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 will bring together more than one hundred doctoral students from leading business schools in the U.S., Canada, and several international locations with over one hundred distinguished faculty who are thought leaders in the academic discipline of marketing. This year's program offers 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 will provide crucial insight that will contribute to 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.
