Marketing As Innovation The Eighth Paradigm

Author

Listed:
  • Kenneth Simmonds

Abstract

Marketing can be viewed as organized rational innovation ‐ a function concerned with identifying the opportunity for change, inducing the action required and monitoring the change once introduced. This viewpoint establishes innovation as an eighth paradigm for marketing, alongside seven paradigms previously recognized within marketing theory. It is the only paradigm to focus directly on the function of marketing ‐ on what the marketer actually does. As such, it draws traditional marketing management literature into marketing theory and highlights the problem of establishing and maintaining an innovative marketing function within an organizational environment resistant to change.
