This book is one of the few contemporary works to begin to
reinterpret marketing thought from a marketing exchange
perspective. The book consists of sixteen newly authored chapters
solicited for this reinterpretation.
The discussion begins with a description of the marketing
taxonomy, identifying and distinguishing between marketing behavior
and other non-marketing, need-satisfying behavior pertinent to
marketers. The controversy surrounding such a taxonomy as well as
alternative classifications of specific need-satisfying behaviors
are examined in depth as well. Other topics specific to marketing
behavior are examined from an exchange perspective by authors who
have done specialized work in the field. The discussions include
the temporal and spatial aspects of exchange; internal markets;
evaluation processes; the attributes of channel exchange in
contrast to final exchange; the captive consumer; externalities and
legal dimensions as they relate to the exchange process; with a
special emphasis on the exchange media and its role in the exchange
process. This book is important to marketing teachers and writers
who are attempting to conform to the American Marketing
Association's description of marketing. The topics examined in this
book are likely to serve as the basis for the next generation of
introductory and strategy marketing course textbooks.
