Persuasion

Persuasion: A Key Idea for Business and Society asks the disciplines of philosophy, politics, psychology, and prose analysis - the 4 Ps of persuasion - why all disciplines have been engaged with the topic and why people are suspicious of it.

Persuasion. Philosophers have worried about it. Political and economic actors have weaponised it. Psychologists have measured it. Prose writers have required it. We're all subjected to it. And some have even mastered it. Of them, we are often very suspicious. Why is that? Persuasion: A Key Idea for Business and Society asks the disciplines of philosophy, politics, psychology, and prose analysis - the 4 Ps of persuasion - to answer this important question.

The book is written for students and teachers of business and marketing but will also guide researchers across the social sciences and humanities.
