Book excerpt: "This is an innovative textbook that adds an exciting dimension to the teaching of marketing strategy by highlighting the effects of technology and globalisation on marketing practices." Len Tiu Wright, Department of Marketing, De Montford University Finally! A book that takes a European perspective. "Marketing Strategies: A Twenty-first Century Approach "examines marketing from different angles in order to create a broader understanding of the discipline. Blending theory and practice, Ashok Ranchhod takes a radical approach. There is little discussion of the 4 PAs because strategies are often company specific. Rather, the author brings together five of the main contemporary factors affecting marketing in the twenty-first century: sustainability, ethics, market orientation, the impact of technology and globalisation. "Marketing beyond the consumer! Recognition of stakeholders and the wider responsibilities of companies - an invaluable guide to marketing theory and techniques for the twenty-first century." Paul Reilly, Commercial Director, Philips, Central Europe Geared toward undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as practitioners, "Marketing Strategies: A Twenty-first Century Approach" offers both a philosophical and a practical approach to marketing and includes the following key features: Discussion of the changing nature of marketing and the impact of technology Analysis of the fragmentation of markets and new strategies for working within this new marketplace Insights into the stakeholder perspective Comprehensive look at how analysis and segmentation is practiced and some of the associated pitfalls Thearguments for sustainability and ethics are developed and practical ways of implementing these types of marketing strategies are explained Numerous examples of different strategies A range of cases that illustrate the arguments posed Global examples Emphasis of the holistic nature of marketing Highlights the need to understand cultural dynamics when implementing marketing strategies Consideration of how branding relationships are changing "A refreshing and critical review of marketing that challenges existing orthodoxies.
