Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book is a critical resource for anyone looking to bridge the gap between academic economic theory and the ground-level reality of India's vibrant, community-driven marketplaces. In 'Weekly Market: Sandhai Survival - The Code of Rural Commerce,' Dr. G. Jayanthi and Dr. R. Amudha provide an exhaustive investigation into the socio-economic machinery of the Sandhai (the Tamil term for a weekly market). Far from being a relic of the past, the book argues that these markets are sophisticated, resilient institutions that have adapted to the pressures of modern e-commerce and digital connectivity.The narrative is anchored in a detailed case study of the Punjaipuliampatti Sandhai in Erode, the second-largest weekly market in Tamil Nadu. This specific marketplace serves as a microcosm for rural commerce across India, demonstrating how millions of livelihoods depend on a cyclical, once-a-week trading rhythm. The authors move beyond the traditional '4Ps' (Product, Price, Place, Promotion) of marketing, focusing instead on the 4As-a framework specifically tailored for the 'Base of the Pyramid' (BoP) consumers:Affordability: The book explores how sellers manage price sensitivity by offering small unit packs and flexible pricing to accommodate the cash-flow cycles of agricultural laborers.Availability: It details the logistical ingenuity required to ensure that goods reach far-flung villages exactly when the market opens, overcoming infrastructure deficits.Acceptability: The authors analyze how products are customized to meet the functional and cultural needs of the rural consumer.Awareness: The study highlights how word-of-mouth and localized communication channels replace traditional mass media in creating brand trust.Livelihood and Social Impact Beyond commerce, the book illuminates the Sandhai as a social lifeline. It is not just a place for transaction, but a hub for information exchange, community building, and social interaction. For the sellers, it represents a survival strategy-a way to earn a lump sum that sustains their families through the week.
