Welcome back from Summer Break!

As you get ready for fall classes, please mark your calendars for the AMS Annual Conference 2013 to be held on May 15- May 18, 2013 at Monterey Bay, California.

The theme of the 2013 conference is “Ideas in Marketing: Finding the New and Polishing the Old.” This is about searching for, and identifying new ideas in marketing, and also modifying, polishing and buffing the many good ideas marketing has already brought to the organizational table.

Professor Bulent Menguc, Brock University(BMenguc@brocku.ca) and I are chairing the sales and sales management track and would like to invite research papers dealing with sales and sales management.

If you are submitting a full paper, it should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages (Times New Roman 12 pt. font) in total length including all exhibits and references. Structured abstract submissions are also welcome and should not exceed 5 single-spaced pages following the same style guidelines as above.

Please note it is against AMS policy to submit the same paper or special session proposal to multiple tracks. Manuscripts will be double blind reviewed.

We look forward to seeing you and engaging in the lively intellectual discussions and warm fellowship that are trademarks of the Academy of Marketing Science. For John Steinbeck fans, this gives the best opportunity to visit magical Monterey– a previous Spanish and Mexican capital of Alta California, city of Steinbeck, home to the world-renowned Monterey Bay Aquarium, Fisherman’s Wharf and the annual Monterey Jazz Festival

Submission Guidelines

If you have questions about the appropriateness of a submission, please contact a relevant track chair. In the case of track co-chairs, the authors may communicate with either or both of the track chairs regarding a submission. All competitive structured papers and special session proposals are to be submitted using the on-line submission process. If you already logged into the online submission process, you may follow this link to the conference management login. Otherwise, visit the conference home page on the AMS website for more information and instructions on getting started.

Manuscripts should follow the format provided in the structured paper exemplar on the conference home page. That is, papers should not exceed four to five pages and should follow the format in the structured paper example. The manuscript itself should be saved as a pdf document. With the conference management system, author information is entered separately from the structured paper. Important note: It is against AMS policy to submit the same paper or special session proposal to multiple tracks. Manuscripts will be double blind reviewed. Please do not identify authors in the body of the paper. Please see the conference home page for more information.

Upon acceptance, the author agrees to: (a) release the copyright of the structured paper to the Academy of Marketing Science (having a structured paper published in the Proceedings does not preclude later journal-length publication elsewhere); (b) return the manuscript in correct format in a timely fashion to the Proceedings Editor; and (c) have at least one author appear at the conference to present the paper. The page limit for published papers is four pages, with all papers to follow the structured paper format. Any accepted manuscripts not presented at the conference will not be published in the AMS Proceedings. It is ultimately the author’s responsibility to see that any paper accepted for publication is provided to the Proceedings Editor and appropriate track chair on time and in the proper format. All manuscripts accepted for publication must be submitted to the Proceedings Editor electronically via e-mail, formatted according to the 2012 Proceedings style guidelines (which will be supplied to you upon acceptance) by the Proceedings deadline.

Special session/panel proposals should be submitted by e-mail as attached “word.doc” files to the appropriate track chair. Proposals should contain a 100-word bio of each speaker, a one-page description of the session, and a one-page description of each presentation. Special session/panel proposals will be reviewed, and those rated as highest quality and most in keeping with the conference theme will be accepted for presentation.
