The Role of Research in the MKTG Department

 

MKTG faculty are productive scholars engaged in research designed to add to the base of knowledge in the field of marketing. They publish many articles in academic and professional journals, as well as scholarly books. They are also actively involved in major professional organizations and frequently present their research at academic conferences.

 

Below, you will see the collective research output from MKTG faculty over the past couple of years. If you are interested in a particular journal article, book chapter, or conference paper, there may be a link to the text that appears immediately after the citation. You can also contact the faculty member directly via the faculty page in order to initiate a discussion of his/her research.

 

We hope that you enjoy learning more about our research endeavors!
