The Routledge Companion to Ethnic Marketing / Edition 1

by Ahmad Jamal, Lisa Peñaloza, Michel Laroche

Overview

The globalization of marketing has brought about an interesting paradox: as the discipline becomes more global, the need to understand cultural differences becomes all the more crucial. This is the challenge in an increasingly international marketplace and a problem that the world's most powerful businesses must solve. From this challenge has grown the exciting discipline of ethnic marketing, which seeks to understand the considerable opportunities and challenges presented by cultural and ethnic diversity in the marketplace.

To date, scholarship in the area has been lively but disparate. This volume brings together cutting-edge research on ethnic marketing from thought leaders across the world. Each chapter covers a key theme, reflecting the increasing diversity of the latest research, including models of culture change, parenting and socialization, responses to web and advertising, role of space and social innovation in ethnic marketing, ethnic consumer decision making, religiosity, differing attitudes to materialism, acculturation, targeting and ethical and public policy issues.

The result is a solid framework and a comprehensive reference point for consumer researchers, students, and practitioners.

Editorial Reviews

‘Recent developments have created an unprecedented climate of ethnic, religious, and cultural changes on a global scale. This situation provides new and exciting opportunities. But, the question for academics and businesses, of course, is how best to define, challenge, and suggest new markets, products, and services created by a diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural landscape. This edited volume by Dr. Ahmad Jamal, Professor Lisa Peñaloza, and Professor Michel Laroche is a rich source of thought for everyone who wants to get deeper insights into this question. I highly recommend The Routledge Companion to Ethnic Marketing as a relevant read that also helps to generate a dialogue necessary to extend our understand of this important area even further.’ - Professor Adam Lindgreen, Head of Marketing & Strategy, Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University​, UK
