Abstract

Many trends are shaping the future of marketing theory and the theory of the markets in the contemporary era. These trends are based on the general domi- nant shifts in value-generating phenomena within markets and the new spaces of convergence within the sociological structures of the markets. The major shifts can be described based on a general and fundamental emerging new reality of an evolu- tion from the atomistic Weltanschauung of value perception of products based on the goods-dominant-logic (GDL) towards a bits and data dominated, ubiquitously interconnected and global market of the contemporary Anthropocene age. In essence, the conglomeration of these developments is found within foundational and struc- tural societal shifts, such as; the developments of artificial intelligence (AI) and data science, a global consumer movement for sustainability, the changing global market requiring a quick response from the marketers and the limitations of tradi- tional marketing science to cope with these new challenges. The chapter addresses these issues and develops a unified theoretical framework for marketing and the new markets in the contemporary era.
