Simone Guercini – författare

Simone Guercini analyses over a decade of research, arguing that heuristics remain an important behavioural indicator despite complex data-driven models now characterising marketers’ decision making. Key examples of heuristics within marketing automation are referenced, including customer clustering, recommendation systems and programmatic advertising. Marketing Automation and Decision Making convincingly asserts that technological tools which adopt functional heuristics have the potential to integrate AI into marketing competences without replacing human capabilities, instead using machine capabilities to support and augment human capacity with highly beneficial outcomes.

This innovative and forward-thinking book will be a fascinating read for students and academics interested in marketing, social science, social policy, psychology, AI and cognitive science. Marketing scholars and practitioners will also find this a highly interesting read.

Providing new perspectives on the interface between passion and entrepreneurship, this book recognizes that entrepreneurship is not just based on the search for profit. Instead, the entrepreneurial experience incorporates more complex processes, often based on less rational behavior motivated by reasons other than revenue. ‘Passion’ refers both to emotional elements that may fuel an entrepreneurial effort as well as something that feeds the business.

The book challenges established views and shows the complexity of the link between passion and entrepreneurship. The authors discuss the main implications for businesses, and explore how passion at the individual and community level influences entrepreneurial efforts. Offering case studies from multiple sectors alongside conceptual frameworks, this edited volume is a useful tool for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working on entrepreneurship.
