Marketing Management and Communications in the Public Sector
The fields of marketing and communication have become increasingly important for modern
public administrations in recent years but the focus on these subjects has been geared
mainly towards the generation of outputs, leaving somewhat behind the analysis and deeper
reflections on the impact they make and their limitations.
This book provides a thorough overview of the major concepts in marketing and
communication which is done by utilizing an exclusive and decisive public-sector approach,
with an unambiguous international outlook. The possibilities and limits of the application
of marketing and communication, from strategic aspects to the more concrete questions of
instruments and implementation, are discussed and if the realities of the public sector
are the key to any understanding of marketing and communication, the international scene
is the only possible ground to do this in.
Aided by a multitude of pedagogical features, Marketing Management and Communications
in the Public Sector is a key read for all students, practitioners and scholars working or
studying in this field.
