From subsistence to highly developed markets characterized by technological advancements, and from tradition to modernity, marketing strategies must remain agile to thrive.

Featuring papers presented at the 25th Academy of Marketing Science’s World Marketing Congress, held for the first time at the Island of Mauritius in West Africa, this proceedings volume presents insights from authors with diverse cultural background offering a comprehensive understanding of marketing on a global and multicultural level.
