Abstract
European city systems belong to different sovereign territories. Apart from that, geographical location and cultural sharing may become drawbacks for cross-border cooperation (CBC) projects in Eurocities. In this regard, the marketing research is perceived as a recommendation and does not become the basis of territorial development strategies. However, marketing and advertising are critical factors that can influence the CBC success. Thus, the impact of cooperative marketing forms in the CBC societies was analysed in five Iberian Eurocities, considering not only a literature review, data evaluation and visits to the areas of study, but also the analysis of experts and perceptions of main actors related to the CBC process. This study allowed to assess and determine how factors of marketing and advertising influence the regional development. Regions with more territorial success were identified and the data obtained provided a sustainable basis on how to use marketing and advertising tools for the cross-border regions development.
期刊介绍:
EJIM is the first international journal devoted entirely to fostering an understanding of issues in international management theory and practice in the newly expanded European arena – including the underrepresented regions of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe – and to providing both conceptual and functional implications useful for the further development of research, teaching practices, and managerial techniques. EJIM also solicits literature that allows for a broader interpretation of research – it welcomes not only papers which adhere to the most common research standards (i.e., largely based on hypothesis testing using quantitative methods), but also those that introduce a more European perspective through qualitative and interdisciplinary contributions.
