QUESTION: Can you give an example of a corporate leader that embraced causal marketing?

ANSWER: Enron and Arthur Anderson’s leaders stand out.

QUESTION: Why do you believe that the leadership of Enron and Arthur Anderson embraced causal marketing?

ANSWER: They personalized the causal model and could no longer differentiate their thinking and actions from that of the masses.

QUESTION: What about other corporations?

ANSWER: You will be able to figure it out yourself after reading this book.

QUESTION: Why do you call the academics in USA low-level corporate suppliers?

ANSWER: Our role is to reinforce and select out those who do not follow the causal model to enter the low level jobs of corporate America.

QUESTION: What about the top business schools?

ANSWER: Their job is to convince other institutions to embrace the causal approach to marketing.

QUESTION: Do top business schools expose their students to a more effective form of marketing?

ANSWER: No, but they understand that the causal approach is ineffective in preparation for leadership positions.

QUESTION: What do they do different with the elite students that the low-level academic suppliers do not do?

ANSWER: The elite follow a mental discipline approach.

QUESTION: What is mental discipline?

ANSWER: It is a theory of learning that proposes that the learner is presented with rigorous learning experiences.

These experiences transfer to life and the student is then capable of tackling difficult tasks.

The belief is that future actions cannot be predicted and preparation is derived from an education that enforces hard work.

QUESTION: Is the mental discipline approach effective in preparing the Ivy League students in leading the causal corporation?

ANSWER: The mental discipline approach has failed to prepare the elite students for positions at the top of the causal corporations.

QUESTION: Why?

QUESTION: What about failure within a particular course or program of study for the elite business programs?

ANSWER: Students are not allowed to fail.

QUESTION: Are you suggesting that females are more emotional than males?

ANSWER: The military academies have had a male criteria for the expression of emotion which has now been challenged as selective.

Teaching Methods

QUESTION: What about the teaching methods in causal marketing?

ANSWER: Tell them and reward with answers that test recall.

QUESTION: What is the method in the Ivy League?

ANSWER: The case approach of the elite business programs emphasizes the ability of a student to support and argue a useless proposition.

QUESTION: What about the student gaining particular knowledge about marketing derived from the case approach?

ANSWER: Remember that the particular knowledge gained in causal marketing is irrelevant when following mental discipline.

QUESTION: Do those at the Ivy League realize that what they are teaching has little to no value connected to an understanding of marketing?

ANSWER: From their educational perspective it is not possible that any particular form of marketing has value.

QUESTION: Why do those in the Ivy League reinforce and support the causal approach to marketing for other institutions?

ANSWER: We supply the workforce and they supply the elite.

QUESTION: Is the case approach within the Ivy League effective?

ANSWER: It is a huge failure.

QUESTION: What about the military academies and there methods of teaching?

ANSWER: The current focus within the classroom in the military academies has been an absolute disaster.

QUESTION: Does the military leadership realize the failure?

QUESTION: Does the leadership of the military have any idea how to change the current calamity?

ANSWER: Much more than the Ivy League.

QUESTION: Do the academic purveyors of causal marketing have any idea of their role as low level corporate suppliers?

ANSWER: To assure compliance current marketing professors are selected and screened in marketing doctorial programs.

QUESTION: How does causal marketing assure that all marketing doctoral programs followed their model of consumption?

ANSWER: Followers of causal marketing developed national marketing accreditation standards which force causal compliance.

QUESTION: Are these compliance standards successful?

ANSWER: Anyone who could not or would not comply was devalued and viewed as a road-block to accreditation.

QUESTION: How is this accomplished?

ANSWER: Publishing in causal marketing journals is limited only to their perspective and criteria.

QUESTION: Will a causal marketing journal allow another approach to marketing to be published?

ANSWER: No.

QUESTION: Why not?

ANSWER: This is all they know and where their current rewards are derived.

QUESTION: Why propose an alternative to current causal marketing for the low level corporate workforce?

ANSWER: The answer for me is individual, ethnic, and universal.

Individual

QUESTION: How is it individual?

ANSWER: As an individual marketing professor I have felt the wrath and sting of searching for alternatives not followed by causal marketing.

Although I am a professor of marketing my academic background is from outside of academic marketing and business education.

I was not socialized by causal marketing professors but from what may be termed a liberal arts approach.

My academic socialization required much broader skill sets and approaches that I attempted to bring to causal marketing.

I then chose to explore and develop my own understandings of marketing.

I came to understand causal marketing as destructive because it made their followers powerless.

Ethnic

QUESTION: How is it ethnic?

ANSWER: My background is Irish and English.

I learned and was taught through family, culture, and religion with stories, poetry, and myths while facing an American education system that was causal, separating, and hierarchical.

I saw myself and other Irish Americans left out of the societal rewards and punished for a different way of understanding.

I chose to figure out what was happening and why were the Irish suffering.

QUESTION: Is this only an Irish issue?

ANSWER: For me understanding begins through the ethnic.

Universal

QUESTION: What about the universal?

ANSWER: When we transcend the ethnic to the universal we can see that we are not alone.

I do not see this now as an Irish issue but of human preservation.

At the universal level actions become less individual and ethnic.

QUESTION: What do you mean by human preservation?

ANSWER: Learning from the many forms of consumption created by humanity can benefit us all.

QUESTION: Why don’t the followers of other forms of marketing consumption just embrace the causal approach?

ANSWER: To do so comes with a loss of cultural identity and story.

QUESTION: Do those who have been trained and rewarded with low level corporate positions understand their vulnerability?

ANSWER: When the job ends they are alone.

QUESTION: What do you mean they are alone?

ANSWER: The followers of causal marketing are led to believe that job loss is their fault.

QUESTION: How?

ANSWER: They no longer have the specific education that is required.

Their skills are outdated.

The survival of the corporation comes first.

Their job is now to be outsourced.

They are now obsolete.

QUESTION: Why does causal marketing marginalize other forms of marketing?

ANSWER: All selected forms of consumption reflect the identity of the followers story.

QUESTION: Will the causal approach bring about a more equitable distribution of wealth for the masses?

ANSWER: The causal approach is exclusive.

QUESTION: What do mean the causal approach is exclusive?

ANSWER: Followers become replaceable and separate parts of the low level corporate machine.

QUESTION: Is the causal approach inclusive?

ANSWER: Of course not.

QUESTION: What do you mean by separate parts?

ANSWER: “Division of labor creates wealth”, Adam Smith 1776.
“Divide and conquer”.

QUESTION: Can the causal approach be identified with any group?

ANSWER: It is the creation of a secular form of consumption to incorporate the masses.

QUESTION: Do you mean that a separate group controls the prevailing form of causal marketing?

ANSWER: Yes, the causal followers are controlled through the linear.

QUESTION: What happens to the masses that cannot adjust to the linear causal approach?

ANSWER: There lives are difficult to understand and value outside of the causal context.

Linear

QUESTION: How do you define linear?

ANSWER: The idea that life can be organized into a predictable sequence of actions.

QUESTION: Who are the linear followers of causal marketing?

ANSWER: Those that continue to embrace an continuous sequence of actions.

QUESTION: Do all cultures and nations have individuals who are more adapt at the linear?

ANSWER: The most willing followers of the linear corporate system are those who have no alternative.

QUESTION: What do you mean no alternatives?

ANSWER: Those who must adjust to any form of work to survive.

QUESTION: Is this the colonial model?

ANSWER: Yes.

QUESTION: Do we follow the colonial model in America?

ANSWER: The American approach was understood to be an improvement on the colonial model.

QUESTION: What is the difference between the colonial model of workforce configuration and the American model?

ANSWER: The colonial model included the exploitation of raw materials from colonies that were converted into manufactured goods by the poor within there own nation.

QUESTION: What was different about America?

ANSWER: The idea was to move the poor from Europe to the USA so that both the raw materials and manufacturing were in the same location.

QUESTION: Was this successful?

ANSWER: Very successful.

QUESTION: What was one of the major challenges of this new colonial adaptation?

ANSWER: The ethnic poor refused to be exploited and demanded to participate in the mass creation of wealth.

QUESTION: Who was this ethnic group?

ANSWER: The Irish.

QUESTION: How did the British created colonial model react to this threat from the Irish in America?

ANSWER: Bringing in the ethnic poor from other European nations.

QUESTION: What did this achieve?

ANSWER: The Irish had competition that would continue to do the linear manufacturing jobs without question.

QUESTION: How did this American form of colonialism keep the new ethnic groups from demanding more wealth like the Irish?

ANSWER: The threat of opening the American labor force to the Chinese.

QUESTION: What happened?

ANSWER: The European ethnic groups went insane and began to rise up against the Chinese.

QUESTION: Why the focus on the Chinese rather than on the few beneficiaries of American wealth?

ANSWER: The Chinese were a real threat to the ethnic European labor force because they would work harder and longer for much less than any European ethnic group.

QUESTION: Did the Chinese frighten the ethnic Europeans into submission to linear manufacturing?

ANSWER: All European ethnic groups now began to organize themselves against the Chinese and the beneficiaries of industry.

QUESTION: What happened when the ethnic European labor was rallied against the Chinese?

ANSWER: The American government implemented the Chinese exclusion laws to attempt to prevent a coalition of poor European ethnic power.

The Chinese were prevented from attaining citizenship.

QUESTION: Was it successful?

ANSWER: Poor European ethnic power realizing their vulnerability created unions as a counterbalance.

QUESTION: Did unions have any impact on the causal approach to labor?

ANSWER: Management fought labor with great violence.

QUESTION: Who led this early labor movement?

ANSWER: The Irish.

QUESTION: Why did the poor European labor continue to fight?

ANSWER: There choice was starve or fight.

QUESTION: Why did they believe that they would be starved to death?

ANSWER: The Irish were starved to death in Ireland and it was obvious that this could happen again in America.

QUESTION: Did American labor win concessions?

ANSWER: Economic concessions were achieved but the linear structure of causal consumption remained intact.

QUESTION: How was this achieved?

ANSWER: The children of ethnic Europeans were now prepared for low level corporate careers by a linear public school system.

QUESTION: Are you suggesting that public education is linear to prepare the masses of ethnic Europeans to enter low level corporate careers?

ANSWER: Now you know another secret.

QUESTION: Are there any ethnic groups that can more easily adapt to a linear corporate environment?

ANSWER: The greater their desperation or hate of the other the more they are adaptive.

QUESTION: Does American industry and government continued to bring in a new labor force that will embrace the brutality of a causal linear approach to mass consumption?

ANSWER: Yes, applying the Chinese model of the 19th century they are withholding citizenship to this new labor force.

QUESTION: Who are they now?

ANSWER: Undocumented immigrants.

QUESTION: What is the advantage of not having to offer citizenship to undocumented immigrants?

ANSWER: The undocumented will work without the social safety net demanded by US citizens.

The undocumented can be returned home with much less political impact.

QUESTION: What about the many American corporations that are sending causal mass manufacturing to more impoverished areas of the world?

ANSWER: The current undocumented immigrants are only to fill jobs that continue to have a high need for cheep labor within the USA.

QUESTION: For example?

ANSWER: Farm and manufacturing labor.

QUESTION: Does linear corporate American now realize that continual legal immigration has failed?

ANSWER: Because of global business challenges the American linear corporate adaptation of the colonial model of bringing the labor force to the USA is now deemed to be outdated.

We still pay far less for cheep labor outside of the USA than illegal labor in the USA.

Illegal labor started with a real demand for agricultural workers.  Other corporations jumped in and wanted to incur the same savings.

In my view particular political groups were happy to see this happening because of the destruction of labor unions. You will have to figure this out for yourself.

QUESTION: What will now happen to the demands for greater participation in wealth creation by current ethnic European Americans?

ANSWER: We will led to discover a new labor force that strikes fear.

QUESTION: Has it started?

ANSWER: Undocumented immigrants now strike real fear?

QUESTION: Why?

ANSWER: There are sleeper terrorists among them.

QUESTION: Who will protect us from this fear?

ANSWER: The government will hunt down and return the terrorist to where they belong.

QUESTION: What about the idea that we are a society that welcomes the world?

ANSWER: They will be welcome to stay home.

QUESTION: Will this bring about a new union movement in the USA?

ANSWER: Not if the government and corporate elite can stop it.

QUESTION: Will the Irish fight again?

ANSWER: They have forgotten the famine.

QUESTION: Is there another ethnic group that will take the lead?

ANSWER: Yes.

QUESTION: Who are they?

ANSWER: Black Americans.

QUESTION: Will the European ethnic groups follow?

ANSWER: Not at first.

QUESTION: What will convince them to follow?

ANSWER: The continual destruction of the European ethnic middle class.

QUESTION: Where will this dissatisfaction manifest itself with the ethnic European Americans?

ANSWER: When the young of the ethnic European Americans realize what has been done to them to acquire a higher education.

QUESTION: What is happening to the young of the European ethnic Americans who acquire a higher education?

ANSWER: The European ethnic young are burdened with an insurmountable debt to pay off higher education loans.

QUESTION: What is the average debt?

ANSWER: Millions of the European ethnic youth owe from 35 to 120 thousand dollars in student higher education loans.

QUESTION: Why not get a good job and pay off the loans?

ANSWER: The low level corporate jobs that they have been trained to take are declining.

QUESTION: What will the European ethnic youth do when they cannot pay the higher education loans?

ANSWER: Get their parents to pay.

QUESTION: What will this do to the parents?

ANSWER: The ethnic European parents may again start to believe that they will be starved to death.

QUESTION: How will the government and story elite react to the ethnic European middle class?

ANSWER: Blame the parents for raising lazy and greedy children.
Blame undocumented immigrants. Blame terrorists.

QUESTION: Has this worked in the past?

ANSWER: Yes.

QUESTION: What will help the ethnic Europeans to continue to comply?

ANSWER: The belief that they are giving their children a better life.

QUESTION: Would you think that the ethnic Europeans will continue to believe that it is more egalitarian to reward based on an affinity to embrace linear mass consumption rather than other historic affiliations?

ANSWER: Linear mass consumption is viewed as creating industrial order and stability for all.

QUESTION: Why worry about other forms of consumption in marketing?

ANSWER: Let my people go.

QUESTION: Are you suggesting that a linear approach to marketing is not even effective on linear thinkers?

ANSWER: There are just too many variables for linear causal marketing to create messages that can predict an action to be followed.

QUESTION: Do you believe that if linear causal marketing took a different approach to marketing that they would be more effective?

ANSWER: The fear is that if causal marketing changes power will shift.

QUESTION: Will followers strive to improve causal marketing?

ANSWER: There is no interest in causal marketing being effective or ineffective.

QUESTION: Are you saying that those in causal marketing do not try to improve their understanding and capabilities in marketing?

ANSWER: To maintain our relative positions we are unable to stray into areas outside of a causal framework.

QUESTION: Is this why current academics and practitioners cannot allow alternative approaches to enter marketing?

ANSWER: You decide.

QUESTION: Will marketing ever embrace an approach other than causal marketing?

ANSWER: Perhaps if the personal and collective greed of causal marketing interferes with our sense of self-protection.

QUESTION: Why personal and collective greed?

ANSWER: It is a human frailty to continue to take to the point where we become corrupted and irrelevant.

When the desperation to maintain power becomes obvious people disconnect.

QUESTION: When the followers of causal marketing become desperate to maintain power why not just include another approach?

ANSWER: Linear marketing proponents may embrace new terms in causal marketing but their story, actions and methodology will not change.

QUESTION: Why will their actions and methodology remain?

ANSWER: Separation is all they know.

QUESTION: How do you explain the phenomenon that people may give overlapping answers to identify the reasons for a purchase?

ANSWER: This has more to do with our system of asking questions rather than common meaning.

QUESTION: Can questions be asked that force similar answers?

ANSWER: Of course.

QUESTION: Why?

ANSWER: It is how causal marketing identifies meaning.

QUESTION: Why does causal marketing strive for similarity of meaning?

ANSWER: It is the philosophical underpinning of their story.

QUESTION: Is this good or bad?

ANSWER: It is defended and perpetuated.

QUESTION: Why?

ANSWER: Rewards and punishments.

QUESTION: Are there other reasons for answers that we give?

ANSWER: Socially acceptable answers are preferred.

QUESTION: What do you mean by a socially accepted answer?

ANSWER: An answer that reinforces a story.

QUESTION: How do we learn to give socially acceptable answers?

ANSWER: In causal marketing we seek and give answers that will bring rewards.

QUESTION: Are these answers true?

ANSWER: Answers are orchestrated to create a particular response.

QUESTION: Is this approach derived from behavioral science where it does not matter what the person is thinking but only their response?

ANSWER: For those in causal marketing complexity of thought is irrelevant.

QUESTION: What is success?

ANSWER: Success is in the action that is taken.

QUESTION: What is wrong with the idea that the measure of success in causal marketing is in an action?

ANSWER: Causal marketing cannot deliver any results.

QUESTION: Are you saying that causal marketing is another devise to gain ethnic story control?

ANSWER: The linear often believe that if they have control there will be world peace.

QUESTION: Do all ethnic configurations believe that they can bring stability and order to the world?

ANSWER: It is the endless conflict of the use of the ethnic story against the other.

QUESTION: Can you give an example?

ANSWER: In communist countries all equally share wealth. I do not think this is true for their social elite.

In capitalist nations all individuals have an equal chance of success. I do not think this is true for the working and middle classes.

QUESTION: Is the concept of the universal in causal marketing only a deception?

ANSWER: From a causal marketing point-of-view universal marketing is an attempt to influence mass decision-making across ethnic story  boundaries.

QUESTION: What is the difference between causal marketing and any other configuration?

ANSWER: Nothing, because they also separate themselves from the other.

QUESTION: What are causal marketing followers trained to do?

ANSWER: Followers are trained to restrict and devalue anything or anyone that is outside of their understanding of consumption.

QUESTION: What other benefits are thought to be derived from the causal marketing approach?

Business does not have the same biases as national, political, ethnic, or religious groups.

Efficiencies are derived from continual specialization and separation.

QUESTION: Do the followers of causal marketing believe that these outcomes are true?

ANSWER: We follow rewards and avoid punishments.

QUESTION: Is that bad?

ANSWER: It depends on your position and rewards if it is good or bad.

QUESTION: Do we require an accurate understanding of the story of others to destroy them?

ANSWER: Rarely, if ever.

QUESTION: Why do we refuse to portray an accurate understanding of the stories of others?

ANSWER: The stories of others are dangerous and if they are understood they may be incorporated creating a change in our story.

QUESTION: What is wrong with the incorporation of a story of another?

ANSWER: When a story changes power and rewards must be adjusted.

This shift of power causes major disruptions.

QUESTION: Does this mean that we never take any aspect of the story of another?

ANSWER: We take from the stories of others all the time but we pretend that it originated through our own story.

QUESTION: Are you saying that as humans we are unable to admit that the other story has anything to be valued?

ANSWER: Many cultures continue to use storytelling as a major form to transfer values and behaviors.

QUESTION: If so many people embrace the storytelling approach why do those in marketing in the USA reject and ignore its impact?

ANSWER: They follow a different story.

QUESTION: Is this why a storytelling approach to marketing has received very little interest?

ANSWER: Marketing in the USA is unable to incorporate a historic storytelling approach into their current story.

QUESTION: What approach do they now take in marketing that must eliminate historic storytelling?

ANSWER: Human behavior according to marketing in the USA is causal, predictable, and can be explained through numbers.

Storytelling

QUESTION: How do we perpetuate a storytelling approach?

ANSWER: Through the display and linkage of symbols that are identified with a story.

QUESTION: Are dietary habits, dress, body mutilations and adornments, language, education, and common experiences symbols or manifestations of a story?

ANSWER: They can be both symbols and manifestations.

QUESTION: For example?

ANSWER: When a Jewish male is circumcised it is a symbol.

When a Christian male is circumcised it is a manifestation.

When a person in China eats Chinese food it is a symbol.

When I eat Chinese food it is a manifestation.

The marketing textbooks we use in class are symbols.

When I read and discuss the textbooks they are manifestations.

QUESTION: Can a product be a symbol for just one story?

ANSWER: The same product can be a symbol for many stories.

QUESTION: How can the same product be a symbol for many different stories?

ANSWER: The product is connected to a story through a symbol.

QUESTION: Can the same product say different things to different believers?

ANSWER: Absolutely, when the symbol changes.

QUESTION: Can you give an example?

ANSWER: A shirt is not a shirt but a “Ralf Lauren” shirt.

A shirt is not a shirt but a “Gap” shirt.

A shirt is not a shirt but a “Form, Force and Power” shirt.

A shirt is not a shirt but an “unbranded” shirt.

QUESTION: How?

ANSWER: The product is linked and identified with a story through a symbol.

QUESTION: Without the symbol are the shirts linked to the same story?

ANSWER: We can then think of the shirt as commodity clothing.

QUESTION: What abut a shirt that is branded but the wearer has no knowledge of the symbol and story?

ANSWER: A branded product may then have less value than that of a commodity shirt.

QUESTION: Why?

ANSWER: Fear of the consequences of displaying a symbol representing a story that may put us in conflict with our story.

QUESTION: Do people interpret their responses to stories in a similar way?

ANSWER: Marketing storytelling attempts to take our varied responses and identify them with a product or service.

QUESTION: Are you saying that all our responses to a story are different?

ANSWER: Storytelling marketing does not attempt to create stories that have a single meaning.

QUESTION: Why more than one meaning?

ANSWER: Marketing stories that have infinite possibilities of meaning are more effective.

QUESTION: If a story creates infinite differences in meaning how can people respond?

ANSWER: People apply their individual meaning linking it to a symbol and a product or service.

QUESTION: Does a product or service have any similarity of meaning?

ANSWER: All meaning is a combination of the individual, ethnic, and universal.

QUESTION: Is our relationship with any product or service similar to any one else?

ANSWER: It is our own unique experience.

QUESTION: Do you believe that those who follow a nonlinear approach may not be as inclined to give a socially acceptable answer?
 
ANSWER: The nonlinear would be more inclined to alternative understandings and may bring them forth.

QUESTION: Why is the nonlinear more inclined to different understanding and interpretation?

ANSWER: It is encouraged through the method of storytelling.
 
QUESTION: Could those in linear marketing argue that they bring forth different understandings and points of view all the time?

ANSWER: They do not allow any understanding that challenges causal marketing.

QUESTION: What is wrong with that if the nonlinear choose the path of consumption?

ANSWER: Danger, danger.

QUESTION: How can the seeking of a different understanding through storytelling marketing make any difference?

ANSWER: The storytelling approach includes obligations to family and community.

QUESTION: How are the obligations to family and community in causal marketing different?
 
ANSWER: Obligation is fulfilled through individual consumption.

QUESTION: What are the obligations derived through storytelling?

ANSWER: Compassion, sacrifice, and diplomacy.

QUESTION: Are you suggesting that personal greed and consumption are not part of human nature?

ANSWER: Causal marketing lacks the historic component of human socialization.

QUESTION: Has this been identified?

ANSWER: This is now described as a lack of ethics.

QUESTION: Perhaps this is just a new form of ethics?

ANSWER: All ethnic configurations change the laws and moirés to reinforce their story.

ANSWER: They have been changing much faster since the fall of the former Soviet Union.

QUESTION: What does the fall of the former Soviet Union have to do with causal marketing?
