This book aims to equip business students and marketing practitioners with a thorough understanding of sustainability issues. It uses contemporary cases and useful conceptualizations from recent research to provide a toolbox that help the reader understand how to deliver value to todays consumers, while considering the well-being of future generations. Marketing & Sustainability raises important questions concerning the impact of (over)consumption, production, distribution, and communication, all key marketing activities, on socio-environmental challenges in the world -- such as climate change and natural resource depletion. Servitization, dematerialization of consumption, the emergence of the circular economy paradigm, the platform-based sharing economy paradigm and the use of sharing schemes and platform-based exchanges of existing market goods are all dealt with in this book, which will make a lot of sense for students, marketers and other professionals who are aware of and striving for sustainable growth.

Why and How Sustainability Is Changing Current Marketing Practices

"How can marketing create value for consumers, firms, and society? What are the major societal trends that shape contemporary marketing? How and why has marketing become so influential that consumption now defines our entire culture? How can marketing practices contribute to shape society in a more positive way? These are examples of questions that are discussed and answered in this book. Unboxing Marketing problematizes and enriches marketing as it is taught in introductory courses. To do this, the authors use the metaphor of unboxing, which means to unwrap marketing like it was delivered in a closed box created by traditional marketing textbooks. The book builds on the latest scientific research to first unbox some of the major forces affecting society and marketing today, such as globalization, sustainabilization, and polarization. Then the unboxing moves on to how markets are made and remade, the role that value plays, and how contemporary consumer culture operates. Finally, the areas of marketing strategy, marketing research, and marketing in the digital era are unboxed."

Generation Y in Consumer and Labour Markets explores the role of people born in the late 1970s and 1980s as consumers and coworkers in an emerging post-modernist society. Having grown up in a branded society overcrowded with commercial messages and a never-ending supply of choices and opportunities, Generation Y not only influences consumption patterns, they also bring their values to work life, thus changing the attitudes towards the employee-employer relationship and how work is being done. Generation Y particularly see work as a venue of self-realization and the boundaries between work and leisure time are becoming blurred—thus the consumer and labor markets converge in some critical dimensions. This book delves into the substantial research body on characteristics and behaviors of the Generation Y, including their relation to other generations and the role of understanding generations in developing effective and attractive organizations. It further outlines the experiences and best practice for attracting, recruiting, selling to, and communicating with Generation Y, based on the author’s experiences from hundreds of organizations where he has been involved as a consultant – offering the reader a better understanding of generations in marketing research, and the impact of generations in employee-employer relations.

Die Bedeutung einer durchdachten und lebendigen Arbeitskultur steigt, ebenso die Schwierigkeit gute Talente zu finden und zu binden. Für die Personalarbeit ist der Eintritt der Generation Y eine Herausforderung. Welche Auswirkungen diese Mitarbeitergeneration auf Wirtschaft, Arbeitsleben und Talentmanagement hat, stellt dieses Buch praxisgerecht dar. Basierend auf internationalen Studien beleuchtet es direkt, warum die Generation Y als Arbeitnehmer anders ist, wie man die Besten rekrutiert und wie Unternehmenskultur, Kommunikation und Arbeitswelt sich dabei verändern. Die zweite Auflage wurde vollständig überarbeitet und um drei neue Kapitel erweitert zu Generationenstudien, zur Entstehung einer Branded Society und zum Thema "Die 90er Generation und die Zukunft". Wertvolle Checklisten und Handlungsempfehlungen ergänzen jedes Kapitel.
