Book SynopsisIn some parts of the world, especially in developing markets, category management today remains a stretch goal a new idea full of untapped potential. In other areas, the original eight-step process that emerged in the late 1980's forms the foundation of many companies' approach to category management. In still others, particularly in developed countries like the U.S., the U.K., and others, refinements are being made most of them designed to place consumer understanding front and center. New ideas are emerging from trip management to aisle management to customer management. Whether a new descriptor emerges to replace category management is yet to be seen.

The examples given throughout are typical day-to-day problems that arise within the marketing analytics field and could be easily translated into other fields as well. The book reads as though Mike is right there with you baring his brains and humour on a topic that needs both. Mike explains even the most complicated concepts in an easy to understand and logical manner with many examples." * Susan Martin, Senior Analyst and Big Data Guru *"Written from a practice viewpoint, Advanced Customer Analytics is an engaging and easy-to-read book that would interest students and practitioners attentive to research and, more specifically, retailing. The book is conceptually substantial and serves as a practical guide to understanding and applying retail analytics. A particular strength of the book is the application to relevant industry issues facing large retailers today (such as Wal-Mart, Sears, Macys, Kohls, etc.) as more and more companies are facing downsizing and restructuring pressures." * Dr Candice R.

The book is full of practical examples from retailing industry and more importantly he shows how the analysis is actually done. If you want to deepen your knowledge of customer focused analytics this is the book to read!" * Jari Salo (D.Sc.), Professor of Marketing (Digital Business and Marketing) at the Oulu Business School *"Mike has once again presented complex marketing concepts such that the newcomers to the field will appreciate the fundamental rationale economics plays in doing good market research. The reader is guided through the appropriate use of many popular statistical procedures to address basic marketing concerns.

At the very least, the reader will be treated to a very entertaining discussion of the making of marketing analytics. I highly recommend Advanced Customer Analytics." * Derek Glatz, Senior Pricing Analyst, Loewe-Adler International Inc. *"This book is an extremely useful resource which gives a wide overview on the targeting, segmenting and building, and measuring customer loyalty in retailing.

This book explains brilliantly how you can gain the love of Generation Y. A must-read for all Generation Y marketers and for brand marketers altogether, since Generation Y leads to all the other target groups as well." * Kevin Roberts, CEO, Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide *"Because generations shift and change constantly, books on the topic often gather dust.

Staying in sync with the times and with changing consumers is exactly what you need to drive growth and change for your brand." * Kurt Frenier, Vice President GM Global Marketing, PepsiCo Group *"Knowing the consumer is vital to any business looking for a meaningful, long-term engagement.

A must-read for every marketing professional who wants to get a better understanding of young adults." * Jean-Jacques Velkeniers, VP Marketing Europe & Business Unit President Europe West, AB InBev *"It is easily taken for granted that a hot brand stays cool forever.

This book helps in such an impactful way to stay in touch with Millennials and offers plenty of concrete examples to apply to your brand instantly." * Anneleen Waterloos, Global Head of Consumer & Business Intelligence, IKEA *"One of today's challenges is having too much access to too much information.

But this one was refreshing and informative, more observing and sharing a frame of thinking on the evolution of generations instead of an absolute theory on 'how to get after those young consumers'." * Gert Kerkstoel, Partner GIMV, Investor and former Global Business Director, Nike SB *"No challenge is more pressing for today's brands than successfully connecting with Generation Y.

Book SynopsisBringing together different theoretical perspectives on brand co-creation and discussing their practical applicability and ethical implications, this Research Handbook explores emerging notions of brand construction which view brands as co-created through collaborative efforts between multiple stakeholders.Trade Review‘Brand co-creation is an idea that has arrived and the compilation of insights and ideas from leading academics offers a welcome and stimulating perspective.’ -- David Aaker, author of Owning Game-Changing Subcategories‘The processual view on branding is strongly reinforced by this impressive collection of chapters on branding as co-creation – a splendid, international group of authors bring forth a plethora of perspectives that is bound to enrich future discussions and research on brands and branding.’ -- Søren Askegaard, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark‘I fully recommend this Research Handbook to anyone interested in branding and co-creation. The editors have assembled some of the finest thinkers from a diverse range of theoretical perspectives to explore how brand meaning is co-created between marketers, employees, customers, influencers, communities, and other stakeholders, across a range of industry and national contexts.’ -- Michael Beverland, University of Sussex Business School, UK‘Brands aren’t created any more. They’re co-created by a combination of contributing consumers, curating corporations, and a constellation of complementary collaborators. Chock-a-block with challenging ideas, this co-created book contains everything you need to know about brand co-creation.’ -- Stephen Brown, Ulster University, UK‘Creating brands in the boardroom without any collaborative input from customers and other key stakeholders is becoming increasingly passé. This Research Handbook provides an excellent collection of papers that represent the latest evidence-based thinking on brand co-creation, combined with best practice cases for brand co-creation’s successful implementation. No doubt, this is a must read for brand researchers and managers alike!’ -- George Christodoulides, American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates‘A really comprehensive Research Handbook providing an authoritative critical reflection and in-depth analysis on brand co-creation and its ethical implications. This topic is of great importance in the digital age where companies and customers are strongly connected and are part of a larger digital ecosystem.’ -- Margherita Pagani, SKEMA Business School, France‘The modern consumer increasingly feels a greater connection to the brand than that of just being the passive customer. This learned work on brand co-creation examines this phenomenon from multiple angles. I am pleased that the work investigates not just traditional f.m.c.g products as brands but also personalities and ideas as branded entities. In addition, all branding is not positive and the text takes us to the darker side of branding as a reminder that the study of brands is not unambiguous.’ -- Stuart Roper, University of Huddersfield, UK‘A timely addition to a growing research field that is shaping the future of consumption and brand practices. The Research Handbook on Brand Co-Creation will be equally valuable to scholars looking for a comprehensive starting point in a fragmented field, and to advanced scholars looking to deepen their understanding of current research trends in the co-creation literature. The Handbook critically discusses co-creation from complementary perspectives, from epistemological aspects to ethical ones.

Book SynopsisRural tourism marketing is a subject that remains significantly under-researched. Gunjan Saxena seeks to encourage a fuller understanding of rural tourism marketing by uncovering the lived experiences and enterprise of different actor groups as they respond to the impact of tourism on their communities and cultural identities. Marketing Rural Tourism presents actor narratives to reveal nuances inherent in their practices and perceptions as they develop, support or oppose tourism in their locality. By focusing on actors' experience and enterprise involved in the ongoing production, consumption and marketing of rural landscapes for tourism, this book enables an insight into varied storylines that underlie the processes of place making. Academics in the area of marketing and tourism as well as development studies will appreciate the contribution this book will make to the wider marketing discourse that circulates about rural destinations. The book will also be a valuable resource to undergraduate students looking to incorporate fresh conceptual insights into their projects, as well as postgraduate students looking to apply newer approaches to conceptualising tourism or place marketing.Trade Review'This unique, challenging and thoroughly refreshing book offers a welcome new perspective on the marketing of rural tourism. Drawing on research in sometimes novel contexts around the world, it explores the stories and experiences of those who co-create the rural tourism experience - local residents, tourism businesses and tourists themselves - to provide a richly informed foundation for understanding how rural places may be better promoted for tourism. A fascinating read.' --Richard Sharpley, University of Central Lancashire, UK'Saxena offers a refreshingly innovative and critical take on rural tourism and marketing. Her provision of a novel conceptual lens to interrogate (and reject) the formulaic approaches that typify so many marketing campaigns, alongside original qualitative data, combine to provide a thoroughly stimulating read.' --Rhodri Thomas, Leeds Beckett University, UK'At a time when rural areas continue to face enormous socio-economic and environmental pressures, as well as the vagaries of tourism, this consequential volume is a judicious contribution to tourism studies. It provides an exceptionally comprehensive assessment of rural tourism marketing from a multi-stakeholder perspective and is global in its reach and appeal. Kudos to Saxena for providing an empirically compelling and conceptually robust masterpiece that efficaciously incorporates theoretical discourse and practical management implications.' --Dallen J.

Book SynopsisNew Methods of Market Research and Analysis prepares readers for the new reality posed by big data and marketing analytics. While connecting to traditional research approaches such as surveys and focus groups, this book shows how new technologies and new analytical capabilities are rapidly changing the way marketers obtain and process their information. In particular, the prevalence of big data systems always monitoring key performance indicators, trends toward more research using observation or observation and communication together, new technologies such as mobile, apps, geo-locators, and others, as well as the deep analytics allowed by cheap data processing and storage are all covered and placed in context. Scott Erickson goes beyond the buzzwords to provide relevant explanations of the meaning and impact of both big data and analytics, placing them in context with traditional marketing research. His engaging subject matter focuses on the practical aspects of big data concepts, precisely defining and illustrating key concepts and providing illuminating real world examples. This approachable style enables marketers to understand what data scientists are doing with big data systems and analytics, giving them a taste of the capabilities of contemporary statistical software and its practical applications.This book can be used as a supplement to a traditional marketing research text or on its own. It will serve as a key reference for graduate students and advanced undergraduates in marketing research, marketing analytics, or business intelligence courses as well as marketing professionals looking to stay up to date with current trends and have them explained in a context they understand.Trade Review'This is a wonderfully well-written, highly readable, book that covers the rapidly changing and increasingly complex landscape of data-driven marketing in depth. The distance traveled from ''Mad Men-esque'' focus groups to sophisticated inferential analyses of vast data arrays is very well captured. Erickson's use of real-life, and very current, examples, to frame critical issues and explain key concepts and details is remarkable. The reader often feels as if he/she is virtual member of a marketing analytics workgroup working on problems for firms like Tesco, Bloomberg, Lego, LiveAnalytics, Amazon, and others.' --Charles R.

Book Synopsis'A must-read for any marketer, be it a curious researcher, entry level manager or senior leader. Chapters in this book offer the right amount of theory and practical implications on how to infuse customer centricity into an organization by making systematic changes to organizational design, strategy, offerings, and capabilities.' - Shrihari Sridhar, Texas A&M University, US 'This would be the first book to purchase if you want to get out of functional silos and build a truly customer-centric organization. This book illustrates that customer centricity is not confined with CRM or segmentation tactics, but rather it requires a major paradigm shift in every aspect of marketing strategy and business operations.' - Steve Samaha, Wells Fargo Bank, US 'The world's renowned scholars in marketing strategy offer very thorough coverage of customer centricity. Each chapter complements the others and shares applicable and deep knowledge regarding how firms should transform the entire organization, from cultures and human capital to structures, to better serve customers.' - Mark B. Houston, Texas Christian University, US 'This book is a comprehensive reference for scholars conducing customer-centricity research. Leading academics illustrate a theoretical framework and empirical insights on how to embrace customer centricity. Executives will find a treasure trove of actionable insights for their companies.' - Vikas Mittal, Rice University, US Drawing on the expertise of leading marketing scholars, this book provides managers and researchers with insights into the fundamentals of customer centricity and how firms can develop it. Customer centricity is not just about segmentation or short-term marketing tactics. Rather, it represents an organization-wide philosophy that focuses on the systematic and continuous alignment of the firm's internal architecture, strategy, capabilities, and offerings with external customers. This philosophy means that to be truly customer-centric, firms need to make multilevel transformations in internal architecture and organizational design, including leadership, metrics, incentives, structure, processes, and systems. These reorganizations are often accompanied by reshaped relational strategies, such as customer loyalty programs and marketing channel strategies that make customer centricity a reality. These changes also need to be backed by reconfigurations of brand and technological capabilities, as manifested in healthy customer-centric brands and in technology systems and skills that enable customer centricity at scale. The contributors to this book provide current thinking and cutting-edge research to further scholars' understanding of this key concept in marketing. Academics teaching or researching customer centricity, consultants implementing customer centricity and managers directly implementing customer centricity in their organizations will come to rely on the Handbook of Customer Centricity. Marketing associations, industry associations and local and university libraries will find the insights within offer critical reflection on the key features of customer centricity and the detailed roadmap to achieve it.Trade Review'Creating strategy from the outside in to put the customer first is a top priority of firms today. Helping firms do that is a pivotal goal of academics. This book lays a foundation for these goals by clearly defining the organizational structures, relationships, branding and technology needed. I highly recommend it-no other book comes close to its wisdom and direction.' --Valarie Zeithaml, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US'Being customer centric involves having the customer's best interests at heart. It represents one of the most significant reorientations happening in marketing today. This outstanding collection of essays about a powerful concept truly has the reader's best interests at heart. It is thought provoking while chock full of practical guidance. An absolute must read for anyone in the discipline.' --Gerald Zaltman, Olson Zaltman Associates, US'In this Handbook, Palmatier, Moorman, and Lee offer us nothing short of the latest and best thinking on one of the most critical and difficult challenges organizations face today-how to increase your odds of success by winning with customers.
