Synopsis:
Marketing and Entrepreneurship have, until quite recently, remained two quite independent scholarly domains. In 2002, Morris et al. provided a definition of Entrepreneurial Marketing as, "an integrative construct for conceptualising marketing in an era of change, complexity, chaos, contradiction, and diminishing resources, and one that will manifest itself differently as companies age and grow. It fuses key aspects of recent developments in marketing thought and practice with those in the entrepreneurship area into one comprehensive construct".
Since then, research in this field has grown in significance across the globe. Hence, this book presents important theoretical developments with regard to research at the Entrepreneurship and Marketing interface. The editors have invited acknowledged authors working in this exciting discipline, from around the world, to divulge and present in a comprehensive format, a book which addresses critical issues for businesses, both small and large, from a global perspective.
The research is drawn from empirical research and the study of the following in diverse country contexts:
- new venture creation
- marketing in Small-to-Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)
- renewal of existing businesses facing market challenges
- internationalization
- innovative cost-effective marketing strategies and practices
- exploration of entrepreneurship theory and entrepreneurial behaviour of individuals and, in organisations.

The book encapsulates a wealth of experience from a wide range of authors from leading Universities through global perspectives. I am delighted to be able to convey my support to this book where Entrepreneurial Marketing has played a great importance to me and my story as Chairman and Founder of Cobra Beer. EM as a fairly new concept has opened up theoretical knowledge transcending traditional accounts of research. I hope the book will provide a great source of learning to students, professors, and entrepreneurs seeking out new ventures." Lord Karan Bilimoria, CBE, DL Chairman and Founder of Cobra Beer "This book is a timely and important addition to the literature on Entrepreneurial Marketing (EM). Sethna et al. superbly capture the essence of EM and everything that it encapsulates. They present insightful pieces of academic enquiry as well as new thought pieces on developing theories and concepts in the EM field. Entrepreneurial Marketing: Global Perspectives is likely to become a leading text on the subject, and will be an invaluable source of material for research students, professors and practitioners alike." Professor Jaideep Prabhu, Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge "Entrepreneurship is no longer thought of as solely the activity of starting a business, but as a practice that is pervasive throughout industry for creative approaches to running any kind of business. Marketing - specifically how we communicate the value of what the business offers - is directly linked to these entrepreneurial practices. This book captures research and insights on this new field of entrepreneurial marketing divided into theoretical perspectives and practical approaches --- providing the reader with the tools to apply entrepreneurial marketing techniques." Rob Howard, Founder, Telligent "What Sethna et al have captured in this rich and explorative research is a new and emerging trend that has been a well-kept secret for many large and small companies over the last decade. Marketing is not a science but the beauty and acumen of being able to combine both business common sense and ability with marketing theory and creative bravery. The research challenges the old school thinking of a classic MBA led business plan and execution and helps to get us all thinking about how successful businesses in the next decade are going to be built, it shows how real-time decision making, and market opportunities are created and maximized using tools like social media and smart creative people. This is a must read for people thinking about how to reinvigorate their market approach or succeed in an extraordinarily dynamic market place." Philippa Snare, Chief Marketing Officer, Microsoft Ltd
