This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable.

This book provides an overview of recent and current research which defines and scopes the field of responsible marketing in one single edited book. It brings together diverse perspectives from contributors at Birmingham University, leading the academic development of knowledge of the subject, to contribute to the learning curriculum and reach out to those interested in improving marketing practices and standards. Responsible Marketing for Well-being and Society draws together a rich and diverse body of scholarly research from a variety of perspectives from individual to global, macro and micro, producer and consumer, environmental, stakeholder, supply chain, and other intermediary viewpoints. The embryonic research in this field involves different philosophical and methodological positions, theoretical approaches, and research communities including aspects of corporate social responsibility, marketing ethics, critical marketing, consumer culture theory, and macromarketing. The book takes a predominantly organisational or enterprise-level perspective in order to understand and explain how individuals and organisations can manage their marketing activities and relationships responsibly. The actions of other stakeholders are also a crucial component in achieving responsible outcomes; therefore, a broader perspective on the impacts of marketing decisions and actions on other stakeholders, such as consumers, employees, the environment, and society, is also taken as a basis for analysis and discussion. The book provides an authoritative overview for the academic market, including university libraries, research teams, PhD students, and independent researchers. The topics and contents of responsible marketing are relevant to several disciplinary fields of study including, marketing, advertising, retailing and other business subjects, consumer studies, sustainability, ethics, public policy, media studies, psychology, economics, and other social sciences.

This book does much to disple the old canard that John Dewey was guilty of "scientism" and a reverent worship of technological progress. Indeed, Dewey predated the Frankfurt school in his warnings about the dangers inherent in a machine culture. With new advances come new problems, and these can only be dealt with through an instrumentalist approach. Dewey also argued that we have no guarantee of success. Natural events can terminate human life and human greed, laziness, or error could have the same result.

Companies and thought leaders need to do a better job embedding core principles into the lifecycle of the digital production value chain at all levels. Objectives and key results as well as key performance indicators must all be measured according to sustainability and our overall well-being. We must do everything in our power to impart these principles to teams developing digital products. Balakarthik Baskaran, a technologist, philanthropist, and digital transformation leader, explores how to overcome the challenges to developing such a model in this book. He answers questions such as: • What are the principles of frugal design? • How does seemingly innocuous technology like text messaging affect global warming? • In what ways can digital technology be used to drive positive change? While technology has helped us be more efficient in our lives in our work, it’s also failed to solve some of our most pressing global environmental problems. However, while technology may be part of the problem, this book explores how it can also offer solutions.
