Mary Kay Dissertation Competition

Sponsored by the Academy of Marketing Science, doctoral candidates in marketing who have defended or will defend a dissertation between January 1, 2011 and June 1, 2012 are eligible for the Mary Kay Doctoral Dissertation Competition. Submissions should reflect dissertations far along in the process, well past the proposal stage and ideally far along in data collection and analysis for adequate consideration. Dissertations considered for the award in a previous year will not be eligible. To be considered, please submit an electronic version of a dissertation abstract that is no longer than 10 double-spaced pages (including appendices, tables, figures, and references) using 12 point times new roman font and one inch margins. All submissions should include a cover page listing current affiliation and contact information, dissertation committee, and degree granting institution. Do not include any identifying information in the submission itself, as these will undergo a blind review. Papers should be formatted using the guidelines for the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science. The winner will receive $1,500 and a one-year membership in the Academy of Marketing Science. A runner-up will receive $500, and two honorable mentions will each receive $250. Contact the chair of this competition for additional information or submit an electronic copy of the paper no later than February 29, 2012 to Dr. Bruce Alford (balford@latech.edu).
