Dear EMAC-members, fellows, friends.
It is with great sadness that I report that Dick Wittink passed away on the 4th of June in his home at New Haven (Conn. U.S.A.). We believe that the death was due to his chronic diabetic problem.
Dick has been an outstanding scholar in our field. He published more than 100 articles in the top journals, he is the co (author) of books and he fulfilled many editorial duties, such as area editor of Marketing Science, editorial board member of IJRM, the Journal of Marketing and the Journal of Marketing Research. He was editor-in-chief of JMR since June 2004. He was foreign member of the Royal Dutch Society of Arts and Sciences, he organized the first Marketing Science Conference in 1979 etc.
Dick was the George Rogers Clark Professor of Management and Marketing at the Yale School of Management and Honorary Professor of Marketing at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
Dick attended several EMAC-conferences and he was elected as national representative of the USA at the last EMAC Conference in Milan. He also participated in many EDEN/EIASM programmes.
Dick has been a very wise, warm, open, unselfish person. He was very ambitious, he worked hard and he contributed much to both the practioner and academic marketing research community. He has been not only a great scientist but (what I believe is more important) a wonderful person to co-operate with. Those who have been able to know and to work with Dick will miss him greatly. We wil never forget him and the marketing society owes him a lot.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT – DECEMBER 2005
One of the great pleasures of serving EMAC as President is the opportunity to represent our academy internationally. This time next week I’ll be flying out of a cold, wet, wintry Birmingham into a bright, sunny Perth for the ANZMAC conference being held in Fremantle (5-7 December). ANZMAC is a little like a home-from-home with so many EMAC colleagues attending these days, and of course we have many members now based in Australia or New Zealand. Our second joint symposium (BIGMAC2) was held at the Milan conference in May and we are now planning for BIGMAC3 to be held as part of the next ANZMAC conference in Brisbane in December 2006. The theme will be ‘Broadening the Boundaries of Marketing’ and it will be led on the EMAC side by Kristian Möller, and for ANZMAC by Rod Brodie – book it in your diary now!
There are a number of important EMAC developments I want to update you on, more details of some of these will be found later in the Newsletter:
First, we have now agreed the venue for the 2008 conference. This will be held in Dublin, Ireland, and hosted by University College Dublin. Professor Mary Lambkin will be conference chair and the dates have been agreed as 18-23rd May 2008. This will offer a great opportunity to sample the delights of Ireland – the music, the food and, of course, the original Guinness – as well as attending to the serious academic business of the conference.
Second, we have now reviewed the workings of the Doctoral Colloquium at our annual conferences. A sub-group of EMAC Fellows, chaired by Berend Wierenga and including Gilles Laurent and Suzanne Beckmann produced a very helpful report and recommendations based on the operation of the colloquium over the last two years. Like good marketing professors they identified that the market for the colloquium is segmented and that at present we only really cater for one segment – students close to completion of their theses focusing on publications. A second segment that EMAC can and should support is those students in the earlier stages of their research who are seeking input, advice, constructive criticism before they embark on major fieldwork or data collection. Indeed, this was the target market for the DC until the recent re-focus on end stage students. As a consequence a further track has been added to the DC for Athens for which we will invite applications from early stage students.
As part of our process of building relations with other relevant academies and associations we have agreed to include a half-day joint symposium with ESOMAR at the Athens conference. The focus will be on “Measurement of Consumer Emotions”. Luk Warlop has kindly agreed to organise this for EMAC. There will be two or three invited papers from academics and two or three from practitioners. The aim is to identify ways in which we might work more closely together as academics and managers, to the benefit of both.
Our VP Conferences, Veronica Wong, has also been very active in discussing with other organisations managed through EIASM how we might share good practice more effectively. There will shortly be some proposals as to how we might share common conference platforms, achieve economies of scale in administration, and better exploit the combined networks we enjoy as European academies.
Further afield our VP Development, Gary Lilien, has been active in pursuing our links with ISMS. The Executive Committee has now decided that EMAC should become a co-sponsor of the annual ISMS Practice Prize, which is awarded annually for outstanding implementation of marketing science concepts and methods. Winning papers will be presented at the Marketing Science Conference and at the EMAC annual conference, video recorded to DVD and then made available for classroom use.
Gary has also been pursuing our links with the European Marketing Confederation (EMC) which is a confederation of professional marketing bodies across Europe. We are exploring ways in which we can facilitate networking between academics and practitioners.
Finally, I’m delighted to announce that the Executive Committee confirmed the nomination of three new EMAC Fellows. Professor Hubert Gatignon, editor of IJRM and longstanding member of EMAC has been made Fellow. Professors Piet Vanden Abeele and Lars Gunnar-Mattsson have been made Honorary Fellows. The Honorary Fellow category is for those colleagues who have provided outstanding service to EMAC in the past but are no longer active members. My congratulations to all three.
Now… I had better start packing my togs for Perth!
Best wishes
Dear Colleagues,
What a great conference in Milano! The facilities were ideal, the food and wine excellent, and even the weather was great.
Oh, and the papers of course .... the sessions I attended were generally very lively and interesting. I most enjoyed the joint EMAC/ANZMAC symposium on Friday and the discussion style of the Theory and Strategy sessions. Brief position statements from speakers and then lots of time for discussion from the floor expertly led by Rod Brodie and Robin Wensley. A big thank you to Veronica Wong and Mark Gabbott who co-chaired the symposium, and to the other track chairs, Peter Leeflang, Lutz Hildebrandt, Peter Danaher and Jordan Louviere. We'll be discussing with ANZMAC the possibility of a return match in Brisbane in December 2006. Keep your diaries clear!
I'm told that there were around 650 colleagues attending the conference, and that over 400 were involved in chairing tracks, sessions and refereeing papers. Without their hard work the conference would not have been the success it was. But the biggest thanks of all go to Gabriele Troilo and his team for organising the whole event. It is a huge task organising an event the size of EMAC, and with delegates from so many different countries. What amazed me is that Gabriele managed to stay calm and collected, and even smiling throughout. Molte molte grazie!
There are some other colleagues I want to thanks on behalf of EMAC while I am in 'thank you' mode. A number of colleagues stepped down from the Executive Committee this year after many years of service to EMAC as presidents, vice presidents and country co-ordinators. While it is a little invidious to single out any one for particular praise I do think Gilles Laurent deserves a special note of thanks. Gilles has been editor of IJRM, VP Publications and national coordinator for France. In addition he was the inspiration and drive behind the new teaching portal that we hope will prove such a valuable resource for members. Also long standing members of the committee stepping down are previous presidents and VPs Suzanne Beckmann (I'll heed your advice about poor jokes at the conference dinner next time Suzanne!), Kristian Möller, Lutz Hildebrandt, Hans Muhlbacher and Gerard Hermet. Your contributions have all been outstanding. Thank you all.
The Milan conference has set very high standards for others to follow. I know George Avlonitis is up for the challenge and plans an exciting and stimulating conference in Athens next May.
See you there!

EMAC’s executive board initiated a project to develop a portal that is intended to help EMAC members to exchange ideas and material for teaching and research. The board has asked Manfred Krafft, Professor of Marketing at the University of Münster in Germany, to set up such an electronic portal. The official launch of EMAC’s teaching portal happened at the 2005 EMAC conference in Milan. The website’s URL is http://www.emac-teaching-portal.org or http://www.emacteachingportal.org.
The idea of the portal, whose development has been initiated by EMAC, is to improve the intensity and frequency of interaction among marketing academics even in between our annual EMAC conferences. The English portal can be accessed at the URLs www.emac-teaching-portal.org or www.emac-teaching-portal.org. The portal offers downloads of lecture material such as articles, case studies, working paper, statistics, and a lot more for all major marketing topics. EMAC members can also offer their material for upload. After an evaluation and aceeptance by the responsible area editor, the material is accessible for all EMAC members. Available material can also be reviewed online and non-anonymous by EMAC members. Furthermore, a forum has been included to allow general and sub-area related discussions.
All users are arranged into three groups: non-members, members and editors. Non-members are invited to surf through the website, read headlines and brief summaries of all the material available and to get general information about EMAC. Such the new portal can serve as an “appetizer” for non-members to learn more about EMAC. Members can access the site by log-in with their regular EMAC password. EMAC members can access the whole material, the upload function, review function and the forum. Each sub-area editor is responsible for one major marketing topic and is responsible for all area-related material of the portal. The area editor takes also care of the revision of the uploaded material which is the final step of the publishing process at EMAC’s teaching portal. Although some of the topics are already covered by area editors, Manfred Krafft as the editor-in-chief of the portal invites all of you to contact him (mkrafft@uni-muenster.de) and to volunteer for the remaining topics.
The portal has been developed by Manfred Krafft, professor of Marketing and director of the Institute of Marketing at the University of Münster in Germany. Two computer science student assistants supported him in the development of the site. In May 2005, all basic functions of the portal will be implemented and run. However, the team is aiming to extend and improve the functionality of the website constantly. Therefore, any suggestions and concerns raised by you are very much welcome and should be mailed directly to Manfred. Until now, the development costs could be kept very low and the team is confident to collect enough resources that are needed to maintain the portal by sponsors. Sponsorships include banner ads on the portal. Thus, the portal also helps to make companies such as publishers or market research organizations even more aware of EMAC.
So far the report about the status. We requested material from the last years’ EMAC conferences and have received material from Murcia, Braga and Glasgow so far. Gilles Laurent and Lutz Hildebrandt sent out a request for people who could probably serve as area editors or contact persons for country-related material. Most of the names we got were rather good for language-related material. However, we want to begin with an organization of all material by topic / sub-area. We invested most of our time in getting the portal running and launched. As you can see, two URLs have been reserved, and some of the work-in-progress papers presented at former EMAC conference proceedings have already been integrated into the portal. You also asked for a short plan for the next 2 to 3 years and for responses to the issues raised in one of your more recent e-mails. Here are my replies to the issues you raised:
Our plans for next steps are as follows:
I am pleased to provide a report on the second joint EMAC/ANZMAC (BigMac2) symposium which was held in conjunction with the 2005 EMAC Conference in Milan. The theme of the one-day symposium was “Innovation in Marketing: Implications for Theory, Techniques and Measurements”, encompassing three tracks: Marketing Theory (Chairs: Robin Wensley and Rod Brodie); Techniques (Chairs: Peter Leeflang and Jordan Louviere); and Measurements & Metric (Chairs: Lutz Hildebrandt and Peter Danaher).
An important objective of BigMac is to foster research networking and interaction between members of EMAC and ANZMAC, and to encourage scholars and researchers from the Asia Pacific region, who join these networks to promote new ideas and insights arising from their own research.
To a large extent this year’s BigMac2 event has achieved this goal. The event attracted some one hundred delegates, including EMAC and ANZMAC authors/presenters and supporters, who participated in lively discussions of latest research findings, and stimulating debates, on the advancement and application of marketing theories/paradigms, methods and measurements. Moreover, as can be seen from the Symposium programme provided below, the Track Chairs are to be commended for doing an excellent job in attracting some outstanding presenters, authors and panel members alike, to this event.
In the case of the Theory Track, the Chairs constructed 2 panel sessions that focused on leading edge issues. Out of 10 proposals submitted, 2 provided the basis for the panel sessions and one (Nick Lee and John Cadogan), combined with John Rossiter’s proposal to give a combined Theory/Measurement session. The 10 panelist's for the 2 sessions were selected from among those who submitted proposals (4) and senior ANZMAC and EMAC researchers who are experts in the areas (5), giving an equal balance between ANZAC and EMAC participants.
As for the Techniques/Models and Metrics/Measurement Tracks, a total of 17 abstracts were received by Track Chairs. Following review by the Track Chairs, the unanimous decision was to accept all submitted abstracts for the Symposium.
Overall, the Track Chairs were pleased with the quality of the submitted abstracts and found that they grouped naturally into themes that ended up in the final Symposium programme.
Summaries of the Symposium abstracts and discussions for each of the three tracks will be available on the EMAC and ANZMAC websites in due course.
Both Mark Gabbot and I, as the Symposium Chairs, would like to take this opportunity to thank the EMAC/ANZMAC Track Chairs for their coordinated efforts and support, and, not least, for taking the lead in shaping the agenda for BigMac 2.
Announcing: EMAC-EMC Networking Relationship--Euromarketer
The European Marketing Confederation (EMC) is the umbrella organisation for marketing, sales and communication associations in Europe. EMC gathers 17 associations in 15 countries (Europe, South Africa, Russia and Turkey) and represents more than +200,000 individuals who are professional marketeers.

EMAC Sponsors ISMS Practice Prize:
2005 Competition Highlights and DVD availability
Following a resolution passed at the Interim Executive Committee meeting in October, EMAC will be a co-sponsor (along with The Marketing Science Institute and the Brand Science Institute) of the ISMS (Informs Society on Marketing Science) Practice Prize. The Practice Prize is awarded for an outstanding implementation of marketing science concepts and methods. The methodology used must be sound and appropriate to the problem and organization, and the work should have had significant, verifiable and, preferably quantitative impact on the performance of the client organization.
Most recently, the Third Prize competition crowned a winner at the 27th Marketing Science Conference on 17 June at The Goizueta Business School at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
The winning entry was “Customer Equity and Lifetime Management (CELM)", by a joint team from IBM's Zurich Research Labs and Finnair, including Abdel Labbi, Giuliano Tirenni, Cesar Berrospi, Andre Elisseff and Kari Heinonen.
Their work reports on an innovative, long run approach to customer lifetime management implemented at Finnair. That work has lead to improved response rates to Finnair's marketing offers by 10%, decreased marketing costs of 20% and an overall improvement in customer satisfaction at Finnair of 10%. The CELM approach is a decision support system that offers marketing managers a sophisticated framework for optimal planning and budgeting of targeted marketing actions (e.g. campaigns) in order to maximize the return on marketing investments. The approach assesses the changing needs and preferences of customers and maximizes the value of a firm's portfolio of customers over a planning horizon in a manner similar to the way financials planners manage stock portfolios. CELM recommends which offers should be made to which customers at what time to help those customers become more loyal and of higher value in the most cost-effective manner possible.
The 2005 Practice Prize committee was comprised of Nils Andres, (representing the Brand Science Institute), Gary Lilien, Prize Committee Chair, Leigh McAlister (representing the Marketing Science Institute), Jagmohan Raju (as ISMS President), Arvind Rangaswamy, Jorge Silva-Risso, Steve Shugan (as Marketing Science editor), Joel Steckel, and Gerard Tellis.

2006 Academy of Marketing Science Conference
May 24-27, 2006,
Hyatt Regency,
Paper Submission Deadline: November 7, 2005
Conference Theme – “Revolution in Marketing: Market Driving Changes”
Program Chairs: Greg W. Marshall and Judy A. Siguaw
The term “Revolution” is not chosen lightly – it is clear that the role of marketing in both the firm and in society is in a period of substantial change. This change is being driven by many factors, not the least of which are technology, accelerating capabilities to react to consumer preferences, and a return to focusing on serving customers as individuals through customization. It is incumbent upon both marketing academicians and practitioners to critically assess the means by which companies can be market driving versus market driven. To this end, the goal of this year’s AMS conference is one of creating great awareness of the issues, trends, and advances associated with developing radically new products and services, creating new markets, generating new channels, establishing new price points, and formulating new business models.
To participate, submit competitive papers (not abstracts) or special session proposals electronically to the appropriate track chair listed below. Important Note: It is against AMS policy to submit the same paper or special session proposal to multiple tracks. We look forward to seeing you and to engaging in the lively intellectual discussion and warm fellowship that are trademarks of the

CUSTOMER RESEARCH ACADEMY WORKSHOP (CRAWS)
5th CRAWS Conference
5th – 7th April 2006
International and Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Customer Behaviour
Conference Chairs: Margaret K. Hogg, Lancaster University Management School
and Barbara R. Lewis, Manchester Business School
The Customer Research Academy was established to provide a forum for European academics who are researching customer behaviour. The aim of the Workshop series is to provide an opportunity to examine the latest leading-edge theoretical, conceptual, methodological and empirical progress in customer research across consumer and organisational markets, including profit and not-for-profit sectors.
Following four successful meetings, the 5th workshop will involve a series of themed discussions in which participants will talk briefly about their research papers. The workshop format means that the emphasis throughout will be on informality to encourage discussion and the full participation of all attendees; to foster opportunities for the development of research collaborations; and to build networks of national and international scholarship in customer behaviour.
Venue
The 2006 workshop will be held at 'Chancellors' - the University of Manchester Conference Centre, which has en-suite accommodation available onsite. It will begin with dinner on the evening of 5th April, followed by a series of sessions during Thursday 6th April, and ending at lunchtime Friday 7th April. The cost will be £335 to include the workshop fee, two nights accommodation and all meals.
Paper Abstracts
We invite you to submit your paper abstracts which address the workshop theme: International and Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Customer Behaviour. Papers which focus on other themes related to customer behaviour will also be welcome. Abstracts should focus on research in progress or completed research into customer behaviour in consumer, organisational, business-to-business or social markets and should identify the contribution of the research (i.e. theoretical/conceptual; methodological; empirical).
Abstracts should be on one page, 300-400 words and should include the author(s) name, affiliation, address, telephone, fax and e-mail. They should be submitted by the extended deadline of 20th December to:
Janet Denny, D33/MBS East, Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester, Booth Street West, Manchester, M15 6PB, UK.
Tel: (+44) 161 306 3507; Fax: (+44) 161 306 3167; E-mail: janet.denny@manchester.ac.uk.
Successful Papers
Abstracts will be reviewed by an internal panel and authors notified by early January 2006..

Workshop on “Probability Models for Customer-Base Analysis”
Goethe-University, Frankfurt, Germany
March 8-9, 2006
Topic
Customer-base analysis seeks to use information on the history of customer purchase patterns to identify which individuals are most likely to be active (or inactive) customers and to predict future purchasing patterns by those customers listed in the firm’s transaction database. Any researcher hoping to make statements about "customer lifetime value" must deal with these issues, but unfortunately the set of commonly available tools is not very well-suited for the task.
This workshop aims to fill in these gaps by bringing researchers and advanced practitioners fully up to speed on the basic methods that may underlie many of their current or future research activities.
The first day of the workshop provides an introduction to probability models, working through a set of case studies that illustrate all of the steps required to develop and implement simple probability models. The second day builds on these foundations to develop a set of probability models (most of which can be implemented entirely in Excel) designed to answer standard customer-base analysis questions.
Who Should Attend?
This course is for researchers and advanced practitioners who deal with Customer Base Analysis and who are interested in methods and principles for predicting future customer behavior by probability models.

The Future of Distribution Channels Modeling
Wharton School, May 18th and 19th, 2006
Researchers interested in analytical modeling as related to distribution channels are invited to participate in a mini-conference on the Future of Distribution Channels Modeling to be held at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, May 18 & 19, 2006.
The primary purpose of this conference is to bring together established and rising scholars to make in-depth presentations of state-of-the-art, analytical research on distribution channels and to engage in discussions
(a) to broaden the scope of problems addressed by channel research,
(b) to expand the methods being used to investigate channel problems,
(c) to develop an “organic research community” of channel scholars, and
(d) to integrate pieces of the “channels puzzle.”
While the research area is the analysis of distribution channels from an analytical perspective, the conceptual and professional approaches are broadly defined. Conceptually, we encourage submissions that examine pricing policies, promotional strategies, product decisions (including inventory management, return policies, and product-line length), service provision, sales-force management, channel breadth (e.g., intensity of distribution and dual distribution), competition between channels, and competition at a level of the channel; in short, all the aspects of marketing as viewed from a channels perspective. Professionally, we invite submissions by marketing scientists, economists, management scientists, operations researchers, strategists, and others with a research interest in channels issues, whether or not they utilize game theory; indeed, we are especially interested in papers that utilize concepts and approaches from outside marketing.
Methodologically, the highly-talented researchers currently working on channels models often use disparate approaches, so it can be difficult to grasp the connection between their works. Thus another purpose of the conference is to develop a general understanding of the linkages between varied research streams so that ultimately we may collectively create a unified theory of distribution channels. In short, we have (and we will continue) individually to develop pieces of a puzzle using various methods, but we have not collectively determined how the pieces fit together. This conference will move us toward an understanding of the big picture.
The conference will involve presentations of ten research papers, each of 75 minutes duration. To maximize thoughtful interaction, there will be no parallel sessions. Time will be available to discuss the evolving analytical literature on distribution channels and to collaborate on future distribution channels models.
Submissions: Researchers interested in presenting a paper should submit their paper (or a detailed abstract) by January 30, 2006 to the conference co-chairs (cingene@bus.olemiss.edu and zjzhang@wharton.upenn.edu). The conference co-chairs and the organizing committee will determine papers to be presented based on quality, originality, and facilitation of a breadth of topics and approaches. Some preference may be given to papers by young faculty. Acceptance decisions will be made by February 20, 2006. Final drafts—which will be made available to all conference participants on CD-ROMs—should be completed by April 17.
Registration: The conference fee, which includes a dinner and reception, breakfasts, lunches, coffee and snacks, plus a CD-ROM of the presentations, is $150. This fee will be reduced to $100 for presenters and to $50 for doctoral students. Registration will open by February 17, 2006. Funding has been provided by the Jay H. Baker Retailing Initiative at Wharton and by INFORMS. The conference is open to all members of INFORMS.
Publication: For those who are interested, we have negotiated the possibility of publishing papers presented at this conference in a special section of the Journal of Retailing and we are negotiating for a special section in Marketing Science; subject to the papers meeting the standards of these journals. We promise a rapid review process; however, authors retain copyright, so papers may be submitted to wherever is desired.

Food Innovation and New Product Development
4th International MAPP Workshop on Consumer Behaviour and Food Marketing
Middelfart, Denmark, May 29-30, 2006
Product innovation and management of the new product development (NPD) process are areas of interest which have become increasingly relevant for companies today in order to stay ahead in a still more dynamic, demanding and turbulent market.
Acquiring information and responding to the wants of consumers throughout the NPD process plays a great role in creating innovative food products which fulfil the needs of the market. But also sharing e.g. product related knowledge in and among NPD teams and throughout the entire organization is an area which is of interest to both researchers and practitioners in order to speed up or increase the creativity of the NPD process.
The workshop in 2006 will focus on the following themes, and we hereby invite abstracts covering topics related to these in relation to the food industry:

CIREID Lille France, Centre International d’Echanges et d’information sur la distribution, started some five years ago with some support from local corporations and local and regional public agencies.
Recently CIREID has been appointed as part of one of the national development centres (Pôle de Compétitivité) by the French Prime Minister, Mr de Villepin. The main topic is around retailing and distribution, with the impact of NIT. Quite a few headquarters of large distribution companies and employees are in this part of France, which explains this decision.
CIREID has the mission of identifying, surveying, developing, partnering, nurturing and disseminating, on this topic, with and in cooperation with research centres around the world as well as documentation experts. CIREID will not become a research centre as such.
Before CIREID launches any specific search or survey for relevant piece of research we wanted to inform you so you could contribute and comment more freely.
Research centres, research networks and scholars will be mailed and asked to send abstracts of their work (not previous year 2000) focused on the first three identified topics by the profession (see list of research topics further down):
• E-commerce
• Where shoppers shop
• Household Budget allocations and changes in the consumer good segment (mostly food)
These abstracts will be reviewed on the basis of quality:
• Relevance for retailing corporations
• Interest for the future of the business
Afterwards, promotion of the selected researches and research centres will be done through relevant publication to corporate CIREID members with the approval of authors. This will allow corporations to get directly in contact with research labs or fellows to further up projects.
CIREID plans to organise workshops and conventions in partnership with research centres or association, to foster and promote relevant research initiatives.
CIREID has asked, Bruno Dufour, former Business School Dean, and senior advisor to EFMD in Brussels, Equis and CLIP advisor, experienced in distribution and retailing, to act as apart time consultant to build this network and help select research partners.
CIREID Research topics
1. e-commerce trend and strategic consequences
The IT impacts, the level of household equipment are generating new consumer behaviours and new opportunities.
After some years of trial and error, the e-business model has come to maturity, effective, efficient and profitable under certain conditions. The web is more than just an informational net, but also a strong and powerful commercial format based on costs, delays and intermediaries reductions, finely designed for specific products and services.
Corporations in the distribution business, vendors as well as clients or brokers, must get to know and use this new business model, its applications, and the coming trends, to take relevant decisions. They also must anticipate the consequences on their activities and adapt their strategy.
2. Where shoppers shop
The wide variety of shopping opportunities, being virtual or physical, consumers behaviours evolutions, and changes in life styles combined with demographics, make difficult for the retail sector to understand how consumers select their “stores”.
Proximity, price, service, specialisation, differentiation, complementarities, practicalities…retail companies and their business partners are looking for cognitive maps to understand their client habits and needs. This is at stake to define optimum service in the best place, timing and assortment.
3. Household consumption decline and family budgetary decisions
In some European countries one can witness a significant evolution of household food budgets, due to many different factors: life style, demographics, and move towards other goods or services (telecom, leisure, energy).
Priorities and needs have changed. The supply of goods and services are under constant transformation. The impact of oil price, the ever increasing telecommunications budget, spare time, the changes in age distribution (pappy boom) have a collateral effect on food and traditional consumer goods.
Some items are even flat or declining in absolute value, which never happened before.
Understanding and anticipating these changes, be they structural or just incidental, is a must for the future of retail industry actors.
INTERNATIONAL WORD-OF-MOUTH MARKETING CONFERENCE
Hamburg, Germany , 6-7 OCTOBER 2005
CALL FOR PAPERS
Word-of-Mouth marketing is now listed as a top priority at the companies of the major brands as the pressure to sell more products with reduced marketing budgets continues to increase. The fact that WOM is not driven by a viral marketing campaign alone, but also through new forms of product placement – for example, branded programming, embedded sponsorships, and online/offline referral programs, as well as brand blogging on mobiles and the internet – makes it more difficult to get deep insights into exactly what works, how and why. It is incumbent upon both marketing academicians and practitioners to critically assess the means by which companies can manage Word-of-Mouth marketing carefully, and to integrate it into their brand marketing programs. To this end, the aim of this, the first International Conference on Word-of-Mouth Marketing is one of creating a greater awareness of the strategies,
tactics, trends, and measurement opportunities in Word-of-Mouth marketing that form the basis for the future development of this vital marketing field.
To participate, please submit competitive papers or special session proposals electronically to the Brand Science Institute at wom@b-s-i.org.

The quality, quantity, deployment and motivation of sales force effort significantly affect both the top and bottom lines of companies in many industries where personal selling is the primary form of marketing promotion. As the management of customer accounts and relationships becomes more complex and demanding, practitioners are putting renewed emphasis on optimizing the productivity of sales force investments. In response, new theoretical and empirical research to improve understanding of evolving sales force productivity issues as well as models, metrics, and methodologies to aid sales force management decisions are urgently needed.
To stimulate more research and focused exchanges on these sales force management issues, the College of Business at the University of Missouri (MU), Columbia, in collaboration with the JPSSM, is hosting a Special Conference on Enhancing Sales Force Productivity, April 21-23, 2006, in Columbia, Missouri. Scholars and practitioners with research interests in this area are invited to submit papers for presentation at this Conference. Research based on economic theories as well as normative, methodological, and empirical research papers related to this area are all welcome. Papers accepted for presentation at the Special Conference will also be considered for publication in a related Special Issue of the Journal of Personal Selling and Sales Management on the same topic to appear in Fall 2007 (see separate Call for Papers for the Special Issue). However, all researchers who are interested in the subject of improving sales force productivity are invited to attend the conference, whether or not they submit papers for consideration by the JPSSM Special Issue. Examples of topics suitable for the Special Conference include:

A Special Issue on:
Contribution of Management Sciences to Sustainable Development"
More information at :http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=300
Deadline: February 28, 2006.
Dear colleague:
As perhaps you already know, simultaneously to the organization of the International Congress on Public and Non Profit Marketing (4th edition was held last May in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain), and looking for a stable working forum and so a support in order to develop into practice further projects and ideas, a scientific association was founded and registered, called either International Association on Public and Non Profit Marketing, or Asociación Internacional de Marketing Público y No Lucrativo (AIMPN).
One of major goals has been the launching of a new scientific journal (the International Review on Public and Non Profit Marketing, IRPNM), publishing English and Spanish written articles twice a year. Three issues have already been edited, including contributions considered achieving high academic and scientific quality standards, guaranteed by a double blind selection process. Perhaps you have received notice of these three issues, as a list of contents has been e-mailed by some well-known scientific distribution lists.
However, we try to improve work, and from Volume 2, Number 1 (June 2005) on, papers will are full text published both in English and Spanish (if required by authors, free translation from English into Spanish by scientific experts could be provided in case of accepted papers) and also fully on-line supported. Contributions are expected not only from Marketing teachers and practitioners, but also from other related disciplines when referring to public and/or no profit topics.
So, and after this short and general introduction, I aim you in order to have a look on the contents of this Vol. 2, Nº 1 of the International Review on Public and Non Profit Marketing at http://rimpn.teyde.net, and so in order to consider publication of your research work in our Review.
We have realized that there was a transcription mistake (two “crossed” letters) regarding the link some of you was told in our previous message in order to access contents of Vol. 2, Nº 1 of the International Review on Public and Non Profit Marketing. The right one is http://rimpn.teyde.net (and not “ripmn”, take care also, without “www”).

Special Issue on Mobile Advertising Issues and Challenges
Guest Editor
Shintaro Okazaki, Ph.D.

College of Economics and Business Administration
Autonomous University of Madrid
The Journal of Interactive Advertising announces a special issue on Mobile Advertising Issues and Challenges.
Wireless communication networks have increased rapidly worldwide, enabling many firms to use a new mode of interactive advertising via mobile devices. WAP contributed to the initial implementation, SMS-based marketing, but the most drastic change occurred following the introduction of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) and Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA). These have enabled many operators to move quickly to Third Generation (3G) standards. Many multinational corporations now take advantage of the high-speed transmission of advertising messaging through sophisticated Internet services.
In an extension of traditional email marketing, mobile advertising has been used as an effective way to "push" information associated with price discounts, electronic coupons, sweepstakes, and direct payment, among others. However, mobile advertising is not limited to a "push" use. Global Positioning System could generate new opportunities for location-based advertising, while mobile portals offer special contents service via campaign sites displayed on micro-browser screens. These strategies could "pull" users' attention to unprecedented marketing experiences. However, although interests and applications in this area have increased substantially in recent years, there is still an important lacuna with regard to both empirical evidence and a theoretical framework.
The Journal of Interactive Advertising therefore invites the submission of empirical and conceptual papers that fit the theme "Mobile Advertising Issues and Challenges." In this Special Issue, we expect to raise new possibilities for theory development, methodological innovation, and cross-disciplinary approaches in interactive advertising research via mobile devices.
RESEARCH TOPICS
Potential manuscript topics include (but are not limited to)
- Push versus pull advertising
- Issues associated with SMS/MMS advertising
- Trust in mobile advertising
- Wired versus wireless advertising comparison
- Attitude toward mobile campaign sites
- Location-based messaging
- Visual versus textual data transmission
- Mobile advertising recall
- Cross-cultural issues in mobile advertising acceptance

Journal of Personal Selling and Sales Management
“Enhancing Sales Force Productivity”
The Journal of Personal Selling & Sales Management (JPSSM) is pleased to announce and invites research article submissions for a Special Issue on Enhancing Sales Force Productivity that is scheduled for publication in Fall 2007. JPSSM is the premier international journal that is devoted exclusively to the publication of peer-reviewed articles related to personal selling and sales management.
Special Issue Background Information
The quality, quantity, deployment and motivation of sales force effort significantly affect both the top and bottom lines of companies in many industries where personal selling is the primary form of marketing promotion. In practice, as the management of customer accounts and relationships becomes more complex and demanding, there is renewed emphasis on optimizing the productivity of sales force investments. In response, new theoretical and empirical research to improve understanding of evolving sales force productivity issues as well as models, metrics, and methodologies to aid related management decisions are urgently needed. The purpose of this special issue of JPSSM on Enhancing Sales Force Productivity is to engender such new research. Research based on economic theories as well as normative, methodological, and empirical research papers related to this area are all welcome. Authors who wish to submit papers to this Special Issue of JPSSM are encouraged to also submit their work for presentation at a Conference that is being organized on the same topic at the University of Missouri – Columbia on April 21-23, 2006 (see separate Call for Papers for the Conference on “Enhancing Sales Force Productivity”).

SPECIAL ISSUE ANNOUNCEMENT
Journal of Personal Selling & Sales Management
“Sales Force Ethics:
Strategic Implications and Leadership Challenges”
Guest Editors:
O.C. Ferrell, Colorado State University
Mark W. Johnston, Rollins College
René Y. Darmon, ESSEC and HEC-Montreal
The Journal of Personal Selling & Sales Management (JPSSM) is pleased to announce a special issue on ethics, scheduled for publication as the Fall 2007 issue.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
There has been a significant interest in business ethics among the popular business press over the last five years. At the same time, conceptual and empirical research has investigated a wide range of ethical issues. Historically at the forefront of business ethics, sales force ethics research dates back to some of the earliest published research on personal selling. However, the sales environment has changed dramatically and recent scandals have presented salespeople with a number of new and challenging ethical situations. Salespeople were associated in almost one-third of the accounting fraud cases in moving sales revenue to different time periods to inflate profits. The sales profession is being put under pressure to manipulate reporting systems to help organizations meet quarterly earnings targets. The focus on building successful customer relationships has placed salespeople in a critical strategic position relative to the customer and ethical issues in selling now have strategic implications to the organizational performance. Academically, research into the strategic implications of sales force ethics is lacking and there is a need for new conceptual and empirical research on the ethical challenges faced by salespeople in a strategic customer relationship environment. Relatedly, what are the challenges faced by sales leaders in this era of heightened ethical awareness and increased competitive pressure. The purpose of this special JPSSM issue is to engender such new research on sales force ethics and the strategic implication of an ethical sales force. Theoretical (conceptual) and empirical papers are welcome.

Value Creation Model
Value Management represents fundamental and revolutionary change; it goes to the very core of business and affects every facet of business. For example, it not only challenges our perspective on profit, but also productivity; core business beliefs. It also has a major impact on our understanding and implementation of the “Marketing Mix”, together with a new understanding of the critical role of Advertising within Distribution Channels, to mention just two facets of business affected.
To receive a free copy of the book, comprising over 330 pages on the structure of the value creation process, please email feedback@growingvalue.net

INTERNATIONAL MARKETING REVIEW
SPECIAL ISSUE: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON INTERNATIONAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP
About IMR
The International Marketing Review (http://www.emeraldinsight.com/imr.htm) provides a platform for contemporary ideas in international marketing, the thinking, theory and practice. It is not a home for general marketing papers, but delivers research based on empirical studies of marketing strategy issues as well as comparative studies of markets and marketing practice with a purely ‘International’ flavour. The International Marketing Review seeks to publish papers that are academically robust, hence the double blind peer review process it adopts, but also papers that communicate effectively and therefore contribute to international marketing.
About the Special Issue
The International Marketing Review invites the submission of empirical and conceptual articles that fit the theme “Emerging Issues in International Entrepreneurship”. While interest in the domain of International Entrepreneurship has increased substantially over the past decade, there is still no agreement about its conceptual boundaries, core unit of analysis or central constructs. Nonetheless, the field has contributed unique insights into internationalisation and entrepreneurial actions that cross national borders. A focus on innovation, opportunity identification and exploitation, risk-seeking behaviour, entrepreneurial managers, and the interaction between people, firms, time, the international environment and value creation, have resulted in a greater understanding of an important and growing phenomenon in international business. The field also raises new possibilities for theory development, methodological innovation, and cross-disciplinary approaches.
Importantly, International Entrepreneurship is not restricted to small, start-up firms. Intrapreneurship, corporate venturing, and corporate entrepreneurship all refer to the mindset and practice of entrepreneurship found in established organisations. Furthermore, the businesses under study need not only be those from high technology sectors.
This issue of IMR is seeking original research that provides a basis for better defining, understanding and researching this growing field. Given the complexity of the phenomena itself, and the cross-disciplinary nature of its study, a broad range of research methodologies and perspectives are welcome. Further, as this theme has been selected in part because of the increasing interest from the business community and public policy makers, practical insights from conceptual and empirical contributions are strongly encouraged.

Ubiquitous Human Observation Methodologies
Qualitative Market Research: An International Journal
Recent times have seen an upsurge in the use of observational methodologies within marketing and organisational research. For example, eye tracking has grown in popularity of late, as access to the relevant technology has become easier. Linguistic observation and social network analysis have also become important methodologies, especially in light of recent developments in computer-mediated communication. However, there is vast potential in other types of observational tools, such as new neurological instruments, and virtual reality presentation techniques.
This special issue will review the state of academic research in direct observation methodologies. New technology is enabling the more detailed direct observation of behaviour – both external and internal processes. The aims of the special issue are to examine the technologies available, and applications for their use, to provide a methodological typology and clear directions for future research. Papers can detail any observational technique, and authors should not consider themselves restricted to traditionally ‘qualitative’ observational methods. Papers can be empirical or conceptual, and those dealing with radical new approaches and applications are to be encouraged.
Topics could include, among many others:
The closing date for submissions is 12 December 2005.
The Special Issue will be published in January 2007.
All papers will be subjected to double-blind peer review. Full notes for prospective contributors are available at: www.emeraldinsight.com/qmr.htm

Special Issue "CONSUMER EMPOWERMENT"
Extraordinary changes in marketing have taken place within the last three decades, influencing and changing the ways many people have traditionally worked and communicated. Marketing practices and theoretical representations of consumers span the changes from mass marketing and market segmentation to tailor-made or customised forms of one-to-one marketing to target customers. Many other changes have been brought about by modern multi-media technologies, the Internet, the corresponding raft of new ideas and expertise, and innovations in products and services. These have fundamentally changed markets and industries producing shifts in the balance of power in producer-consumer relationships. One important result of this shift and such marketing changes has been to facilitate consumer empowerment.
Consumers have become more proactive in diverse ways and, at times, provocative and aggressive in seeking to exercise their consumer choices and rights. Affordable computing hardware and software with advances in mobile telephony have facilitated consumer communications and interactions with other consumers and organisations in Europe and the rest of the world. How do consumers generate their own consumption experiences, personalise them and turn them into greater consumer empowerment for themselves vis-a vis suppliers? Papers submitted should, therefore, address the theme of consumer empowerment in the marketplace. For example, they could examine growth in consumer empowerment from the applications of one-to-one marketing theories and methods such as those in market segmentation and direct marketing. They could discuss consumer empowerment from viewpoints anchored in traditional or postmodern perspectives. Critical evaluations of the effectiveness or successes of marketing theories, methods and case scenarios that are proposed, along with any relevant cross-disciplinary contributions, are welcomed.
Examples of conceptual and empirical papers could:

Peter Leeflang named Professorial Chair
By prof.dr. T. Wansbeek, dean of the Faculty of Economics, University of Groningen
Prof. P.S.H. Leeflang, Professor of Marketing Management and Marketing Research, has been appointed to the Frank M. Bass chair. This professorial chair is named after Professor Frank Bass of the University of Texas in Dallas, who is regarded worldwide as one of the pioneers of marketing as a high-quality academic discipline. Within the Netherlands, and even Europe, Peter Leeflang is a worthy holder of the chair. He was one of the first to recognize the possibilities of applying econometric methodologies within marketing and has made a significant contribution to the actual utilization of these possibilities, starting with his PhD dissertation in 1974. Since then he has published on a very wide range of subjects, with the main focus of his work in the field of measuring competitive reactions to marketing interventions. Much of this work was done together with his much-missed good friend and colleague, the late Professor Dick Wittink.
Peter Leeflang has been a professor at the University of Groningen since 1976. His list of publications numbers over 300, including dozens in renowned international scientific journals and a number of textbooks which have achieved 'standard' status. He has supervised 29 PhD candidates. Many of them have become prominent researchers, and eleven have become professors themselves.
In addition to being an eminent researcher, Peter Leeflang is also someone with extensive organizational skills, based on his ability to bring people together and his aim of harmonious mutual relationships. These skills have manifested themselves in numerous initiatives and committee work worldwide. Closer to home, he has always been the leader of the close-knit, highly respected Groningen marketing group. Less than a year ago, this group was awarded the highest possible score by an international visitation committee. In the period 1997 – 2001 he was Dean of the Department of Economics and vice-Chancellor of the University of Groningen.
Since the retirement of Professor Axel Johne last year from Cass Business School, City University London, there have been 3 new appointments:
