Synopsis

Marketing is among the most powerful cultural forces at work in the contemporary world, affecting not merely consumer behaviour, but almost every aspect of human behaviour. While the potential for marketing both to promote and threaten societal well-being has been a perennial focus of inquiry, the current global intellectual and political climate has lent this topic extra gravitas.

Through original research and scholarship from the influential Mendoza School of Business, this book looks at marketing's ramifications far beyond simple economic exchange. It addresses four major topic areas: societal aspects of marketing and consumption; the social and ethical thought; sustainability; and public policy issues, in order to explore the wider relationship of marketing within the ethical and moral economy and its implications for the common good.

By bringing together the wide-ranging and interdisciplinary contributions, it provides a uniquely comprehensive and challenging exploration of some of the most pressing themes for business and society today.

Media Reviews

This thought-provoking, interdisciplinary collection of essays primarily by Notre Dame faculty explores marketing through an ethical lens. The book addresses four major topic areas: societal aspects of marketing and consumption; social and ethical thought; sustainability; and public policy issues. Specifically, the essays center on how marketing affects society, and they are broken down into separate parts that cover the societal aspects of marketing and consumption, Catholic social thought issues in marketing, and sustainability, public policy, and ethical issues in marketing. While each article is a separate piece of research by individual faculty members, collectively the essays spotlight pressing issues of marketing that should not be ignored, but rather highlighted by marketing educators. By exploring the wider relationship of marketing within the ethical and moral economy and its implications for the common good, the essays would be appropriate as supplemental readings for both upper-level marketing undergraduates and graduate students. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. --N. E. Furlow, Marymount University, CHOICE January 2015
