Innovation and Growth Strategies in Marketing

2015 ANZMAC Conference

  • 30 November-2 December | Sydney, Australia
  • Doctoral Colloquium, 28-29 November 2015

CALL FOR PAPERS

As growth becomes a strategic priority for many organisations in a post GFC era, there is a growing realisation of the importance of an ‘outside-in’ rather than an ‘inside-out’ strategy. This outside-in strategy starts with the customer at the centre; is embodied in the creation of value for new and existing customers and often eventuates in the creative destruction of existing lines of products and services by the introduction of consumer centric innovations. Companies like Amazon, Apple and P&G have reaped rich dividends following such a strategy and have grown exponentially while their competitors have languished. However, in spite of the consumer-centricity of such strategies, evidence suggests that marketing departments within these organisations, and in turn marketing academia, play surprisingly little role in their development and implementation. ANZMAC 2015 will explore the important role that marketing can play in the growth phase of an organisation. The School of Marketing at UNSW invites you to attend the ANZMAC Conference in 2015 in the picturesque yet globally cosmopolitan city of Sydney, minutes away from the world famous Bondi Beach, to be a part of this exciting conversation on the role of innovation and growth strategies in marketing.
