Green Marketing and Management in Emerging Markets, with emphasis on the crucial role of people management towards successful implementation, is an invaluable companion to today's marketers. Policymakers, business owners, managers, and HR practitioners, particularly in emerging markets, will benefit from the recommendations in this book. I recommend it to you all. Samuel O Idowu, PhD, Deputy CEO, Global Corporate Governance Institute, UK Adverse environmental impacts such as greenhouse gas emissions and chemical spills have put the topic of green business firmly on the sustainability agenda. Despite the burgeoning literature on green business and green marketing from the globalised north, there is relative parsimony of green business literature in the global south. This book offers a greater understanding of what green marketing is, as well as the various levels of practices and the implementations thereof. It places specific emphasis on the people through which green marketing excellence can be achieved. Contributors argue that, given the complexity of green marketing, effective people management plays a key role in achieving green marketing success, and the chapters consider the role that green human resource management practices play in marketing. Providing a unique perspective on the successful implementation of green marketing, this book is an important resource for students, researchers and practitioners. It is of particular interest to those who desire a greater understanding of how organisations deal internally and externally with increasing pressure to become more socially responsible and embed 'greenness' in all their marketing activities.

This book is an excellent resource for academics and students interested in ethics and accountability in the public sector, as well as for practitioners, NGO workers and policymakers. Over the last decades, issues in ethical leadership have become central to the global call for higher moral standards on the part of corporate organisations and their leaders and managers. The book's chapters investigate these concerns in Africa, where governance gaps often reflect poor leadership. Parenthetically, in 2001, a UNDP report found difficulties in applying anti-corruption laws and managing public institutions in the continent. Twenty years on, significant efforts have been made to improve the situation, yet extensive challenges still subsist. In this first volume, contributors discuss the practice of ethics, anti-corruption, and performance management, and propose solutions, some general to the continent and others country-specific. Kemi Ogunyemi is an Associate Professor. She teaches ethics, anthropology, self-leadership and sustainability at Lagos Business School. She is also the director of the Christopher Kolade Centre for Research in Leadership and Ethics and the academic director for the School's Senior Management Programme.

He is affiliated with the Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State, and his research interest cut across human resources management, organizational behaviour, marketing, and gender studies Professor Robert Ebo Hinson is the Deputy Vice Chancellor-Academic at the University of Kigali. He is also Visiting Professor of Marketing at the Lincoln International Business School, Professor of Marketing at the University of Ghana, and Extraordinary Professor of Marketing at the University of the Free State Business School.

"Evidence shows that the internet is a big equaliser amongst nations. Where people have access to digital technology, lives and livelihoods are sure to improve. There is no doubt in my mind that digital technology remains one of the most powerful keys to unlock Africa's immense potential. This well-timed book shines a much-needed spotlight on what Africa needs to do to take advantage of the possibilities that come with digital technology." -Alistair Mokoena, Country Director: Google South Africa This pioneering book explores how African businesses and organisations leverage social media, digital tools, and platforms to design and deliver products and services that meet market needs, create value, and enhance customer engagement. The book addresses three interrelated topics. First, it offers stimulating discussions on social media as Africa's digital marketplace, the socio-cultural and ethical aspects of social media marketing, the benefits and challenges of social media marketing, and the influence of Facebook usage. Second, it covers issues related to emerging technologies with a focus on digital financial inclusion, fintech, big data in marketing, cryptocurrency, and blockchain. Finally, it provides recommendations on how organisations in Africa can enhance their use of digital tools and platforms to drive efficiency and attain superior performance. The authors of this book share their vast and varied experience for the benefit of researchers, practitioners, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and students who are seeking to understand and exploit opportunities in Africa's digital marketplace.
