CALL FOR PAPERS :: Special Issue on Marketing Trends and Sustainable Development
Cohen (2021) states that "the approach of trend studies in conjunction with culture studies provides an interesting insight into the analysis of marketing strategies, as cultural representations that manifest mentalities present in the spirit of the times (... ) and that the recurrence of patterns related to sustainability present in manifestations of the sphere of technology, and their application in the map of mentalities of technology and trends reinforce the importance of this topic in contemporary society" (p. 146).
Sustainable development is strategic in the industry in general, which is why authors such as Ferreira, Pereira & Simões (2021) have, for example, recognized its importance in the hotel industry as well as the importance of defining strategies to stimulate the adoption of ecological practices by hotels. The authors suggest identifying all the factors that facilitate and hinder the adoption of green strategies. On the other hand, they recommend that hotels invest in sustainable communication strategies to increase environmental awareness.
Almeida, Proença & Ferreira (2021), who studied the theme of this special issue, point out that "in the last 10 years (2010-2020), bibliometric studies have addressed this area with a focus on sustainable development, innovation in design and services, corporate social responsibility, business networks, customer relationships, and business models" (p. 121).
Studies reconciling marketing trends and sustainable development in both Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B) relationships are an opportunity to develop the literature.
