The final section looks to the future, highlighting key avenues to facilitate further research and carefully outlining that which scholars can unpack to continue broadening existing knowledge of Entrepreneurial Marketing. A truly international collection of industry-specific insights from researchers in the UK, India, Saudi Arabia, Canada, US, Australia, New Zealand and Finland contribute to this handbook on the past, present and future of the Entrepreneurial Marketing interface.

A practical guide to becoming future-ready in the Age of Intelligence&nbsp; The future doesn't arrive all at once-it emerges in signals, patterns, shifts, and stories. Designing the Future is your field guide to making sense of that complexity.&nbsp;In their book&nbsp;SuperShifts, authors Steve Fisher and Ja-Nae Duane&nbsp;mapped the tectonic transformations reshaping society. And now, in their new work&nbsp;Designing the Future,&nbsp;they demonstrate how to take&nbsp;the next step: how to apply foresight methods to your life, your work, and your organization.&nbsp; Designing the Future&nbsp;isn't&nbsp;about trying to predict&nbsp;the specifics of&nbsp;tomorrow. That's impossible. It's about preparing for possibility today. It explores&nbsp;what it's like to practice futures thinking in real time, helping you discover what kind of futurist you are: a signal spotter, a systems mapper, a storyteller, or a strategist. Whether you're a leader, innovator, or curious learner, you'll build the confidence to see change early and respond with clarity.&nbsp; The book revisits the Macrohistory and the Ages and Eras Theory, tracing long arcs of civilizational change&nbsp;that include the Ages of Faith, Industry, Machines, Digital, and now the Age of Intelligence. It shows you how to understand the past so you can navigate the&nbsp;future, revealing how today's disruptions connect to centuries-long patterns of transformation.&nbsp; Fisher and Duane dive deep into the Nine SuperShifts:&nbsp;Generational Drift, IntelliFusion, Techceleration, Reality Remix, PowerFlow, EcoAwakening, SocialQuake, World Mosaic, and BioNexus.&nbsp;This time, however, you'll connect them directly to your own domains: your career, your community, your products, and your organizational strategy.&nbsp;They walk you through&nbsp;you how to translate global transformation into personal and professional action.&nbsp; Inside the book:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Understanding Change:&nbsp;Macrohistory and the Ages and Eras Theory, revealing the long arcs of transformation that shape the present and signal the future&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Nine SuperShifts:&nbsp;A deeper exploration of the forces reshaping society, with direct connections to your strategy, work and life&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Spectrum Foresight Framework(TM):&nbsp;A&nbsp;method built for plural futures, as opposed to linear forecasting,&nbsp;able to embrace multiple possibilities and perspectives across ten recursive stages: Scope, Sensing, Shifts, Scenes, Scenarios, Stories, Solutions, Strategy, Scale, and Sustain&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Signals Scanning &amp; Pattern Recognition:&nbsp;Practical methods for detecting weak signals, mapping tensions, and uncovering hidden opportunities&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>World-Building &amp; World-Shaping:&nbsp;Tools to design immersive future scenes, scenarios, and stories that make complexity tangible&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>From Imagination to Action:&nbsp;How to transform foresight into products, solutions, and strategies you can implement now&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Building Foresight Organizations:&nbsp;Frameworks for embedding futures thinking into culture, systems, and decision-making&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li>The Futures Operating System (FOS)(TM):&nbsp;A blueprint for integrating foresight into the rhythms, roles, and tools of your organization&nbsp;</li> </ul> The pace of change is accelerating. AI, climate disruption, demographic shifts, and institutional breakdowns are reshaping the way we live and work.&nbsp;Designing the Future&nbsp;equips you with the tools to not just react&nbsp;-&nbsp;but to lead with foresight. It's a bridge between imagination and execution, helping you move from possibility to practice.

Connect creator-driven influence with commerce media for full-funnel customer activation In Creator Marketing &amp; Commerce Media: How Creators Can Build Brands and Drive Sales, Frank Dudley, a faculty member at Northwestern University and the University of Pennsylvania and the first Director of the IAB, connects two disciplines that have traditionally operated in silos. With the creator economy projected to approach $500 billion and US commerce media and spend expected to reach $118 billion by 2030, this book shows how content, influence and commerce converge to guide customers from awareness to advocacy.&nbsp; The book introduces four original frameworks. The Customer Choice Journey maps the eight decision stages customers actually move through, and the Six Loops show how leading brands run that journey as a continuous system. The Brand-Creator-Retailer Triangle aligns the three partners who shape every purchase, and The Edge identifies the six creator behaviors that decide whether a campaign delivers. Real-world examples include MrBeast's expansion from YouTube into Feastables, Fenty Beauty and CeraVe building trust through creator partnerships, and Walmart Connect's integration of first-party data with off-site campaigns to drive measurable results.&nbsp; Readers will also discover: <ul> <li>Ready-to-use tools, including creator brief and commerce media activation brief templates, the Hook to Proof to CTA mesasging framework, and an ambassador performance scorecard.&nbsp; </li> <li>How retail media networks, TikTok Shop, connected TV, and digital out-of-home advertising amplify creator influence where purchase decisions happen</li> <li>How AI is reshaping creator discovery, content, targeting, and budget planning&nbsp;</li> <li>Methods to measure and defend creator marketing ROI with multi-touch attribution and marketing mix modeling&nbsp;</li> <li>Compliance guidance for the US, EU, China, India, Singapore, and Brazil&nbsp;</li> <li>Case studies from four continents, including Vessi, Perfect Dairy, Duolingo, Gymshark, and Salesforce, spanning both B2C and B2B.&nbsp;</li> </ul> Written for marketers, brand strategists, agency professionals, and advanced undergraduate, graduate, and executive students in marketing and media programs, this book delivers the frameworks and tools that connect creator marketing and commerce media to real business results.&nbsp;

Miss Independent

Sabine Gutzeit verbindet in ihrem Buch durch ihre Doppelrolle als Kommunikationstrainerin und Logopädin erstmals den wichtigen Wert Respekt mit dem ebenso wichtigen Thema Stimme! In ihrem Werk erläutert sie, wie die Stimme - als stärkstes Instrument zwischenmenschlicher Verständigung - entscheidend dazu beiträgt, Respekt nicht nur zu signalisieren, sondern gleichzeitig auch souverän und überzeugend aufzutreten. 
 
 Die Autorin verbindet dabei wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse und praxiserprobte Methoden und greift auf ihre jahrzehntelange Erfahrung als Stimmtrainerin zurück, um ihrer Leserschaft aufzuzeigen, wie sie durch ihre Stimme Vertrauen aufbauen, Konflikte entschärfen und ihr Gegenüber für sich gewinnen kann.
 
 In einer Zeit, in der Empathie und Respekt immer wichtiger, aber gleichzeitig immer seltener werden, liefert dieses Buch den Schlüssel, um auch in schwierigen Gesprächen jederzeit eine respektvolle Haltung und Souveränität zu bewahren. Das Buch bietet dadurch einen klaren Mehrwert für alle Menschen im Business, die sich stimmlich und kommunikativ weiterentwickeln und mit wahrem Respekt interagieren möchten.

Die Stimme als Schlüssel zu respektvoller, souveräner Kommunikation im Business und im Leben
