In the eye-blink that has elapsed since the turn of the millennium, the lives of those of us who work with information have been utterly transformed. Pretty well all we need to know is on the web; if not today, then tomorrow. It's where we learn and play, shop and do business, keep up with old friends and meet new ones. What makes it possible for us to find the stuff we need to know? Search engines. Search engines - "web dragons" - are the portals through which we access society's treasure trove of information. How do they stack up against librarians, the gatekeepers over centuries past? What role will libraries play in a world whose information is ruled by the web? How is the web organized? Who controls its contents, and how do they do it? How do search engines work? How can web visibility be exploited by those who want to sell us their wares? What's coming tomorrow, and can we influence it? We are witnessing the dawn of a new era, starting right now - and this book shows you what it will look like and how it will change your world. Do you use search engines every day? Are you a developer or a librarian, helping others with their information needs? A researcher or journalist for whom the web has changed the very way you work? An online marketer or site designer, whose career exists because of the web? Whoever you are: if you care about information, this book will open your eyes - and make you blink.

Marketing is under immense pressure to perform: required to submit reports to management, judged by the sales department based on whether it helps sales, scrutinized by financial controlling regarding how efficiently it uses budgets, and last but not least, under constant review by customers, markets and the public. Marketing faces more dilemmas and conflicts of interest than any other part of a company. The reason for this lies in the lack of a plan for marketing planning. This book not only identifies numerous examples of this problem as experienced by businesses, it also offers ways of solving the problem. Ralf Strauss highlights a 7 phase process for marketing planning, where the potential marketing can reach is demonstrated. Useful check lists included in this book allow the readers to readily create their own ‘plans for a marketing planning’. With insights drawn from more than 150 case studies included in the book, Marketing Planning by Design covers areas such as: How to overcome existing hurdles of marketing planning and marketing strategy. How to set up a project for managing the marketing planning cycle. How to develop a really target group and content driven marketing planning, which is stepwise cascaded from a program, campaign down to a tactical level. How to make marketing accountable in terms of performance measurement. How to implement an enhanced marketing planning in the organisation. How to systematically integrate Web 2.0 into marketing planning, or how to link marketing with modern IT.

The internet, web and related information technologies have proven to be transformational. While these technologies have impacted all parts of the corporation, the marketing function has perhaps been most affected. E-marketing is now a significant part of every global corporation's marketing arsenal. As international acceptance of the internet and web increases, the scope of international e-marketing now transitions from possibility to reality. International marketing scholars have followed the transformational impact of the internet/web closely. Several studies in the international e-marketing context have already emerged at the individual consumer (Callow and Lerman, 2003; Dou et al., 2003; Kucuk, 2002; Sing et al., 2004; Waller et al., 2005; papers by Sugai and Gong and McMillan, in this issue) and firm levels (Javalgi et al., 2004; Singh and Kundu, 2002; and papers by Kaynak et al. and Javalgi et al. in this issue). Recognizing the contribution of the work thus far, in this paper, we introduce the in international e-marketing. The IEMF should help the global marketing community shape scholarly inquiry in the domain of international e-marketing, classify current intellectual contributions in this area and delineate the gaps in the literature to focus future research. Moreover, the IEMF should help global e-marketing scholars address the question How is International E-Marketing different from International Marketing? The IEMF is an extension of the framework first introduced in Krishnamurthy (2006) to the international context. An overview of IEMF The IEMF has seven components actors (i.e. those who take e-marketing actions), spaces (i.e. online theaters of engagement), technology form factors (i.e. the idiosyncrasies of information technologies that affect the user experience), country-level cultural factors (i.e. the Hofstedian framework), access to information technologies (or the digital divide), actions and outcomes (behavioral outcomes at firm-level). We now briefly introduce the seven components. Actors Establishing an online presence makes one an international e-marketing actor axiomatically. Since web sites can be accessed across country lines, e-marketing actors exert influence in the country of their origin and across borders. Moreover, companies now routinely create country-level sites to deepen their presence within a country (e.g. Amazon.com has stores in the UK, Canada, France, Japan and Germany). This could create arbitrage opportunities that have not been fully studied, e.g. Amazon.co.uk frequently sells books at a lower delivered price than Amazon.com. Yet, it is not clear if consumers are taking advantage of this. Spaces The conceptualization of spaces is fairly new in the business/management/marketing literature. Rayport and Sviokla (1994) first used the term marketspace and distinguished it from a marketplace. An online space is a theater of engagement between the company and the consumer (Krishnamurthy, 2006). Imp
