Marketing scholarship and practice are rooted in assumptions of scarcity. However, increasingly the collective problems facing marketers, and business practitioners more generally, are associated with abundance or excess: pollution, obesity, consumerism, urban sprawl, information glut, etc. This conversation seeks to broaden the dialog amongst researchers, students, and practitioners by examining the assumptions of scarcity, their impact on marketing thought and strategic decision-making practices, and advocating for more “nomadic” approaches to organizational change.
Join the Centre and Alexander Mitchell as he leads us in a discussion about Confronting Scarcity.
Let’s see where the conversation takes us!
