The Concept of Change THE CONCEPT OF CHANGE: A DETERMINANT FOR EXPLAINING THE SUBSTANCE OF MARKETING Anthony J. McMullan MBA B. Comm March 2015 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University i Acknowledgements On this the presentation of my thesis I pause to reflect on the journey taken to get to this point. I reflect on my father who through his example of selling goods in the 1950s and 60s taught me in the 70s and 80s that there was more to marketing than making a sale. He was never just a salesman but someone who knew the value of providing customer service. He practiced the marketing concept before it was a widely accepted term. Making the customer satisfied was important to my father. I reflect on both my parents who taught me spirituality without which I would have never had the faith to complete this work. I reflect on Don and Janette, my parents in law, who have always believed in me. I reflect on the greatest achievement in my life, my two daughters Anthea and Joanna. Anthea is the strongest person I know, each day she demonstrates this strength; she is far more intelligent than me. Reason saw not, til faith sprung the light. Have faith Anthea. Joanna, you know from where I came, anything in life is possible. Follow your dreams and succeed. I finally reflect on why I am in this position today. Success is a function of the support around you. I am fortunate to have always had the support of my wife Cate. More times than not my success has come from her sacrifice, no words can adequately thank her for this. I was motivated by your encouragement to tell my story. I am because we are. Thank you, this work is a tribute to you all. God bless always. ii I would also like to acknowledge those outside family influences in my life. Early in my academic study I was influenced by: Dr Frankie Edwards (deceased); Dr Bert Cunnington (deceased); and Dr Peter Graham. This thesis is as a result of the marketing education I received from each of them. Most of all I would like to acknowledge the advice, support and friendship of Dr Stephen Dann (Supervisor) and Dr Susan Dann (Co-Supervisor) throughout this process and over the twenty odd years we have known each other. This process has taught me a lot about rigor, analysis and challenging myself. I have succeeded because of the teaching excellence of Dr Stephen Dann. It does not surprise me one bit that Stephen was named the Pearson ANZMAC Emerging Educator of the Year in 2010. You are a great educator. Thank you to both of you. I would like to also thank one friend in particular, Paul Hodda, for his willingness to listen to my ramblings about marketing. I found it time well spent synthesising ideas while receiving an appreciation in the fineries of whiskey. iii Thesis Contents Statement of Certification ............................................................................................... i Acknowledgements .......................................................................................................... ii Table of Contents ........................................................................................................... iv List of Tables ................................................................................................................ viii List of Figures ................................................................................................................. ix Abstract ............................................................................................................................ x Chapter 1 Introduction ............................................................................................. 1 1.1 Research Background ........................................................................................... 1 1.2 Literature Summary .............................................................................................. 3 1.3 Research Problem ................................................................................................. 5 1.4 Research Justification ........................................................................................... 7 1.5 Research Methodology ......................................................................................... 9 1.6 Conclusions and Implications ............................................................................. 10 1.7 Thesis Outline ..................................................................................................... 12 Chapter 2 Marketing Literature Review .............................................................. 16 2.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................ 16 2.2 Marketing – The Broad Domain: Parameters and Meaning .............................. 16 2.3 Paradigms of Marketing ..................................................................................... 17 2.3.1 The Simple Trade Orientation ................................................................ 19 2.3.2 The Production Orientation .................................................................... 19 2.3.3 The Sales Orientation ............................................................................. 20 2.3.4 The Marketing Orientation ..................................................................... 20 2.3.5 The Societal Orientation ....................................................................... 22 2.4 Additional Concepts of Marketing .................................................................... 22 2.4.1 Marketing Mix ....................................................................................... 22 2.4.2 The Concept of Exchange ...................................................................... 23 2.4.3 Expanding the Concept of Marketing – The Broadened Domain of Marketing. .................................................. 28 2.5 Schools of Marketing Thought .......................................................................... 30 2.6 Definition of Marketing .................................................................................... 31 2.7 Marketing Remains a Misunderstood Term ....................................................... 36 2.8 Marketing and Change: The Environmental Influence ...................................... 38 2.9 The Role of Change in Marketing History ......................................................... 41 2.10 Marketing: The Change Paradigm ..................................................................... 42 iv 2.11 The Concept of Change as a Unit of Analysis ................................................... 53 2.12 The Marketing Leadership School of Thought .................................................. 59 2.13 Conclusion: Summary of Chapter ...................................................................... 61 Chapter 3 The History of Marketing Thought .................................................... 63 3.1 Introduction ........................................................................................................ 63 3.2 The History of Marketing Thought .................................................................... 63 3.3 Significant Contributions to the History of Marketing Thought ........................ 65 3.3.1 Robert Bartels ................................................................................................ 65 3.3.2 William L.

  • The Role of Cliometrics in History and Economics
    Documents de travail « The Role of Cliometrics in History and Economics» Auteurs Claude Diebolt, Michael Haupert Document de Travail n° 2021 – 26 Juin 2021 Bureau d’Économie Théorique et Appliquée BETA www.beta-umr7522.fr @beta_economics Contact : [email protected] The Role of Cliometrics in History and Economics Claude Diebolt, CNRS, University of Strasbourg and Michael Haupert, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Prepared for Bloomsbury History: Theory and Method Draft: June 10, 2021 Summary How did cliometrics in particular, and economic history in general, arrive at this crossroads, where it is at once considered to be a dying discipline and one that is spreading through the economics discipline as a whole? To understand the current status and future prospects of economic history, it is necessary to understand its past. Keywords Cliometrics, economic history, Robert Fogel, Douglass North, economic growth, econometrics, interdisciplinary economic history, new economic history, multidisciplinary, methodology, quantitative. JEL codes A12, N00, N01 Introduction In 2019 Diebolt and Haupert (2019a), in a response to the question of whether economic history had been assimilated by the economics discipline, argued that rather than assimilation, economic history resembled a ninja, and had infiltrated the discipline. That view of the current status of economic history is not universally shared. Abramitzky (2015 p 1242) bemoaned the fact that the typical economist only cares about the past “to the extent that it sheds light on the present.” More recently, Stefano Fenoaltea (2018) mourned what he saw as the loss of respect for the field of cliometrics. Abramitzky and Fenoaltea represent contemporary scholars who identified dark shadows encroaching upon economic historians.

  • A Bio-Bibliography Of
    1 A BIO-BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORY D.A. FARNIE and GEOFFREY TWEEDALE 5th Edition 2009 2 Preface to Fifth Edition This is the fifth edition of A Bio-Bibliography of Economic and Social History. Its originator and chief author, Douglas Farnie, sadly did not live to see its completion and publication. He died in Manchester on 21 June 2008, aged 82, following complications from heart surgery. The first edition of Douglas‟s Bio-Bibliography was published in Pat Hudson (ed.), Living Economic and Social History. Essays to Mark the 75th Anniversary of the Economic History Society (2001). It listed about 700 individuals. Characteristically, Douglas had been expanding and revising it ever since. It went through further editions, each more expansive than the last. This edition covers over 3,500 individuals. My involvement began casually in 2001, when I began passing Douglas obituaries and snippets of information for inclusion. The amount of information gathered pace as I began using electronic sources to fill gaps and to supplement the material that Douglas was still collecting from libraries and paper sources. Douglas never used a computer (or even a typewriter) and always preferred to use a pen. However, the world-wide-web fascinated Douglas and when it became apparent that it could transform the scope of the Bio-Bibliography, we began to collaborate on producing a much expanded fifth edition. A routine developed. From early 2007 until 27 March 2008, we met once a week at Manchester Metropolitan University Business School not only to revise the electronic copy of the Bio- Bibliography, but also to scour the web for new material.

    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Library No. 31 Bibliographical Contributions October 193( REFERENCES ON ECONOMIC HISTORY AS A FIELD OF RESEARCH AND STUDIi By Everett E. Edwards, Agricultural Economist Bureau of Agricultural Economics Washington, D. C.

  • Harvesting Power: Transatlantic Merchants and the Anglo-American Grain Trade, 1795-1890
    Harvesting Power: Transatlantic Merchants and the Anglo-American Grain Trade, 1795-1890 Thomas David Finger Flagstaff, Arizona Bachelor of Arts, State University of New York at Binghamton, 2003 Master of Arts, University of Arizona, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2015 1 “Harvesting Power” Thomas D. Finger Harvesting Power: Transatlantic Merchants and the Anglo-American Grain Trade, 1795-1890 Thomas D. Finger Abstract Between 1795 and 1889, the Anglo-American grain trade grew to provide Great Britain with most of its food imports. At first, bottlenecks in transportation and markets limited trade. Between the 1820s and 1870s, merchants built infrastructure by mobilizing business associations, capital, technology, and nature. British and American merchants invested in American transportation and participated in free trade debates during the 1840s. Following the repeal of the British Corn Laws in 1846, American and British merchants stitched together regional markets to send American wheat to Britain. By the 1870s, three key American regions supplied Britain with grain: the Great Lakes Corridor, California, and the Spring Wheat Region of the northern plains. In the late 1870s, American exports increased as British crops failed. Between 1875 and 1890, American wheat exports rose further as British merchants invested in American milling and transportation. By 1890, the American and British wheat markets converged. This convergence encouraged large commercial agriculture in the United States and a reliance on imports to feed industrial Great Britain. 2 “Harvesting Power” Thomas D.

Conoce las fuerzas que gobiernan el mundo, las tiene a su servicio, es el dios de la tierra: es el diablo. Su lema es: todo puede hacerse. Sus armas son el oro y la inteligencia. Su procedimiento es el cálculo. Ernesto Sábato, 1951 Boileau said that Kings, Gods, and Heroes only were fit subjects for literature. The writer can only write about what he admires. Present day kings aren’t very inspiring, the gods are on vacation, and about the only heroes left are the scientists and the poor… And since our race admires gallantry, the writer will deal with it where he finds it.
