This new major work on critical marketing studies adopts a multi-disciplinary and international approach to a subject which has flourished over the past few years. Bringing together papers from a wide range of academic outlets - from both inside and outside of the traditional resources of the marketing discipline - the experienced editorial team of Mark Tadajewski and Robert Cluley have provided an invaluable service to scholars who cannot themselves spend the considerable time it takes to familiarise themselves with the spectrum of scholarship in this domain. The four-volume collection speaks to important emerging trends in the field; specifically with regard to the connections between critical marketing, contemporary theories of emotional, aesthetic and sexual labour, critical social marketing, macromarketing and political economy. Volume One: Critical Marketing and Critiques of Marketing Volume Two: Conceptual and Ethical Critiques Volume Three: Power, Resistance and Marketplace Boundaries Volume Four: The Structuring of Marketing and Consumer Practice

Key Concepts in Critical Management Studies

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

International Perspectives of Marketing Theory

D.G. Brian Jones

The Routledge Companion to Marketing History is the first collection of readings that surveys the broader field of marketing history, including the key activities and practices in the marketing process. With contributors from leading international scholars working in marketing history, this companion provides nine country-specific histories of marketing practice as well as a broad analysis of the field, including: the histories of advertising, retailing, channels of distribution, product design and branding, pricing strategies, and consumption behavior. While other collections have provided an overview of the history of marketing thought, this is the first of its kind to do so from the perspective of companies, industries, and even whole economies. The Routledge Companion to Marketing History ranges across many countries and industries, engaging in substantive detail with marketing practices as they were performed in a variety of historical periods extending back to ancient times. It is not to be missed by any historian or student of business.

The Routledge Companion to Marketing History

Michael Saren

Barbara Stern

Bringing together the latest debates concerning the development of marketing theory, featuring original contributions from a selection of leading international authors, this collection aims to give greater conceptual cohesion to the field, by drawing together the many disparate perspectives and presenting them in one volume. The contributors are all leading international scholars, chosen to represent the intellectual diversity within marketing theory. Divided into six parts, the Handbook covers the historical development of marketing theory; its philosophical underpinnings; major theoretical debates; the impact of theory on representations of the consumer; the impact of theory on representations of the marketing organisation and contemporary issues in marketing theory.
