The Academy of Marketing and Westburn Publishers are delighted to announce that following the successful 2011 competition, we will be holding a Doctoral Colloquium Literature Review Competition open to participants at the AM2012 Doctoral Colloquium. This event will be hosted by University of Southampton Management School, 2nd-3rd July 2012 and chaired by Professor Nina Reynolds.

The annual Academy of Marketing Doctoral Colloquium held just prior to the main Annual Conference is a great opportunity for students at all stages of their thesis research to share ideas, get feedback and be inspired by guest speakers and fellow students.  Over 50 doctoral students have the opportunity to participate in a collegial forum and to gain guidance and advice from a team of experienced scholars. All topics and methodological approaches within the broad field of marketing are considered, and guest speakers and an internationally excellent faculty are on hand to work with students.

The Academy of Marketing also has a Doctoral Special Interest Group, and more information is available at http://www.academyofmarketing.org/doctoral-sig/

The Marketing Review is endorsed by the Academy of Marketing and is an editorially reviewed journal designed to bridge the middle ground between the more esoteric theorising of academic researchers and the anecdotal approach of journalists. Full guidelines about how to submit an article to the journal can be found at the journal website.
