First Annual
Marketing Academic Research Colloquium

(MARC)

Friday, May 6, 2011

University of Maryland, College Park

 

 



 The Marketing Department of Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland is proud to invite you to the first Marketing Academic Research Colloquium (MARC) on Friday, May 6, 2011 at the University of Maryland, College Park.  It will bring together leading marketing scholars from the Joseph M. Katz School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh, Smeal College of Business at Penn State University, Tepper School of Business at Carnegie-Mellon University, and the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.

    

We hope MARC will provide opportunities for a high level of interaction among participants, leading to the generation of cutting-edge research ideas and fruitful collaborations. To represent a diverse set of ideas and approaches at the colloquium, we have asked four speakers -- one from each school, to present a paper with a behavioral, quantitative or managerial focus (or an interdisciplinary one).  We are limiting our schedule to four talks to allow time for an in-depth discussion of each paper.  

 

Further, to encourage our Ph.D. students to participate in the colloquium, the program will feature a student poster session at our concluding cocktail reception -- an excellent opportunity to learn more about the ongoing research in each school.


A pdf file of the MARC program is available at this link.

 

We are looking forward to seeing you all at the FIRST MARC in May in College Park, Maryland!

Regards,

 

 

Tao Chen and Anastasiya Pocheptsova
