Etnomarketing, la dimensión cultural del marketing
Abstract
En este artículo se propone una nueva y revolucionaria aproximación conceptual denominada etnomarketing. Reafirmando el carácter contextual del marketing, en el cual la cultura es vista como la guía del éxito empresarial, se presentan las características del etnomarketing. Primero, se describen los principales rasgos del etnomarketing, enfatizando sus fundamentos epistemológicos: la etnicidad, el etnoconsumo, la dimensión cultural++ de los mercados y las culturas organizacionales orientadas a estos. Segundo, se mencionan los postulados del etnomarketing. Tercero, se muestra la matriz estratégica del etnomarketing, resaltando las tres funciones de este: comprender consumidores, conquistar compradores y conservar clientes. Cuarto, se precisan las interrelaciones entre el etnomarketing y la organización. Quinto, se explican las mutuas influencias entre la etnografía y el etnomarketing. Sexto, se registran las principales fortalezas del etnomarketing. Finalmente, se sugieren algunas implicaciones del etnomarketing en la investigación académica.
