Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionScientificpeer-review

Abstract

The purpose of market representations is to organize mental models of markets by highlighting some of its aspects, while neglecting others. This paper offers a classification device of market representations based in the practice of market research. An interpretative exploration of what constitutes a market representation is offered. This exploration illustrates the process of objectification of what counts, or not, as a market. The typology of markets reveals six dimensions: 1) demand, 2) social environment, 3) practices, 4) business categories, 5) stakeholders, and 6) self-selected constituency of interest.
