Overview:

Recently, there have been increasingly louder calls for more research in emerging markets, in order to both advance the discipline of marketing and ensure its managerial relevance. Indeed, emerging markets are fundamentally different from the industrialised nations in which scientific research has traditionally been conducted, calling into question, therefore, marketing’s conceptual and theoretical foundations. The growing importance of emerging markets in the world economy suggests that understanding the practice of marketing in emerging markets is critical to an organisation’s success.

The focus of this special issue, therefore, is on marketing in emerging markets. More specifically, it aims to explore both the scientific discipline and practice of marketing, in the context of emerging markets. The guest editors welcome:

  1. conceptual, theoretical, critical, and managerial submissions;
  2. both quantitative and qualitative methods; and
  3. all research approaches, including experiments, empirical work, cases, and interpretive studies.
