Information management has an important role for small and resource constrained firms. However the role of consumer insights in entrepreneurial marketing has remained under-researched, specifically on how to gather, collect and access relevant information in the digitised consumer universe. This netnographic study fills this gap and proposes brand communities as a feasible source of valuable entrepreneurial marketing related insights, which can help small and resource constrained entrepreneurial firms to exploit opportunities and lower perceived market risks.Related Posts
