Applying a systems perspective to marketing motivation

Discusses how behavioural scientists have produced a multitude of data on complexities of consumer motivation – but states the sheer diversity of approach is making it difficult for decision‐makers to draw meaningful conclusions. Submits that the correct line of advance lies with a systems perspective. Examines Newton's Law of Motion to demonstrate how physics may be used to draw generalisation about activity in consumer systems. Purports that the important point here is that physics is not being applied to social systems, but rather it is parallel principles of cause and effect, which may be utilised, to facilitate the comprehension of these forces affecting behaviour in social systems. Concludes that what is needed to analyse available knowledge applicable to consumer motivation is a conceptual scheme which can serve as a frame of reference for marketing decision makers.

The Reciprocal Relation of Soil and Insects

The soil is an integral factor in the study of many biological problems. The importance of this has been recognized by the agronomist, the botanist, and the chemist. The zoologist, and particularly the entomologist, on the other hand, have not given the soil the consideration necessary to an understanding of many of the fundamental animal activities. This was brought to the writers' attention in connection with a study of subterranean insects which attack the roots of crops; and the present paper, which might be termed a preliminary survey of the field of soil entomology, is an attempt to review some of the work which has been done along this line and to suggest the scope and possibilities of future research. While the literature on soils and soil insects is voluminous, little effort has been made to systematize or correlate the data. It is only within recent years that the entomologist has recognized the fact that the basis of entomological study is insect behavior, which in turn is a response to the influence of the environmental complex. In other words, we now have the application of the principle of cause and effect, and the entomologist is no longer confined to insects, but investigates all factors which influence their activities. The soil offers a multiplicity of problems which are of direct interest to the entomologist. It is the home of a vast series of insects either during their entire life or some portion of it. It affords shelter and protection to another large group. In addition, being the medium for plant growth, it becomes a factor in the food supply of insects. Distribution, relative abundance, and seasonal activities of insects may be correlated with certain soil conditions. Finally, a knowledge of soils is fundamental to the development of many control measures. On the other hand, while insect life is largely dependent on the soil, there is also a reciprocal relation, since the soil is benefited by the presence of insects.
