Book Place Marketing and Temporality

Download or read book Place Marketing and Temporality written by Gary Warnaby and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-26 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much city marketing and branding activity is future-oriented; aimed at achieving a forward-looking vision for places. The aim of this activity is to attract visitors, residents and/or inward investment, and focus on communicating attractive place attributes to create a differentiated spatial ‘product’ that will appeal to particular target audiences. In seeking to achieve this, place marketing campaigns have been criticized for emphasizing generic attributes, such as accessibility, infrastructure and a skilled workforce—which can serve to homogenize places which in reality are very different. However, a city’s distinctive character is a consequence of its history and development over time, and this book analyses the role of these temporal dimensions in place marketing and branding. The book analyses how the past—both material (i.e. the historic built environment) and intangible (i.e. routines, practices and the ‘character’ of the populace)—is appropriated, in order to ‘sell’ the city into the future. It acknowledges the inherent selectivity involved and discusses the factors influencing what is remembered from the past—and equally importantly, what is forgotten. Adopting a range of theoretical approaches to understanding temporality in this context, the book will appeal to advanced students, academic researchers and reflexive place branding practitioners by introducing a ‘temporal paradox’ incorporating both fixity (the material and immaterial elements of the city’s past) and fluidity (relating to the creation of the place product as a dynamic assemblage of individual elements and attributes aimed at particular target audiences).

Book Organizational Change and Temporality

Download or read book Organizational Change and Temporality written by Patrick Dawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizational Change and Temporality: Bending the Arrow of Time looks to address the important area of time and temporality, especially as it relates to frameworks and studies for explaining change processes in organizations. It commences with a selective history on the science and philosophy of time before examining the place of time in work and employment, and the presence and absence of theorized time in explanations of organizational change. The intention is to bring to the fore concepts and debates that have largely remained hidden, furthering our knowledge and understanding of time and temporality in changing organizations. The authors provide a more informed theoretical explanation of the temporal dimensions of organizational change. They examine the concepts and debates behind change theories, philosophical positions and scientific concerns on time and material existence, drawing connections that have previously remained unexplored. This book is key reading for researchers within the organizational change world and will further the academic debate of time and temporality in organizations studies.

Book The Routledge Handbook of Place

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Place written by Tim Edensor and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 850 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The handbook presents a compendium of the diverse and growing approaches to place from leading authors as well as less widely known scholars, providing a comprehensive yet cutting-edge overview of theories, concepts and creative engagements with place that resonate with contemporary concerns and debates. The volume moves away from purely western-based conceptions and discussions about place to include perspectives from across the world. It includes an introductory chapter, which outlines key definitions, draws out influential historical and contemporary approaches to the theorisation of place and sketches out the structure of the book, explaining the logic of the seven clearly themed sections. Each section begins with a short introductory essay that provides identifying key ideas and contextualises the essays that follow. The original and distinctive contributions from both new and leading authorities from across the discipline provide a wide, rich and comprehensive collection that chimes with current critical thinking in geography. The book captures the dynamism and multiplicity of current geographical thinking about place by including both state-of-the-art, in-depth, critical overviews of theoretical approaches to place and new explorations and cases that chart a framework for future research. It charts the multiple ways in which place might be conceived, situated and practised. This unique, comprehensive and rich collection will be an essential resource for undergraduate and graduate teaching, for experienced academics across a wide range of disciplines and for policymakers and place-marketers. It will provide an invaluable and up-to-date guide to current thinking across the range of disciplines, such as Geography, Sociology and Politics, and interdisciplinary fields such as Urban Studies, Environmental Studies and Planning.

Book Business Marketing  An Interaction and Network Perspective

Download or read book Business Marketing An Interaction and Network Perspective written by Kristian K. Möller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1995-11-30 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Changing Views of Business Marketing This book aims to provide an in-depth understanding of long-term busi in industrial markets. During the late 1980s our view ness relationships on business marketing changed remarkably. From a single-transaction oriented, market mechanism-based description of marketing and purchas ing, we are moving into domestic and international buyer-seller relation ships. In academic terms, we are experiencing a broadening of the para digms that describe how companies interact. This change in focus has its roots in the recognition that business marketing is frequently characterized by long-term interaction, coopera tion, and coalitions between participant firms. The forces of quality, total cost management, and the need to decrease response times in new prod uct/service development all are combining to accelerate the trend to wards strategic relationships. In increasingly global markets, different forms of strategic alliances provide ways of joining forces in attempts to reach goals beyond any single firm's resources. Also, our way of seeing the corporate environment is changing. In stead of the traditional view of markets or industries as constituted by independent companies operating mainly through market competition, we are starting to realize that markets can be more realistically defined and described as networks of interlinked organizations. The network view offers a highly promising tool for describing and analyzing the rapidly integrating global marketplace. For instance, strategic alliances can be seen as moves of establishing positions in a network or as ways of changing the whole network.

Book Creating Marketing Magic and Innovative Future Marketing Trends

Download or read book Creating Marketing Magic and Innovative Future Marketing Trends written by Maximilian Stieler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 1319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume includes the full proceedings from the 2016 Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) Annual Conference held in Orlando, Florida, entitled Creating Marketing Magic and Innovative Future Marketing Trends. The marketing environment continues to be dynamic. As a result, researchers need to adapt to the ever-changing scene. Several macro-level factors continue to play influential roles in changing consumer lifestyles and business practices. Key factors among these include the increasing use of technology and automation, while juxtaposed by nostalgia and “back to the roots” marketing trends. At the same time, though, as marketing scholars, we are able to access emerging technology with greater ease, to undertake more rigorous research practices. The papers presented in this volume aim to address these issues by providing the most current research from various areas of marketing research, such as consumer behavior, marketing strategy, marketing theory, services marketing, advertising, branding, and many more. Founded in 1971, the Academy of Marketing Science is an international organization dedicated to promoting timely explorations of phenomena related to the science of marketing in theory, research, and practice. Among its services to members and the community at large, the Academy offers conferences, congresses, and symposia that attract delegates from around the world.

Contributors are Eiman Ahmed Elwidaa, André van Graan, June Jordaan, Joongsub Kim, Tuuli Lähdesmäki, Assumpta Nnaggenda-Musana, Sanja Rodeš and Smaranda Spânu.

Book Individuals in B2B Marketing

Download or read book Individuals in B2B Marketing written by Maria Ivanova-Gongne and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-21 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The business world consists of interlinked entities, which require acting cooperatively in order to reach the desired aims. Individuals are at the core of business-to-business (B2B) marketing and are responsible for making decisions, negotiating, networking, branding, and all other of the firm’s vital processes. Especially in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the role of individuals is important, as those in charge of the SMEs are often the face and the mind of a company. However, the role of the individual in B2B marketing literature has often been overlooked. This book covers the gap by providing a variety of novel perspectives that involve individuals as central figures in the B2B marketing environment. This book will provide practical implications on the topics in focus, which will bring the role and importance of individuals to the fore in the understanding of how B2B marketing works. It introduces readers to the role of embedded individual managers in developing and changing business systems and networks and consists of three core sections: cognition (individual sensemaking within a business environment), action (decision-making in business networks), and finally, contextualization (interrelation between micro- and macro-levels). Each section is supported with case studies to exemplify the research ideas presented. Individuals in B2B Marketing offers a comprehensive investigation into this much overlooked topic and will be a valuable resource for marketing, entrepreneurship, and international business scholars and graduate students in particular.

Book Business and Post disaster Management

Download or read book Business and Post disaster Management written by C. Michael Hall and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive examination of the effects of a natural disaster on businesses and organisations, and on a range of stakeholders, including employees and consumers. Research on how communities and businesses respond to disasters can inform policy and mitigate the cost and impacts of future disasters. This book discusses how places recover following a disaster and the vital roles that business and other organisations play. This volume gives a detailed understanding of business, organisational and consumer responses to the Christchurch earthquake sequence of 2010-2011, which caused 185 deaths, the loss of over 70 per cent of buildings in the city’s CBD, major infrastructure damage, and severely affected the city’s image. Despite the devastation, the businesses, organisations and people of Christchurch are now undergoing significant recovery. The book sheds significant new light not only on business and organisation response to disaster but on how business and urban systems may be made more resilient.

Book Rituals and Routines

Download or read book Rituals and Routines written by Julie Tinson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-12-09 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contemporary book offers current perspectives on routines and rituals to extend an understanding of the scope of these concepts, with a view to challenging conventional wisdom and to offer insight for practitioners. Routines and rituals are part of everyday being. Routines can be useful for individuals in structuring ‘messiness’ in their lives, while rituals are often more spectacular in nature and typically involve a collective event. Routines and rituals can be traditional, established, new or reinvented, as well as personal, social, and/or emotional. Traditionally, rituals have been characterised by formality, customs, regularity and procedure; conversely, routines (public or private) have been considered less important in their significance and meaning. Employing several research methods (literature review, ethnography, netnography, autoethnography and in-depth interviews) and examining a variety of contexts (ranging from hen parties, clothing to collegiate tailgating and the Covid pandemic), this edited volume reveals typologies and tactics for strategic practitioner use and policy makers, as well as identifying avenues for further research. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Marketing Management.
