This research topic for Frontiers in Psychology highlights some of the more relevant changes that have conditioned consumer behavior in recent years—among these, the paradigm shift in marketing is worth emphasizing. Today, the market and the companies are implementing Marketing 4.0; This new marketing approach modifies both the business rules and the channels by changing the way to dialogue, interact and relation with consumers. The present Research Topic brings together 30 studies by 76 authors who analyzed the relevance of consumer behavior changes under this new paradigm, using different theoretical and methodological frameworks. These different papers, mainly constituting original research, examine a variety of sub-topics, including online and mobile environments, value co-creation, internal marketing strategies, and diverse industries and product markets. Given this broad selection of papers, we encourage readers to draw their own conclusions about the complex phenomena of consumer behavior. Our hope is that these different perspectives will cover various gaps in the field and prompt discussion among the audience of Frontiers in Psychology.

You are welcome to ONLINE RELATIONSHIP MARKETING - What Works in Ghana. This book has two key audiences. First, it explores the antecedents and outcomes of Online Relationship Marketing (ORM). The antecedents are conceptualised as ORM activities - engagement, interactivity, personalisation and collaboration. The outcomes are trust, commitment and customer loyalty. However, trust and commitment are also conceptualised as mediators between the ORM activities and customer loyalty. Through structural equation modelling, this book examines these relationships to explain the antecedents and outcomes of ORM in a developing economy, Ghana. In this light, researchers and practitioners seeking to understand the constituents of ORM will find this book as a timely resource to understand how ORM is practised in Ghana.Second, the book is a good guide for anyone seeking to undertake or currently enrolled in a doctoral programme in marketing. The book presents a thorough review of ORM, thereby outlining the research gaps that can shape future research. Two research theories - Commitment-Trust theory and Signalling theory - are also reviewed to understand how they can be used to address the research gaps identified. Hence, the book is a good guide for conducting literature review in a doctoral thesis. It is also a good example for any business student seeking to use structural equation modelling in a doctoral thesis.

ISBN: 9780749450182

Profit Brand presents a results-driven view of branding that any CEO or CFO would applaud. While branding strategies often concern themselves with "awareness," "visibility," "impact," and "image," author Nick Wreden shifts the focus to the bottom line. He offers a comprehensive metrics-based approach to branding that allows companies to link branding activities directly with profits. Wreden looks at the inefficiencies of traditional branding strategies that stress customer acquisition over customer retention. Customer loyalty, he argues, is the key to delivering profitability. With this in mind, he explores loyalty schemes, the need to own the customer experience, and the means of leveraging allies as brand ambassadors. He covers topics such as segmentation, optimization, pricing, and communication strategies and explores accountability systems such as six sigma, CRM, and scorecards. Citing examples from global brands such as IBM, Disney, Amex and KLM, the book highlights marketing practices both good and bad.

Evaluating the existing strengths and weaknesses of financial inclusion in Africa, it identifies opportunities to improve inclusive financial services and aid poverty reduction in the region.
