商品描述

This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of consumerism issues in the textile, apparel and fashion industry, illustrating the impact of consumerism on the sector with a focus on SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.

The book presents a synthesis of mainstream and emerging thinking and studies on green, ethical, social and environmental issues. Currently, marketing practices place emphasis on sustainability and social responsibility. Although corporate strategies embrace this notion by claiming to be socially responsible and environmentally friendly, the truth is still debatable. In light of this, scholars and practitioners need to effectively and convincingly respond to consumer concerns on sustainability by adapting their business practices.

Split into seven parts, the Handbook covers theoretical challenges on sustainable consumerism in the apparel industry, the influence of sustainable consumerism, conceptual frameworks and cross-cultural consumer behaviour, macro and micro issues, innovative trends, and communication. With discussion of pressing issues such as modern slavery, greenwashing, social media, luxury consumption and sustainable development, the book also illustrates the practical implications from a marketing and production point of view in this sector.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本手冊全面概述了紡織、服裝和時尚產業中的消費主義問題,並以SDG 12:負責任消費和生產為焦點,說明了消費主義對該行業的影響。

本書綜合了主流和新興思想以及研究成果,探討了綠色、倫理、社會和環境問題。目前,市場營銷實踐強調可持續性和社會責任。儘管企業戰略聲稱具有社會責任和環境友好性,但事實仍有爭議。鑑於此,學者和從業人員需要有效且有說服力地回應消費者對可持續性的關切,並調整他們的業務實踐。

本手冊分為七個部分,涵蓋了服裝業可持續消費主義的理論挑戰、可持續消費主義的影響、概念框架和跨文化消費行為、宏觀和微觀問題、創新趨勢以及溝通。書中討論了現代奴隸制、綠色洗白、社交媒體、奢侈品消費和可持續發展等迫切問題,並從市場營銷和生產的角度說明了在該行業中的實際影響。
