Review Marketing Strategy (SAGE Library in Marketing) / Sage Publications Ltd:In marketing, globally, new challenges are emerging which strategic marketers must face. Researchers are driven to understand and explain the marketing strategy landscape, and to develop tools and instruments that can help marketers shape, implement, and control marketing strategies. This concentration on marketing strategy issues by marketing academics, and the resulting escalation in articles published, means that interested readers approaching the literature are faced with a monumental task. The sheer scale of the literature is the problem: it is too diverse, too fragmented, too vast. Marketing Strategy sets about correcting this problem. First, the volumes impose an order on the burgeoning marketing strategy literature. In doing so, core thematic topics, and new and emerging areas of interest are represented, and the resulting structure of the major work reflects the new emerging marketing strategy landscape. Second, the volumes contain articles that provide a balanced perspective on the topics covered and allow readers to see how the various aspects of marketing strategy are all interconnected. Volume 1: Marketing Strategy’s Conceptual Foundations: Market Orientation, the Cornerstone of Strategic Marketing Thought Volume 2: Marketing Strategy Processes and Tools Volume 3: Marketing-Mix Strategies – Product Strategy and Promotion Strategy Volume 4: Marketing-Mix Strategies – Distribution Strategy and Pricing Strategy Volume 5: Marketing Strategy Organization, Implementation and Control Volume 6: Evolving and Emerging Issues in Marketing Strategy This reference collection presents an up-to date picture of marketing strategy, one that reflects the historical origins and evolution of marketing strategy thought, and current and emerging themes within the marketing strategy literature.

Review Pensions and Pension Funding (4 vols) (Critical Perspectives on the World Economy) / Routledge:For more than fifty years, pensions have been the subject of academic enquiry and controversy. Debates have raged over, amongst other things, the need for pensions, the means by which they might be delivered, their implications for the public finances, their impact on an individual's employment motivations and their significance for national and global capital markets. These debates, and others, have spawned a vast and disparate literature. Currently, the issue that most often exercises the minds of academics and policy-makers is that of pension reform. It is widely recognized that decades of social and economic change have rendered obsolete the pension arrangements in many developed and developing countries. The question of what now constitutes an appropriate set of pension arrangements is, however, far from settled. Opinions are divided over whether existing national pension systems can be modified to make them fit contemporary needs and circumstances, or whether they should be jettisoned in favour of something entirely different. Central to the analysis of many issues in pension provision is the universal phenomenon of population ageing. Around the world, falling birth rates and rising life expectancy are raising the ratio of elderly to working-age people. For several decades, the literature on pensions and population ageing has been extremely negative. [+]Recently, though, a series of books and papers have appeared which argue for a more benign, less pessimistic, interpretation of population ageing. The papers and articles included in each volume of this new "Routledge Major Work" have been selected so as to reflect the multi-dimensional nature of the subject and the interest it has aroused internationally. With a full index and an introduction newly written by the editor, this four-volume collection is a unique and valuable research resource for both student and scholar alike.

Review John A. Hobson: Critical Assessments of Leading Economists / Routledge:John Atkinson Hobson was a controversial figure in the history of economic thought. As an advocate of an apparently fallacious theory of over-saving, a critic of the orthodox theory of distribution, and a proponent of a theory of imperialism which was later taken up by Lenin, Hobson was generally condemned as a heretic by the rest of the economic establishment. His fortunes changed, rather belatedly, in 1936, when Keynes paid tribute to Hobson's work in The General Theory as anticipating his own theory that society can, under some circumstances, save too large a proportion of its income-thrift then being a vice, not a virtue. Hobson's influence was international and the impact of his writings was widespread. This collection reprints the essential scholarship on Hobson's economic, social and political thought, with helpful introductions which provide the reader with guidance and context.

Review Tourism / Sage Publications Ltd:Even though Tourism forms a vibrant and dynamic field of study, the history and development of it remains uncharted in any significant manner. The subject developed in response to a growing interest and recognition of the potential value of tourism to the economy, society and culture, as well as environmental regeneration. In part, the evolution of the subject has arisen from the development of a critical interest among social scientists and more latterly business researchers. There are no benchmarks on which scholars, researchers and public sector agencies can gauge where the subject came from, what it has achieved, where it is going, and what it means for the public sector in establishing adequate planning and control measures. This major reference collection, Tourism, brings together not only the seminal studies and articles that have shaped thinking in the Tourism area, but also the structure of the collection synthesises, organises and logically analyses a large number of issues to guide users through the manifold branches of this field.

Review Western Economics in Japan: The Early Years (Western Influence on Japan) / Ganesha Publishing:This set collects together some of the most important and influential economics texts from the age of the 'Japanese Enlightenment'. The understanding of western economics in Japan was founded on Japanese translations of these seminal books, which although they did not change the course of economic thinking had a marked impact on Japanese economic development. As examples of successful, nineteenth-century economics textbooks they are also of great relevance to anyone interested in the dissemination of economic ideas during this period. The set is introduced by Hiroshi Mizuta, joint editor of Political Economy Comes to Japan, a study of the diffusion of western economics in Japan during the Meiji period. This new collection: —explains some of the distinctive features of Japanese economic thinking during the Meiji period —makes available books which are rare even in Europe —provides crucial material on nineteenth-century economic pedagogy —ncludes in addition to the eight books listed, a transcript of Boissonade's key newspaper article 'L'Économie politique au Japon' (1876).

Review Marketing Research (Critical Perspectives on Business & Management) / Routledge:The essence of successful and sustainable marketing practice is founded on an understanding of existing and potential consumers. As marketing has grown around this principle, so the subdiscipline - and industry - of marketing research has flourished. This new four-volume collection in the Routledge Major Works series, "Critical Perspectives on Business and Management", meets the need for an authoritative, up-to-date, and comprehensive reference work synthesizing its voluminous literature. Indeed, the sheer scale of the growth in related research output - and the breadth of the field - makes this collection especially timely and welcome. "Marketing Research" provides the most comprehensive collection of classic and contemporary contributions on the subject to date. It facilitates ready access to the most influential and important works across the field, combining theoretical and practical perspectives to encourage a broader appreciation of marketing research and the mutual influences within it. Drawing on expertise garnered in both the academy and in practice, "Marketing Research" has been co-edited by David Birks, a leading scholar in the field (and co-author of the Europe's most successful marketing research textbook, now in its third edition), and Tim Macer, an international marketing research consultant and commentator. The collection is fully indexed and has a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editors, which places the material in its historical and intellectual context. It is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by scholars and students - as well as practitioners in the field - as a vital one-stop research resource.
