Blockchain is a digital, decentralized technology that is continually growing and making quite a mark in digital marketing. Blockchain has brought a drastic change to technology in the last few years, and it is referred to as distributed ledger technology (DLT), which makes the historical backdrop of any computerized resource unalterable and straightforward using decentralization and cryptographic hashing. Blockchain is transforming digital marketing by removing companies' abilities to pull data from customers without also offering to reimburse them for its value. Marketers can leverage the technology's positive attributes that customers are searching for in today's digital landscape, both in transparency and data protection. In terms of digital marketing, blockchain is one of the most important topics for its applications in the marketing field. Blockchain Technology and Applications for Digital Marketing provides insights on blockchain technology and its applications in digital marketing. This book grants a comprehensive understanding of how this technology is functioning within modern marketing and how it can influence the future of the digital marketing industry. The chapters cover the applications of blockchain, benefits and challenges, disruptive innovations in digital marketing, privacy and security concerns, and the recent trends of blockchain in digital marketing. It is ideally intended for marketers, advertisers, brand managers, executives, managers, IT specialists and consultants, researchers, businesses, practitioners, stakeholders, academicians, and students interested in blockchain technology and its role in digital marketing.

In the annals of consumer crazes, nothing compares to Beanie Babies. With no advertising or big-box distribution, creator Ty Warner - an eccentric college dropout - become a billionaire in just three years. And it was all thanks to collectors. The end of the craze was just as swift and extremely devastating, with "rare" Beanie Babies deemed worthless as quickly as they'd once been deemed priceless. Bissonnette draws on hundreds of interviews (including a visit to a man who lives with his 40,000 Ty products and an in-prison interview with a guy who killed a coworker over a Beanie Baby debt) for the first book on the most extraordinary craze of the 1990s.

This book, by one of China's leading economists, explores the past and present of the RMB-the people's currency-as it is poised to compete with the dollar as the international reserve currency. Exchange rate movement and its pass-through to changes in domestic prices have been topics of wide concern among economists. However, relatively few studies have empirically investigated the relationship between exchange rate movements and China's international trade.This book fills this gap, using the general equilibrium theory of the western economic science norm systems, integrating the leading heterogeneous firm theory of international trade, attempting to set up a theoretical structural model for further prediction, and applying the data from sample cases to examine the structural model. This book will be of interest to economists, financiers, and China watchers.
