25TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE ASSOCIATION FRANÇAISE DU MARKETING (FRENCH MARKETING ASSOCIATION)

MAY 14TH AND 15TH 2009
LONDON CAMPUS OF ESCP-EAP

CALL FOR PAPERS

The 25th International Conference of the French Marketing Association (Association Française du Marketing-AFM) will be held on May 14th and 15th 2009 on the London campus of ESCP-EAP.

As usual, the conference will be the occasion for fruitful meetings and exchanges between marketing researchers and practitioners, as well as an opportunity for social interaction with members of our community.

The conference will be dedicated to the presentation and discussion of works which state the most recent advances in marketing research i.e. concepts (new fields, new concepts), methodology (tools, methods) and empirical results (new areas and applications). We especially encourage proposals for contributions on emerging themes, drawing on innovative theoretical perspectives or using original methodological approaches.

As it will take place in London, the conference will also give the opportunity to exchange with marketing researchers from Europe and everywhere.

Accordingly, we especially wish to encourage:

• Papers with a European dimension and especially works having a comparative aim and proposing applications in different European countries and especially in Great-Britain
• Papers on the edge between marketing and finance, drawing on financial communication and, more largely, papers drawing on the relationship between consumer value creation and shareholder value creation

The best contribution in both fields will be presented an award.

When sending their paper, the authors who wish to compete for this award are invited to indicate “Submission in the category “European Works” or “Submission in the category “Marketing-Finance” on the first cover page of their article.
