| BACKGROUND AND TARGET STUDENTS |
The European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) and the European Marketing Academy (EMAC) in collaboration with Athens University of Economics & Business (AUEB, Greece) are organising the 19th Colloquium for doctoral students in marketing. The colloquium will be held in Athens from Sunday, May 21 until Tuesday, May 23, 2006, immediately prior to the EMAC Conference 2006.
The colloquium provides outstanding doctoral students in marketing who want to pursue a career in academics with an opportunity to discuss their dissertation research with other doctoral students and leading academics in the field of marketing. All topics and methodological approaches within the broad field of marketing will be considered.
The colloquium will mostly proceed in parallel tracks based on the topical and/or methodological angle of participants' work as well as on the stage of the dissertation process. Students will discuss their work with their fellow students and with three track faculty, who are renowned experts in the field.
Doctoral students in different stages of their dissertation process can apply for participation in the doctoral colloquium. There will be:
· Three tracks for students in an intermediate or advanced stage of their dissertation process. Students in these tracks should have a good knowledge of the literature in their domain of study and clear research questions. They should be in the process of starting the data collection or have already finished this. Students in these tracks will have 90 minutes to present and discuss their dissertation work. They can benefit from the colloquium by subjecting the positioning of their research to a critical review, refining their data collection approach, and/or receiving suggestions for translating their work into papers that can be submitted to excellent journals.
· One track for students in an early stage of their dissertation process. Students in this track should have a (tentative) proposal for the topic they want to study, the method they want to use, and the potential contribution. They will have 30 – 45 minutes to present and discuss their dissertation work, and will receive suggestions on how to focus and position their work. In addition there will be faculty presentations designed to help students plan and manage their dissertation process.
The doctoral colloquium will be held in a collaborative, open and friendly atmosphere. In respect to this philosophy, participants are required to attend the entire colloquium. All participants will receive a certificate of attendance.
The deadline for submission is January 27, 2006.
Deadline for submission is over!
Decisions about acceptance will be communicated by no later than March 10.
Candidates should submit an abstract of the (planned) doctoral research, outlining the research problem against the existing literature, discussing the methodology and showing some initial empirical results (if applicable).
Abstracts should be no longer than 3 pages (plus figures, tables, and references).
Please note that the name of the candidate and contact details should appear on the abstract.
In the submission process, candidates will also be asked to give some information about their vita, following a specific format (the template to be used can be downloaded here). On that form, students should also indicate whether they apply for an intermediate/advanced or for the beginners’ track based on the stage of their dissertation process and also they should indicate one of the following areas as the focus of their research:
- CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR: includes all work conducted from a consumer perspective, and can be related to theory building, interesting cosumer phenomena and/or functional fields in marketing like on-line marketing, advertising, retailing, health behaviour, etc ...
- MARKETING MANAGEMENT: includes all work conducted from a managerial perspective in any functional field of marketing: international marketing, retailing, product development, B2B, etc ...
- MARKETING MODELLING: includes all work in marketing with an emphasis on formulation and/or empirical tests of marketing models, and related to any functional field in marketing
The submissions will be evaluated by the co-chairs.
The admitted proposals in each track will be made available to all participants in the corresponding track to allow everyone to prepare the discussions.
