This SIG consists of a
group of faculty and Ph.D. students interested in examining marketing issues in
a retailing context. We seek as goals to communicate and house information of
relevance to the field, and to further the field of retailing research and
teaching by strengthening the community of scholars involved in the field as
well as by attracting bright new scholars to it.
At
the Summer AMA Educators’ Conference, we annually celebrate and recognize an
individual for his/her Lifetime Achievement. In 2012 we introduced the first
Lifetime Achievement Award in Pricing to acknowledge outstanding contributions
in the field of pricing over the past 20 years.. The first recipient for this award was Dhruv
Grewal (Ph.D. Virginia Tech), the Toyota Chair in Commerce and Electronic
Business and a Professor of Marketing at Babson College.
The
Retail and Pricing SIG will begin alternating Lifestyle Achievement Awards for
research in Retail and Pricing. Lifetime
Achievement Awards for scholarly bodies of work in Retail will be awarded in
odd years and Lifetime Achievement Awards for scholarly bodies of work in
Pricing will be awarded in even years.
