Given the scale and speed of digital disruption in today’s industry, marketing academics face ongoing challenges of addressing the theory–practice gap, which will only accelerate. The purpose of the current study is to gain a better understanding of the current state of digital/social media marketing and analytics education through a review of past pedagogical research in the realm of digital/social media marketing and marketing analytics. The collected database ( N = 54) was analyzed based on their category and scope, and sub-themes within each category. Our findings indicate that while business schools have been diligent in introducing important skill sets to their curriculum, the approach has been predominately tactical, rather than driven by an overarching strategic plan. Based on the findings, we discuss the implications for marketing educators and directions for future research that can help bridge the theory–practice gap as we proceed in the future data-driven digital environments.","PeriodicalId":46987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marketing Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47859905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advances in technology are racing ahead of clear terminology. The definitions of Public Relations (PR) and Advertising are being widened to encompass more digital activities and this turf war is causing confusion within the industry, the academic world, and the classroom. This article addresses the need for more research on teaching social media marketing from a strategic perspective based on Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) objectives. It explores the use of the Paid/Owned/Earned Media (POEM) framework as a form of engaged pedagogy and part of the Active Blended Learning framework. Adopting a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, 40 student applications of the POEM framework were analyzed, and the results indicate that it enables students to identify activities within an integrated campaign and their impact on the customer journey. These results were supported by a qualitative analysis of the views of three experienced educators in this field. It is proposed that the application of classifications, such as Paid, Owned, and Earned media, are more useful when teaching social media marketing within IMC than the classifications of Advertising and PR.","PeriodicalId":46987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marketing Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48914568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The dynamic nature of social media makes it difficult for even practitioners to keep up; therefore, the gap between academia and industry continues to grow. This gap presents significant challenges for marketing educators to keep course content current so students are ready for the workforce. To identify which types of social media pedagogical assessments best meet industry needs and make recommendations for bridging this gap, this article uses a three-study approach consisting of content analysis of job descriptions, practitioner interviews, and student perceptions of two commonly used pedagogical assessments: simulations and client-based projects. Results show the critical need for social media meta-skills and technical skills, with client-based projects significantly improving meta-skill acquisition by undergraduate students compared with simulations alone. Practical implications for helping educators improve market-ready graduates for entry-level jobs with a social media component are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marketing Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49188550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these gaps in the literature, this article conceptualizes a Classroom-run Virtual Startup Incubator (CVSI) program as a virtual learning space for seamless collaboration, networking and relationship building among multiple stakeholders across borders to inspire students to create startups and marketing alliances in marginalized communities. This article extends the KNOW-DO-BE model to include the OPERATE dimension to encourage innovation, experimentation, failure, and collaboration opportunities among the participants on the CVSI platform. Also, the study shows that relational/network approaches such as the resource dependence theory are important lenses for understanding participants’ experiences on the CVSI platform. These theoretical contributions are based on the analysis of the qualitative case studies gathered from the experiential learning experiences of students and mentors who participated in the CVSI program.","PeriodicalId":46987,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Marketing Education","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45453831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moscato, Ann-Marie Kennedy","doi":"10.1177/02734753221101758","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/02734753221101758","url":null,"abstract":"We need to “hack the system” to infuse environmental and social issues into marketing education. This requires reconfiguration and restructuring of marketing education, as expectations of key stakeholders—students, businesses, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), governments, communities, and the environment—have changed to demand social impact and systemic thinking. However, pressing collectivewell-being issues, which treat each person as a whole within their context, are still underrepresented in the curricula. Climate change, pandemics, racism, discrimination, social justice, poverty, mental health, and capitalism, along with political tension and division, are the top issues among young adults today (Annie & Casey Foundation, 2021; Jenkins & Galvin, 2020). Such change implores educators and marketers to engage in macro-level thinking in the traditionally taught managerialist (micro) subject of marketing. The largescale action required for curriculum change is only possible with equally substantial changes in mindset. Through a Macromarketing lens, marketing educators can hack the system and create real change. They can do this by overhauling the marketing micromanagement rhetoric that currently dominates the curricula of business schools. Macromarketing is the study of marketing systems. Specifically, Macromarketing considers the functioning of marketing systems and how these marketing systems interact with society (Hunt, 1981). By focusing on this interaction, Macromarketing scholars have investigated a range of outcomes, such as (a) the effects of externalities (costs or benefits of economic activities experienced by “unrelated” third parties), (b) economic development, (c) poverty alleviation, (d) globalization, (e) sustainability (including consumption), (f) quality of life, (g) distributive justice, (h) consumer vulnerability, (i) natural and human-induced disasters, and (j) marketing ethics and responsibility (DeQuero-Navarro et al., 2020). The “purpose of Macromarketing is to save the world” (Fisk, 2001, p. 121), that is, to envision a sustainable, ethical, peaceful, and equitable world. Thus, key to Macromarketing is sustainability—in its broadest and most holistic definition (Mittelstaedt et al., 2014). It is with this in mind that we introduce this special issue on Hacking the System: Sustainability and Macromarketing in Marketing Education. The aim of this special issue is to add to available resources with scholarship on envisioning, proposing, and providing evidence for “hacking” marketing education for the benefit of society, students, business, and educators. To introduce this special issue, we begin by exploring the status quo of marketing education and efforts toward reshaping it through Systems Thinking and Sustainable Education approaches. We argue for a circular economy framework with accountability as an embedded guiding principle.
