification of theory in practice. The ontology of this work is anchored in subjective individual meaning; the epistemological stance assumes that this meaning is socially constructed. Consequently, rich empirical data, grounded in the context of experiential evidence, is extracted from a comprehensive range of marketing constituencies: academics, practitioners, managers, consultants, authors, lecturers and students. In its examination of the polarities, hybridity and iterative flow of marketing knowledge creation and consumption, this text posits a cohesive argument for a theory/practice bipartite fusion not dichotomy, adding valuable insights into the textual, contextual and pedagogical representations of marketing knowledge. The history and future of marketing knowledge is examined with the aid of instructive illustrations and insightful first-hand experience. Drawing on extensive qualitative research from a broad range of influential producers and vital consumers, Dr. Smith presents a relevant, exciting marketing knowledge framework which will be a vital resource for academics, students and practitioners.
