Retail & Pricing SIG

Retail & Pricing SIG

Events

We have special sessions and receptions at both the Summer and Winter AMA Conferences. These events are great for staying current on retail and pricing research as well as networking with colleagues. We also host a Triennial conference with ACRA that focuses specifically on current trends in retail and pricing, as well as retail pedagogy.

Communication

You can like us on Facebook or join our AMA Retail SIG group on LinkedIn .  You can also visit RAPSIG website.  Please do not hesitate to email any of the Retail & Pricing SIG officers if you would like additional information.

At the Summer AMA Conference, we annually celebrate and recognize an individual for his/her Lifetime Achievement. In 2012 we introduced the first Lifetime Achievement Award in Pricing to acknowledge outstanding contributions in the field of pricing over the past 20 years.  The first recipient for this award was Dhruv Grewal (Ph.D. Virginia Tech), the Toyota Chair in Commerce and Electronic Business and a Professor of Marketing at Babson College.

The Retail and Pricing SIG will begin alternating Lifestyle Achievement Awards for research in Retail and Pricing.  Lifetime Achievement Awards for scholarly bodies of work in Retail will be awarded in odd years and Lifetime Achievement Awards for scholarly bodies of work in Pricing will be awarded in even years.
