In an era where "profit maximization" has often become a demon that justifies deceptive tactics and the exploitation of stakeholders, Wellbeing Marketing emerges as a transformative philosophy for the modern organization. For too long, marketing has been dismissed as a mere gimmick to coerce consumers into buying more at higher prices. This book shatters that cynical paradigm, arguing that the true purpose of any organization – be it a corporation, school, or hospital – is to create happiness and make the world a better place. By shifting the focus from short-term financial gains to the genuine creation of value for customers and stakeholders, businesses can escape the "myth of rapid growth" that often leads to ethical crises and brand ruin. This book demonstrates that profit and happiness are not mutually exclusive; rather, when an organization aligns its mission with the pursuit of wellbeing, it achieves a sustainable "unity of knowledge and action" that benefits society as a whole.Through fascinating case studies of global giants like Disneyland and Walmart, alongside unique "small but beautiful" enterprises like Nakagawa Masashichi Heirloom Store, readers will discover how any industry – from heavy steel to delicate fashion – can foster a sense of joy and lasting happiness. Wellbeing Marketing is more than a management textbook; it is a call to return to the "social man" hypothesis, offering a roadmap for leaders who wish to build respected brands that thrive by elevating the human experience.

Service engineering is increasingly posing challenges to traditional software engineering methodologies including specification, modeling, architecture, and verification, just to name a few. On the other hand, the latest advancements in software engineering are continuously leveraged in Service Engineering research, especially in the design and implementation of service-oriented systems. Several mutual impacts between service engineering and software engineering could be observed in the last decade, and many research efforts have been devoted to the field. However, in spite of the considerable efforts and significant contributions, few have attempted to summarize the research results systematically.
