This Consortium is designed for junior faculty and doctoral students who might have an interest in pursuing research on Marketing and Society topics. Content will address substantive issues and methodological demands of quality research in this field. As you can see, from the program abstract below, we have attracted a strong set of government representatives (primarily economists) who are working on significant issues, as well as a fine set of marketing academics who contribute to this area.
