Continuing its tradition of commitment to Marketing doctoral education, the Academy of Marketing Science proudly announces the Second Biennial AMS Doctoral Consortium – a truly global doctoral consortium – held in conjunction with the 2011 AMS World Marketing Congress (July 19-23) in Reims, France. Doctoral students worldwide, who will not have collected their full data sets for their dissertation before the conference begins, are invited to apply. The event kicks off with a joint reception with the AMS World Marketing Congress delegates on Tuesday evening, July 19th, followed by a full-day program on Wednesday July 20th and a half-day program on Thursday, July 21st. Attendees are encouraged to stay for the remainder of the AMS World Marketing Congress (which runs until July 23rd).
Eminent scholars from the U.S., Europe, and Australasia will provide feedback on students’ dissertation research efforts, present cutting-edge research ideas, and provide guidance on building a successful career as a marketing scholar. Participating Doctoral Consortium faculty members include: Barry Babin, Simon Bell, Bill Bearden, Rod Brodie, Heiner Evanschitzky, Sandy Jap, Costas Katsikeas, Debbie MacInnis, Greg Marshall, Bulent Menguc, Vince Mitchell, Kent Monroe, Christine Moorman, Robert E. Morgan, A. Parasuraman, Linda Price, Bodo Schleglmilch, Rajan Varadarajan, Martin Wetzels, Jan Wieseke.
In order to achieve the intended concentrated faculty/student interaction, attendance is strictly limited to 40 students, chosen on a competitive basis. To qualify, students need to complete an application online, enclose up to two letters of recommendation from their professors, and include a one-to-two page (double spaced) abstract (maximum: 500 words) indicating their current dissertation ideas, plans, where they are in the process, and its likely contribution, along with a current vita. These materials should be submitted by Dec. 15, 2010. Students chosen to attend the consortium will be notified by February 10, 2011. Note that a follow-up five-page, double-spaced, paper (maximum 1250 words) and a digital color photograph will be due April 15, 2011.
All doctoral students who are invited to attend the consortium will need to register for the AMS World Marketing Congress. All students who attend the consortium will receive up to an $800 scholarship from AMS to help offset their AMS conference registration fee and travel expenses. Students are encouraged to obtain additional funding for this prestigious event from their schools and departments. There will also be two $250 awards for best dissertation ideas.
