Contemporary Issues in Marketing and Consumer Behaviour

Contemporary Issues in Marketing and Consumer Behaviour Synopsis

This third edition of Contemporary Issues in Marketing and Consumer Behaviour has been revised and updated to reflect the fast-changing world we live in. The new state of the art chapter on digital marketing digs deeply into two new frontiers of marketing which have significant impact on contemporary social life: influencer marketing, and online gaming. Other new topics help us to understand how marketing can perpetuate local and global inequality through creating and sustaining hierarchies of knowledge and influencing norms of race, disability, gender and sexual orientation. Topics new to this edition include: Digital Markets and Marketing Hierarchies of Knowledge in Marketing Marketing Inequalities: Feminisms and intersectionalities The Ethics and Politics of Consumption New case studies include: Emerging Economy Brands The Fairtrade Brand Disappearing Influencers Decolonising the Media Written by four experts in the field, this popular text successfully links marketing theory with practice, locating marketing ideas and applications within wider global, social and economic contexts. It provides a complete and thought-provoking overview for postgraduate, MBA and advanced undergraduate modules in marketing and consumer behaviour and a useful resource for dissertation study at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Online resources include chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides.
