The Political Economy of Marketing Systems: Reviving the Institutional Approach

This article identifies elements of an institutional approach to marketing to supplement the presently dominant paradigm based on the neoclassical economic theory of resource allocation.

The institutional framework is applied to areas such as comparative marketing and performance indicators for marketing systems.
