There is a growing interest in firms' adoption of ethical and social marketing approaches among academics and practitioners alike. Ethical Marketing is the application of ethics into the marketing process, and Social Marketing is a concept that seeks to influence a target audience for the greater social good. Ethical and Social Marketing in Asia examines this so-far unexplored area, investigating why differing cultures and consumption behaviours require different emphasis in different markets. The diversity of the Asian countries provides a perplexing environment to the development and management of ethical and social marketing. The belief that bottom line profits is enough for a company, is often not favourably viewed by Asian countries emphasising collective, social and long term benefits for the people and country. Due to these interesting characteristics and complexities, the study of ethical and social marketing in Asia is a timely topic. The first chapters introduce Ethical Marketing in Asia, followed by case studies of how the approach is used across 14 diverse economies, geographically based on 'clusters'; North East, (China, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea), South East (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia) and South Asia (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh). The second part discusses Social Marketing using the same sequence of regions and economies and the third part explores the unique link to Fairness Management in Asia, followed by a conclusion.

Explores the nature of ethical and social marketing from an Asian perspective Discusses current ethical and social marketing researches and practices in different areas, industries, commercial and non-commercial sectors Serves as an invaluable resource for marketing academics and practitioners requiring more than anecdotal evidence of different ethical and social marketing applications Compares and contrasts unethical situations covering important aspects related to ethics, society and fairness Includes an interesting mix of theory, research findings and practices

Customers are treated badly. Not all customers. Not always. But many are and often. Some customers are bad. They treat firms badly. Firms have to react. Employees and customers endure the consequences. Such bad behaviours, by firms and customers, have consequences for perceptions of trust and fairness, for endorsements and referrals, for repeat purchasing and loyalty, and ultimately for a firm’s profitability and RoI. The management of customer relationships is core to the success and even survival of the firm. As The Dark Side of CRM explores, this is an area fraught with difficulties, duplicitous practice and undesirable behaviours. These need acknowledging, mitigating and controlling.This book is the first of its kind to define these dark sides, exploring also how firms and policy-makers might address such behaviours and manage them successfully. With contributions from many of the leading exponents globally of CRM and understanding customers, The Dark Side of CRM is essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners interested in managing customers, relationship marketing and CRM, as well as social media and marketing strategy.

Even before the outbreak of COVID-19, scholars and marketers alike were paying increased attention to the complex array of stakeholders that corporations need to address to maintain a strong brand, identity, and reputation. To date, however, little empirical research into these issues has been published, and no single work has taken stock of the major changes in the field of stakeholder communication as they apply to corporate branding.The Emerald Handbook of Multi-Stakeholder Communication gathers an international, multidisciplinary team of experts to present just such sorely needed insight into effective brand messaging for multiple stakeholders, all while utilizing a diverse array of theoretical and methodological approaches that cumulatively present an up-to-date overview of the whole field. Starting with an introductory section on corporate messaging in a post-COVID era, chapters cover branding, identity, and reputation, respectively before covering differing marketing approaches and building a concluding reflection on future challenges and opportunities. These chapters offer comparative analyses of many different types of stakeholders from all over the globe. B2C, B2B, C2C and P2P contexts are all considered, as are recent developments in the field related to social media relations, sustainability and inclusivity, and virtual, mixed, and augmented reality.This comprehensive handbook is a must-have resource not only for students and researchers in business, management, brand management, communication, consumer behaviour, and marketing, but also for marketing practitioners, advertising and PR practitioners, and business consultants.
