Rethinking Marketing: Developing a New Understanding of MarketsJune 2005, ©2004
![]() |
Since the publication of Kotler's Marketing Management in 1967, marketing has witnessed a dramatic increase in academic involvement. Today there is an extensive range of publications available covering a variety of topics - from cognitive studies of consumer behaviour to organising international distribution - but the 4 Ps, based on the marketing mix model, remains as the dominant theoretical base. Rethinking Marketing demonstrates a misfit between the existing theoretical toolbox and important development trends in the marketplace.
