The Handbook of Contemporary Marketing

By Mo Willan

An essential guide to contemporary marketing that demonstrates, via case studies, the move towards marketing techniques that better reflect consumer needs.

Designed for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as those in executive education and general business, The Handbook of Contemporary Marketing covers a wide range of themes in contemporary marketing, including:

- Consumer behaviour;
- The latest marketing research;
- Services marketing;
- Brand management;
- Global marketing; and
- Ethics in marketing.

Each chapter includes case studies to illustrate and contextualize the themes covered, from companies as diverse as Amazon, McLaren, Unilever, UBS and Virgin Money.

Contemporary marketing is the term used to cover the move from more traditional marketing techniques to those that more reflect consumer needs. It refers to strategies that, when implemented, offer greater support for their client base, with a product range that varies depending on what the target market desires, rather than what the company wants them to have. The channels used to underpin these strategies are also radically different--for example, the increasing use of social media versus print advertising.

The Handbook of Contemporary Marketing moves away from the theory-based content widely available and instead focuses on a more practical and comprehensive approach, which the author has developed through more than 13 years of teaching at degree level.
