The Social Consequences of Marketing: Macromarketing and Public Policy

study of the social consequences of marketing actions, the understanding of the causal factors underlying those consequences, and the analysis of corrective strategy form a central thrust of macromarketing. The analysis of these consequences and the design of appropriate public policy is directly related to macromarketing analysis, while implementation goes beyond its scope. A simple classification of the social consequences of marketing is presented as a basis for elaborating causal factors and for exploring directions for public policy.
