Rethinking Marketing

This groundbreaking book recognises and addresses the urgent need to develop a new understanding of marketing.  Based on the involvement of twenty thought leaders from Europe and the US, this book gives us both a state of the art picture of marketing today and a look ahead to the marketing challenges of tomorrow.

Since the publication of Kotler's Marketing Management in 1967, marketing has witnessed a dramatic increase in academic involvement.  Today there is an extensive range of publications available covering a variety of topics - from cognitive studies of consumer behaviour to organising international distribution - but the 4 Ps, based on the marketing mix model, remains as the dominant theoretical base.  Rethinking Marketing demonstrates a misfit between the existing theoretical toolbox and important development trends in the marketplace.
