The purpose of the American Marketing Association (AMA) Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium* is to introduce up-and-coming scholars in marketing to leaders in the field and also to provide an opportunity for participating doctoral students to network socially with each other and with faculty. One doctoral candidate is nominated from each of the leading universities in the world. The first annual AMA Doctoral Consortium was held in 1966. The recent addition of 'Sheth' to the Consortium title recognizes the generosity of Professor Jagdish Sheth and his commitment to finance part of the Consortium on an ongoing basis through the Sheth Foundation.

 

The Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland welcomes Consortium Fellows to its College Park campus! The Smith School is an internationally recognized leader in management education and research for the digital economy, with programs in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

The Marketing Department emphasizes the Smith School’s strategic focus on information technology and world-class research. Combining faculty expertise in service with the Smith School’s focus on information technology, the Department has carved a unique niche as a world research leader in customer equity management and service marketing. To support its customer focus, the Department sponsors the Center for Excellence in Service and the annual AMA Frontiers in Service Conference. The editorship of the Journal of Marketing currently is held by a member of the department.
