Does Stakeholder Marketing Pay Off?

Marketing thought leaders lately have been advocating that marketing practice need to go beyond customer and think of all stakeholders of the company. This course explores this very debate by discussing what is stakeholder marketing and who are the eight other stakeholders in addition to customers. It explains evolution of marketing from product-customer-stakeholder-centricity and discusses the seven underlying forces driving this shift. Presented also is the FoE SPICE model & methodology (derived from the book Firms of Endearment (FoE)) with data insights on 19 publicly listed companies stacked against FoE companies. Additionally, a seven-point strategic framework is offered on how to achieve stakeholder marketing.
