2014 MARY KAY DOCTORAL DISSERTATION COMPETITION

Sponsored by the Academy of Marketing Science, doctoral candidates in marketing who have defended either a dissertation proposal or a dissertation during January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013 are eligible for the Mary Kay Doctoral Dissertation Competition. 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 15 double-spaced pages (including appendices, tables, figures, and references) to Prof. Michael Solomon at msolom01@sju.edu no later than January 15, 2014. 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.
