Markenpsychologie: Wie Marken wirken - Was Marken stark macht
by Gert GutjahrWas macht Marken stark? Dies Frage ist für die Markenführung zentral. Um sie beantworten zu können, muss geklärt werden, was eine Marke überhaupt ist und wie Marken wirken. Im Rahmen der Consumer-Neuroscience-Forschung haben Markenwahl-Experimente mit funktioneller Magnetresonanztomografie zu überraschenden Ergebnissen geführt und gezeigt, dass die Wirkung der Marken noch immer im Dunkeln liegt. Die neuesten Erkenntnisse der psychologischen Markenforschung basieren auf neuropsychologischen und tiefenpsychologischen Ansätzen, die Gert Gutjahr in seinem Buch vorstellt. Sein Fazit: Starke Marken entstehen durch Brain Branding. Sie existieren als Brain Script im Gehirn, sind also an neuronale Prozesse gekoppelt. Die zweite Auflage berücksichtigt Erweiterungen der theoretischen Grundlagen und enthält neue Case-Studies, die Anwendungen bei der psychologischen Markenführung zeigen. Zudem wurde ein neues Kapitel "Sound Marketing" ergänzt. "Nur eine transdisziplinäre Betrachtung kann zum richtigen Markenverständnis führen." Prof. Dr. Dieter Ahlert, Marketing Center Münster

The Market Power of Technology: Understanding the Second Gilded Age
by Mordecai KurzSince the 1980s, the United States has regressed to a level of economic inequality not seen since the Gilded Age in the late nineteenth century. At the same time, technological innovation has transformed society, and a core priority of public policy has been promoting innovation. What is the relationship between economic inequality and technological change?Mordecai Kurz develops a comprehensive integrated theory of the dynamics of market power and income inequality. He shows that technological innovations are not simply sources of growth and progress: they sow the seeds of market power. In a free market economy with intellectual property rights, firms’ control over technology enables them to expand, attain monopoly power, and earn exorbitant profits. Competition among innovators does not eliminate market power because technological competition is different from standard competition; it results in only one or two winners. Kurz provides a pioneering analysis grounded on quantifying technological market power and its effects on inequality, innovation, and economic growth. He outlines what causes market power to rise and fall and details its macroeconomic and distributional consequences.Kurz demonstrates that technological market power tends to rise, increasing inequality of income and wealth. Unchecked inequality threatens the foundations of democracy: public policy is the only counterbalancing force that can restrain corporate power, attain more egalitarian distribution of wealth, and make democracy compatible with capitalism. Presenting a new paradigm for understanding today’s vast inequalities, this book offers detailed proposals to redress them by restricting corporate mergers and acquisitions, reforming patent law, improving the balance of power in the labor market, increasing taxation, promoting upward mobility, and stabilizing the middle class.

Por supuesto, todas las historias en The Onion son falsas, y cualquiera que las tome en serio es el verdadero blanco de la broma.

Marketing Technologies: Corporate Cultures and Technological Change (Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology)
by Elena SimakovaGlobal corporations initiate, join and maintain socio-technological change and hence, alter the ways in which we organize our lives. Demanding significant investment of resources and time, the development and implementation of new technologies on different levels must take into consideration these subtle processes. As such, it is particularly important that we have a greater insight into the practices of hi-tech corporations, in view of the often inflated promises of and concerns about the destiny of technological breakthroughs, especially those promising sizeable economic outcomes and societal transformation. Elena Simakova undertook a lengthy ethnographic study, working alongside marketing managers in a global IT corporation in their Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) headquarters in the UK. Using the experience gained through a close participation in their everyday corporate rituals and routines, her account challenges common perceptions of how corporations make the world think and act with regard to technologies in particular ways. The book contains an interesting case study on the launch of a radio frequency identification (RFID) based solution. Unravelling the construction of expectations, inclusions and exclusions around emerging technologies, this reflexive account also tackles uneasy practical and methodological questions pertinent to corporate ethnography. This book is an essential read for scholars in science and technology studies, economic sociology, anthropology, as well as management and organizational studies and research policy.
