CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue of Journal of Global Fashion Marketing on
¡°BEAUTY, AESTHETICS AND DESIGN IN MARKETING¡±
Extended Submission Deadline of Extended Abstract: January 31, 2018
Full Paper Submission Deadline: September 15, 2018
The Journal of Global Fashion Marketing is an official publication
of ¡®Korean Scholars of Marketing Science¡¯ and ¡®Global Alliance of
Marketing & Management Associations¡¯. The Journal of Global
Fashion Marketing will publish a special issue on ¡°BEAUTY,
AESTHETICS AND DESIGN IN MARKETING¡±. This special issue
will provide opportunities to share research findings, innovative
teaching strategies, and concept papers that explore and investigate
issues related to the role played by beauty, aesthetics and design
in marketing.
This special issue seeks to explore and update knowledge on the role
played by beauty, aesthetics and design in consumer behavior
and marketing strategy. The success of technology companies such
as Samsung or Apple – offering not only state-of-the-art products
and functions, but also a design-led customer experience – has
highlighted the importance of design in creating mass-market
successes. Designing products, which are not only functional,
but also aesthetically appealing, is now seen as a prime marketing
strategy, which applies beyond the luxury or fashion industry.
The literature on the subject is rapidly evolving, and by nature
interdisciplinary, combining elements from social, cognitive or
neuro psychology.
Topics may include but are not limited to the following:
The role played by design in successful marketing strategies
The role played by product aesthetics in consumer behavior
Consumers¡¯ perception of design and aesthetics and its role in the consumer decision-making process
The specificity of marketing beauty products
Consumers¡¯ perception of beauty as a distinctive product category
Conceptual frameworks that can serve as research agendas on the topic
Cross-cultural variations in the processing of beauty, design and aesthetics
