2018 AMA Global Marketing SIG Conference in Santorini, Greece
Due to numerous requests, the Organizing Committee has decided to extend the submission deadline by a week till Sunday October 8th.
Call for Papers
May 21-23, 2018
Santorini, Greece
"Global Marketing in Times of Uncertainty"
Extended Submission Deadline: October 8, 2017
Conference Venue
Santorini is a popular place to visit and stay. It is located in the most southern part of the Cyclades group of Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, about 200km
southeast of Greece’s mainland. Beyond the pretty whitewashed towns, blue-domed churches and world-famous sunsets, the island itself was the site of one of the largest volcanic eruptions in the world and what remains today is a submerged volcano and a caldera.
Santorini is frequently regarded as one of the best destinations in the world with rich cultural history. It has an airport and great ferry connections with the mainland and other neighboring islands.
Conference Highlights
Journal of International Marketing Special Issue –
Editor-in-Chief Costas Katsikeas will invite the most promising papers submitted to the conference for publication in the Journal of International Marketing. Promising papers from the conference will be identified by the track chairs and journal editors. To
be considered for publication in JIM, papers must subsequently be submitted to JIM and undergo a double-blind review process.
Doctoral Consortium – We invite
doctoral students with a focus at the intersection of marketing and international business to participate. The Consortium will provide a unique opportunity for doctoral students to further develop their research ideas, to learn about the challenges of conducting
international marketing research and building a successful academic career in this field, and to broaden their professional network.
Unique Cultural Experience – There
is something truly magical about Santorini. Maybe it’s the dramatic landscape of jagged hills that plunge into the bright blue waters of the Aegean Sea. Maybe it’s the villages of whitewashed houses and churches, perched precariously on the edge of the island’s
tall cliffs. Maybe it’s the cuisine, known to be one of the finest in Greece. Or maybe it’s the island’s history, which goes back as far as recorded history can go. The future of Greece continues to dominate global marketing as the country has been going through times
of uncertainty.
Network with the World’s Leading International Marketing Scholars - The
conference program will be designed to maximize professional development and networking opportunities. Several of the world’s leading thinkers in international marketing have confirmed their intentions to participate in the conference.
Submission
Please submit your papers electronically via the EasyChair Conference Paper Submission
System. The submission system is now opened. The deadline for all submissions is October 8, 2017. For up-to-date information about the conference and related events, please check the conference website at (http://www.amaglobalsig.org/upcoming-sig-conferences). Any
questions regarding this call for papers should be addressed to the appropriate track chair(s) or the Program Chairs.
We welcome two types of submissions:
Please note that submitting a manuscript as a competitive paper does not necessarily mean it will end up in a competitive session. The best papers in
each track will be placed into the competitive sessions while lesser developed papers will be placed in interactive sessions. The number of competitive papers we can accept for the conference is limited and therefore sometimes fully developed papers will be
placed in an interactive format session due to space considerations.

Doctoral Consortium
We would like to draw your attention to the Doctoral Consortium that is currently being organized as part of the Global Marketing SIG Conference in Santorini,
Greece. The Consortium will take place prior to the opening reception on May 21, 2018.
This Consortium will provide a rare opportunity for Ph.D. students with an interest in international marketing (broadly defined) to further develop their
research ideas, to learn about the challenges of conducting research in international marketing and building a successful academic career in this field. In addition, students will be able to broaden their professional networks in the area.
The goal of the Consortium will be to provide a supportive discussion among doctoral students and the participating faculty on topics such as:
Trends in international marketing research,
Challenges in carrying out high-impact international marketing research aimed at top journals,
Managing the dissertation and the job search process, and
Starting an academic career.
In addition, students will have the opportunity to receive feedback on their current research projects submitted to the conference as well as ideas and guidance
for their future research agenda.
The Consortium will consist of a combination of panel discussions with leading scholars in the field, focusing on the topics listed above and small group
discussions in which students will share their current projects and receive feedback and guidance. With the goal of facilitating a constructive dialog on the topics listed above, the ideal candidates for the Consortium are doctoral students in marketing or
international business who are focusing on developing their research agenda.
Students should submit their papers electronically via the EasyChair
Conference Paper Submission System. Please include:
1.
A letter stating your stage in the Ph.D. program and research interests.
2.
Abstract of a current research project focused on international marketing (not to exceed 1 page, single spaced). Please include the title, author information,
abstract, keywords, and research summary. Diagrams, tables, and references should be provided at the end of the document but do not count towards the 1-page limit. The abstract should succinctly cover the research question, theoretical background, proposed
research design, and intended contribution. NOTE: If any candidates have already submitted papers to the conference via one of the tracks, simply state in the letter the title of the submission and the track to which it was submitted. In these cases, it is
not necessary to submit a separate abstract in order to apply. Please combine both parts of your application into one file.
A limited number of travel stipends will be available for consortium participants. Please note on your application your need for a travel stipend.
After Submission
All competitive manuscript submissions will be subject to a blind review process and will be evaluated based on interest to the international marketing community,
relevance to international marketing research, teaching and/or practice, analytical and conceptual rigor, quantitative and qualitative methods (if applicable), innovativeness, and significance of conclusions.
