Call for papers: "The Technology Revolution in Marketing Management Processes"

For a special issue of the International Journal of Business and Globalisation.

Today, rapidly changing technologies, unlimited access to information and global competition are a source of new challenges for companies operating in the market and also for the marketing concept itself. Additionally, uncertainty and risk, which are a natural part of contemporary market realities, make traditional marketing rules insufficient. This therefore implies the necessity to look for new ways for achieving competitive advantage.
 
Marketing is an area of company activity that has undergone many changes in the last decade. New communication tools, ensuring interactivity in processes, new ways of cooperation with customers, new ways of reaching customers, creating offers and value for customers, etc. are an effect of the information revolution in the sphere of marketing.
 
In the near future we can expect next new trends, and as a consequence new opportunities, business models and concepts. This special issue is dedicated to the influence of the technology revolution on marketing theory and practice.
 
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • New business models influenced by technological innovation
  • New marketing concepts, e.g. experiential marketing, buzz marketing, augmented reality, neuromarketing, prosumption, gamification
