Covering both theory and practice, "Personal Financial Planning" goes beyond existing product-based regulatory guidebooks and consumer guides to personal finance. This book enables students to gain a greater breadth and understanding of all aspects of personal finance.

This groundbreaking book recognises and addresses the urgent need to develop a new understanding of marketing.  Based on the involvement of twenty thought leaders from Europe and the US, this book gives us both a state of the art picture of marketing today and a look ahead to the marketing challenges of tomorrow. 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.

Concerned Markets tackles the intersection between markets and politics, investigating the very current issue of designing markets to include multiple values.When political, social, technological and economic interests, values, and perspectives interact, market order and performance become contentious issues of debate. Such 'hot' situations are becoming increasingly common and make for rich sites of research. With expert empirical contributions investigating the organization of such 'concerned' markets, this book is positioned at the centre of the rapidly growing area of interdisciplinary market studies. Markets investigated include those for palm oil, primary health care and functional foods. The authors also examine markets and environmental concerns as well as better market design for those at the bottom of the pyramid.Scholars, postgraduate and PhD level students in finance, economic sociology, marketing, organization theory and economics will find this book essential reading. Policymakers and practitioners will benefit from the fresh insight into the design and maintenance of market systems.Contributors include: L. Araujo, F. Azimont, R. Chakrabarti, F. Cochoy, S.
