“Marketing Ideas: How to Write Research Articles that Readers Understand and Cite”
If scholars want to make an impact, they need to effectively market their ideas. However, academic writing is notoriously difficult to understand. In a new Journal of Marketing study, researchers demonstrate that scholars write unclearly in part because they forget that they know more about their research than readers, a phenomenon called “the curse of knowledge.” Knowledge, or familiarity with their own research, prompts scholars to use three practices that make their writing difficult to understand: abstraction, technical language, and passive writing. Yet, articles with these qualities are harder for readers to understand and are less likely to be cited. In this webinar, the authors will show how authors can market their ideas to reach and be understood by a broader audience. Tips and tools will be reviewed.
Presented by Nooshin Warren and Matthew Farmer (both of University of Arizona)
“Faculty Research Incentives and Business School Health: A New Perspective from and for Marketing”
A new Journal of Marketing study finds that the current research faculty incentive system in business schools is broken and unsustainable in the long run. Among other issues, the authors find that (1) business schools focus on the wrong incentives, leading to a high volume of research of low quality; (2) less relevant research leads to lower teaching quality; and (3) deans and associate deans feel business schools overpay faculty for the research they do. In this webinar, the authors will provide several actionable strategies business schools can take to improve their “business school health.”
Presented by Stefan Stremersch (Erasmus University), Russell S. Winer (New York University), and Nuno Camacho (Erasmus University)

“Better Marketing for a Better World: An Invitation”
Marketing has the power to improve lives, sustain livelihoods, strengthen societies, and benefit the world at large. At the same time, marketing can have a dark side—it has the power to hurt consumers, employees, communities, markets, institutions, and the environment that surrounds us. The Special Issue of the Journal of Marketing on Better Marketing for a Better World (BMBW) brings together wide-ranging research to assess, illuminate, and debate whether, when, and how marketing contributes to a better world. This webinar will launch the BMBW initiative—and the Special Issue—by addressing the many challenges we face as a field in developing new BMBW knowledge, and the many opportunities we have to overcome them. Join the Special Issue Editors Rajesh Chandy, Gita Johar, Christine Moorman, and John Roberts, for a discussion and debate about how to approach these challenges, and about how to harness these opportunities to contribute to a better world.
Presented by Rajesh Chandy (London Business School), Gita Johar (Columbia Business School), Christine Moorman (Duke University), and John Roberts (University of New South Wales)
