MSI Conference: Effective Marketing Spending

03/02/10 – 03/03/10
University of California, Los Angeles

Academics are encouraged to attend this MSI event. Space is extremely limited and registrations will be accepted on a first-come basis.

Marketing’s goals—such as building the brand or securing customer loyalty—are not easily translated into effective budgets. Yet these budget allocation decisions are known to be critical to the revenue, market-share, and profit performance of firms.

This conference will focus on sound principles for effective marketing resource allocation, and the ways in which leading-edge companies put these principles to work. The event will be structured around three modules that become more strategic in focus as the conference progresses. Each module will feature an overview of governing principles, two case studies, and an audience discussion of challenges that require future research attention.
