Submission Deadline: June 1, 2015

This special issue is dedicated to innovations in marketing pedagogy. Innovations may focus on instruction related to any aspect of marketing, from any marketing-related course, at either the graduate or undergraduate level. Ideal papers will document innovations that have been used and refined, allowing for ready adoption by readers.

Electronic submission to the guest editor is required. Each electronic submission should contain two Microsoft WORD files (no pdf files accepted). The cover page document should include the title of the paper (upper/lower case), name, position and complete contact information for each author. The other document should contain just the manuscript without any author-identifying information.

Please consult the Marketing Education Review website at www.marketingeducationreview.com for details on the formatting style of the abstract, references, tables or figures. Multiple submissions are permitted, however the 10-page double-spaced maximum, including references, tables and figures (not including the cover page) should be respected. Use 12-point font and APA style. Feel free to contact the guest editors with any questions.
