Applying Scientific Reasoning to the Field of Marketing:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grapentine, Terry, PUBLISHER: Business Expert Press, Marketing decisions often misfire when driven more by beliefs thong>anong> knowledge. Make Better Marketing Decisions: Lessons from the Philosophy of Science, guides readers on how to think more clearly ong>ong>anong>dong> correctly when making these decisions, thereby increasing orgong>anong>izational success. The book is based on the field of epistemology--the study of how knowledge is created--within the philosophy of science.

Consequently, the first sections of the book disabuse this notion by explaining why incorporating a scientific way of viewing the world ong>ong>anong>dong> the scientific method is actually a practical way to make better decisions. These introductory chapters trong>anong>sition into a more formal discussion of philosophy of science, epistemology, ong>ong>anong>dong> why marketing is a social science as opposed to merely ong>anong> art or a practice, like medicine or engineering.

Some of the studies in this book are on areas where there has been little research, such as the Germong>anong> colonies ong>ong>anong>dong> the Algeriong>anong> Sahara. Others throw new light on questions already debated, such as emong>anong>cipation on the Gold Coast. Some focus on the impact of abolition on particular groups of slaves. Among the themes considered is the role of slaves in their own emong>anong>cipation, the short ong>ong>anong>dong> long term results of abolition, the role of the League of Nations, ong>ong>anong>dong> the vestiges of slavery in Africa today.
