Distribution within an organization relates to processes, people and interrelations between other organizations which connect the production of the products and services to their end-users. It is a chain of elements that, when connected, provides a smooth flow of orders and fulfilment across the business. It can be long and distributed or short and concise and, like any chain, it is only as strong as its weakest link. This handbook from the Cambridge Marketing College series analyses and assesses the different distribution models and identifies the key issues related to determining distribution strategy across an organisation. It provides a concise guide to identifying the key distribution activities within a wide variety of national, international, physical and online businesses and how to relate the experiences of other businesses within a company.

In the last two years, consumers have experienced massive changes in consumption – whether due to shifts in habits; the changing information landscape; challenges to their identity, or new economic experiences of scarcity or abundance. What can we expect from these experiences? How are the world's leading thinkers applying both foundational knowledge and novel insights as we seek to understand consumer psychology in a constantly changing landscape? And how can informed readers both contribute to and evaluate our knowledge? This handbook offers a critical overview of both fundamental topics in consumer psychology and those that are of prominence in the contemporary marketplace, beginning with an examination of individual psychology and broadening to topics related to wider cultural and marketplace systems. The Cambridge Handbook of Consumer Psychology, 2nd edition, will act as a valuable guide for teachers and graduate and undergraduate students in psychology, marketing, management, economics, sociology, and anthropology.

Written in two parts, this handbook provides a reference for practitioners, and for those who wish to complete a professional qualification. The first part explores the nature of the product itself and how it should fit with the marketplace. It deals primarily with (a) how to craft a strong value-proposition, as seen by customers, and (b) how to compile the business case, as seen by the selling organization, including chapters on portfolio management and branding. The second part covers the timeline of a product, and shows how the concepts of the first part evolve as time goes by, examining what has to be done in practice, from idea-gathering, through product development and launch, to product maintenance and eventual withdrawal. Covering both B2B and B2C contexts, the book examines the different emphasis that is needed for the different categories of product in each.

ISBN: 1108754139

Compliance has become key to our contemporary markets, societies, and modes of governance across a variety of public and private domains. While this has stimulated a rich body of empirical and practical expertise on compliance, thus far, there has been no comprehensive understanding of what compliance is or how it influences various fields and sectors. The academic knowledge of compliance has remained siloed along different disciplinary domains, regulatory and legal spheres, and mechanisms and interventions. This handbook bridges these divides to provide the first one-stop overview of what compliance is, how we can best study it, and the core mechanisms that shape it. Written by leading experts, chapters offer perspectives from across law, regulatory studies, management science, criminology, economics, sociology, and psychology. This volume is the definitive and comprehensive account of compliance.

Marketers have long held the view that the customer should be central to all they think about, all they do. Yet the developments of the last few years have shown that other forces are at play that can be at least as powerful and long lasting. A broader group of stakeholders exists whose needs and interests must be understood and satisfied in the quest for a strong corporate reputation and business success. Most recently the impact of the internet and social media has amplified the power of individuals to comment on, and ultimately to influence, the activities of organizations of all types. This handbook examines the identification of stakeholders: internal, connected and external, their ability to affect the organization, and how organizations should relate to them. It also examines the organization itself and the factors which influence the development of its corporate image among its various stakeholder audiences.

Marketers should be aware that there is a large amount of regulation and legislation and that ignorance of the law is not an excuse. However, many marketers feel very unsure how the various rules and regulations affect them. This handbook examines the key issues that affect marketers in marketing communications, including both traditional media such as advertisements and social media. Written by a marketer, rather than a lawyer, this handbook is designed to give practical guidance on all the necessary aspects. Legal language is very precise, and hence complicated; this handbook uses colloquial language for clarity. Each chapter includes clear summaries, examples and flow diagrams to help marketers understand how to comply.
