We invite systematic reviews on a topic within the domain of Consumer Behavior or Customer Behavior, including (directly or indirectly) related subject areas, which may include, but are not limited to the following areas: · Consumer-Brand relationships, Consumer behaviour B 2 C segment · Self-Regulation including Consumer Goals · Social Influences · Advertising, Marketing Communication and Buyer Behaviour · B2B buying behavior issues including Customer Value, Customer Equity · Consumer/Customer behavior in Services sector including Retailing Submission Window: 15th February to 15th May, 2021 The systematic literature review articles can be of various types and approaches (please see end of this call) including Structured reviews, Framework-based reviews, Theory-based reviews, Methodology-based reviews, Bibliometric reviews, meta-analysis reviews, Reviews aiming for theory development, Integrated reviews). In all types of review articles, at least 20% of the paper should be dedicated for developing future research agenda (Paul & Criado, 2020). Science advances when studies are designed in a way that they build logically on the findings of prior studies (Donthu, Kumar & Pattnaik, 2020; Kumar, Paul & Unnithan, 2020). Consequently, systematic literature review papers allow researchers to identify, critically evaluate and synthesize the existing literature in a transparent rigorous and replicable method (Synder, 2019; Vrontis & Christofi, 2019; Paul & Criado, 2020). At the second decade point in the new millennium, it is appropriate to take stock of the field of consumer research. Review studies then reconcile conflicting findings, identify research gaps, and suggest exciting new directions for a given field of research with reference to Methodology, Theory and Contexts (Canabal & White III, 2008; Hao et al., 2019). Challenges in scholarship (e.g., lack of novelty, poor understanding of theory) emerge when we do not have a systematic understanding of the underlying body of knowledge. The theory and methods of future business research studies will benefit from state-of-the-art insights that are revealed by systematic reviews. Hence, through this special issue, we aim to enhance our understanding of business studies and its underpinnings, to drive novel paradigms and to discourage replete and recycled research. One of the important purposes of this Special Review Issue is to provide ideas and directions to undertake novel research, instead of doing replete and recycled types of research. Challenges emerge when research does not link systematically to the underlying body of knowledge. Thus, it is important in the design of new research for the researcher to have a state-of-the-art understanding of research findings (e.g., empirical generalizations) from the topical domain. High quality, systematic review papers and meta-analyses can provide this state-of-the-art understanding to scholars and thus play an important role in a discipline’s progress. Reason: Collection of Related Literature on the Research Topic has a great role to play in writing quality research papers. We urge researchers to focus on a research agenda development with reference to theories, methods and constructs, as seen in the specimen review articles listed in References. Please refer to guidelines for developing impactful literature reviews highlighted by Snyder (2019) and Paul and Criado (2020). References: Canabal, A., & White III, G. O. (2008).
