About this Event

The American Marketing Association (AMA) Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium is primarily a professional development and networking conference for advanced doctoral students in marketing. Participation in the Doctoral Consortium is by invitation only, and each of the invited business schools is asked to nominate one doctoral student (known as the "Consortium Fellow").

The 2008 Doctoral Consortium brought together about one hundred doctoral students from leading business schools in the U.S., Canada, and many international locations with about one hundred distinguished faculty who are thought leaders in the academic discipline of marketing. The program offered presentations and workshops at the forefront of marketing scholarship as well as numerous opportunities for Consortium faculty and fellows to interact and share information with colleagues from around the world. This collaborative effort between experienced and new scholars provided vital insights for bridging diverse research and teaching perspectives.

The History

The first annual AMA Doctoral Consortium was held in 1966. The addition of 'Sheth' to the Consortium name recognizes the generosity of Professor Jagdish Sheth and his commitment to finance part of the Consortium on an ongoing basis through the Madhuri and Jagdish N. Sheth Foundation.
