An Important Review on Marketing Issue

Abstract

Heather Wardle*

An important aim of this special issue is to contribute to the interdisciplinary research literature on marketing and accounting. This is important also from a practical point of view since both the marketing and accounting functions are often ‘under attack’ within companies. Drawing on previous research and the individual contributions to the special issue, we identify and discuss three important themes related to the marketing–accounting interface in a changed business landscape: developing the marketing–accounting interface by including and handling important qualitative aspects; developing the marketing–accounting interface by handling and including inter-organisational issues and processes; and developing the marketing–accounting interface by analysing the translation from value creation processes to the monetary dimension.
