Journal of Global Scholars of Marketing Science:
Contribution of Philosophy to the Advancement of Marketing Thought
Extended Submission Deadline: March 31, 2013
The word ¡®philosophy¡¯ derives from the ancient Greek ¡®philosophia¡¯, literally translated as ¡°the love of wisdom¡±. According to the Oxford dictionary definition, ¡°philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence, especially when considered as an academic discipline¡±. The marketing concept and the related schools of thought seem to emerge as a part of the infinite philosophy continuum where ¡°wisdom¡± is viewed as a form of marketing knowledge (Sheth, Gardner and Garrett, 1988). Given that contemporary marketing science was shaped after the mid-20th century, it has been restricted by the guiding principles of realism, logical empiricism and positivism (Morgan, 1996; Jones and Monieson, 1990). However, as our world evolves and the marketing discipline enters into maturity, a more integrated approach to marketing and consumer behavior becomes necessary to adapt to the emerging postmodern challenge (Brown, 1993). At the same time, in the turmoil of unprecedented socioeconomical change, marketing thought and practice increasingly needs to embrace humanistic values and re-examine its very nature, by adopting a philosophical approach.
It is important to reconsider the boundaries of marketing thought in terms of individual and organizational market and social interactions (Shaw and Jones, 2005). Nowadays, governments, citizens and organizations become increasingly concerned about ethical and environmental issues, related to corporate business strategy, parallel to a trend towards a human-centric society. Despite this tendency, the degree and type of impact that philosophy has had on marketing remains relatively underexplored. Hence, a need to address marketing concerns and thoughts from a philosophical aspect has emerged, which will be addressed by the papers in this special issue.
The Journal of Global Scholars of Marketing Science: Bridging Asia and the World (JGSMS) is a quarterly journal that publishes original and peer-reviewed papers that significantly contribute to the overall advancement of marketing theory, research, and practice. JGSMS endeavors to be a ¡°global bridge¡± connecting marketing scholars and readers in Asia with various parts of the globe. ¡®Bridging Asia and the World¡¯ is the position statement of JGSMS.
