1st Edition
Corporate Heritage Marketing Using the Past as a Strategic Asset
Corporate Heritage Marketing introduces the reader to the design and implementation of a heritage marketing strategy. It aims to propose a new and integrated reading of this marketing strategy, both from a theoretical and a managerial perspective.
This book sets out to answer key questions, such as: how is it possible to engage all the company's stakeholders by exploiting corporate heritage? It also aims to discuss the basic principles for achieving a successful marriage between marketing and heritage. By highlighting the results of a research focused on 20 Italian companies, the book proposes a model for the development and implementation of a heritage marketing strategy.
The nature of this book, being both theoretical and empirical, can contribute to increasing the curiosity and interest towards heritage marketing of both academics and practitioners.
