Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject: Call for Research Papers for “AIMA Journal of Management & Research”
“Re Conceptualising Marketing”
Background Theme
As per common wisdom Marketing is an applied discipline. It is about buying and selling. The concept of marketing is neither complicated nor original. It originated in the USA in the 1950’s when it was taken up as a course in universities. But the application of the concept is as old as trade.
There is no universally accepted definition of marketing, as it is more based on perception, attitude and creating value. Therefore it may mean different to different people.
What Adam Smith (1776) wrote in his classic work “The Wealth of Nations” has given the essence of the central guiding theme of the subject of marketing i.e. the keyword consumer which forms the basis of all modern concepts of marketing.
Over the years marketing has been defined and redefined numerous times. New pillars of marketing has emerged, key processes in marketing like – product management, customer relationship management and supply chain management has reshaped the processes. New techniques to monitor the results and evaluate the variation and correcting the process using technology are re conceptualising marketing. Some contemporary marketing practices that were never envisaged a decade ago are now given results, while some foundation of marketing is still showing relevance in the marketing.
