The ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø Retailing SIG and the Miller Center for Retailing Education and Research at the University of Florida are pleased to announce the 2006 Levy and Weitz competition for the best doctoral dissertation proposals on retailing. This will be the second year of the annual award. The Miller Center for Retailing Education will grant one award for $3,000 and up to two honorable mention awards for $1,000 each.
How to Enter the Competition
- Entrants must be candidates for the doctorate in marketing or a related field (e.g., operations management, organizational behavior, consumer psychology, economics, strategy, management, finance etc.) in a fully accredited university. Candidates should have completed no more than 3 years of doctorate study as of August 31, 2006.
- To be eligible for the competition, submissions accompanied by a letter from the primary thesis advisor certifying that the candidate has completed no more than 3 years of doctorate study at the time of submission must be sent between July 15 and September 15, 2006. Submissions received after September 15, 2006 will not be considered.

For blind reviewing purposes, please omit any identifying information (name, school, etc.) from the proposal itself. Please include with your submission a separate file containing your name, the title of the dissertation, school, and detailed contact information for both the entrant and the thesis advisor(s).
- Proposals must include a brief statement of the problem area to be researched, relevant theory addressing that problem, hypotheses to be tested, methodology to be employed, analysis to be performed on the data collected, and an indicative bibliography. Attention should also be given in the proposal to the managerial relevance of the expected results.
- Maximum length of proposals is 20 double-spaced pages including tables, exhibits, and references. The first page should be a one-page, self-contained summary of the proposal.
Selecting the Winners
- Proposals will be judged on importance and potential contribution of the subject to retailing; quality of conceptual development; feasibility and appropriateness of methodology; and creativity. Design aspects will play a particularly important role in the evaluation process.
