Welcome to The New Normal: Life After The Chaos - Proceedings of the 2023 AMS Annual Conference, New Orleans, LA, USA, May 17-19, 2023

Change is the only constant that marketers deal with on a regular basis. However, the recent pandemic brought about change for every individual on the planet. It not only brought about changes to technology, but it also reshaped the thinking of consumers and organizations through behavioral and cultural shifts in the market. This volume provides new insights and ideas in marketing research, theory, and practice as we continue to adapt to the new normal world post-pandemic. It provides success stories and regional case studies to offer marketers new ways in which to serve consumers and satisfy their needs. Featuring papers presented at the 2023 Academy of Marketing Science Annual Conference in New Orleans, LA, USA, this book discusses various areas of marketing, each serving as a pillar supporting the overall structure of contemporary marketing built with shared knowledge and aimed toward the future with informed optimism.
