The field of marketing science has a rich history of modeling marketing
phenomena using the disciplines of economics, statistics, operations
research, and other related fields. Since it is roughly 50 years from
its origins, The History of Marketing Science is a timely review of the
accomplishments of marketing scientists in a number of research
areas.Different research areas of marketing science, such as Pricing,
Internet Marketing, Diffusion Models, and Advertising, are treated to a
highly readable and easy-to-digest historical analysis by the
contributing authors. Each chapter provides a chronological timeline of
key historical developments in the area of marketing science covered.
Readers of other disciplinary backgrounds outside of economics,
statistics, and operations research will be more than able to appreciate
the development of marketing science as a field of research and its
pioneers through the book.
