The Premiere Consortium in the Marketing Discipline
The 2024 AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium will be hosted at Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester on June 11-14, 2024. This unique event brings together the best doctoral students from business schools in the United States, Canada, Europe and the rest of the world. It is the only consortium that exposes doctoral students to the rich diversity of topics, methodological perspectives and theories that exist within the marketing discipline. This experience is designed to spark creativity and insight by challenging students to think outside their existing paradigms and broaden their views on what constitutes good research. Additionally, the consortium’s focus is to help students successfully transition to their first faculty position by providing guidance on research, teaching and service. Faculty scholars are selected who have made important contributions to the field and who are dedicated to helping doctoral students establish professional linkages among themselves and with faculty.

History
The first consortium was held in 1966. The program was launched under the leadership of Thomas A. Staudt, and from the beginning, the focus on research and relationship building was vital. In 1997, the name was changed to the AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium in recognition of the Madhuri & Jagdish N. Sheth Foundation’s commitment to financing part of the consortium on an ongoing basis with the establishment of an AMA Foundation endowed fund.
