MISSION AND PURPOSE OF THE LOUIS W.
STERN AWARD
The Louis W. Stern Award, established by Louis W. and Rhona L. Stern in 1999
through the American Marketing Association Foundation, recognizes the
outstanding article, in a widely recognized and highly respected refereed
journal, which has made a significant contribution to the literature on marketing
and channels distribution.
ELIGIBILITY
An article will be eligible for award consideration each year between three and
eight calendar years after publication in a refereed journal in any applied or
basic discipline. Once the eight-year eligibility time has passed, an article
will no longer be eligible for consideration. Nomination of articles is
accepted in September and October and a winner is selected in November.
The Award is presented at the AMA Winter Educators’ Conference. A partial list of articles eligible for

Stern Award include:
* Quality of the article's contribution to theory and practice.
* Originality of the article.
