The changing nature of innovation-based social marketing programs - the case of health promotion programs.
Journal Title: Manager Journal - Year 2017, Vol 25, Issue
Abstract
Social marketing favoured, since its inception, the field of health promotion - designing programs to help change unhealthy behaviours was one of the primary drivers of this area of practice. On the other hand, the need to have a better-informed citizenry on medical and health-related issues was a constant requirement of the medical professional - better informed and knowledgeable people would more easily “adhere” to the social marketing programs. The health literacy imperative is today outpaced by the advance of the Internet-based technologies - Google health search solutions, Microsoft specific products targeting patients or IBM’s Dr Watson suite. Based on this disrupting innovation which involves the realm of the patient-doctor relationship, how shall social marketing programs innovate?
