<p>Temporality and the importance of time has evolved over the centuries. &#xa0;From an abstract philosophical perspective of the meaning of time, to a quantifiable commercialisation of yield from individual units of time, we have long appreciated time’s value and centrality to the human experience. Consumers today live in a temporally focused world, where perceptions of temporality permeate every aspect of consumption, but there is minimal consideration of this knowledge in the marketing domain. This book introduces a model of consumer perceptions of temporality, which can be used as a framework to consolidate knowledge of the role of temporality in consumption, and improve the management of customer experiences.</p><p>Covering an overview of the history and evolution of knowledge of time and temporality, through to recommendations for best practice in the management of consumption experiences with a new knowledge of temporality, this unique book is key reading for students and academics who wish to gain a new perspective on consumer behaviour and consumption.</p>
