American Marketing Association / Marketing Accountability Standards Board Common Terms Project

Posted on by

The American Marketing Association, in conjunction with the Marketing Accountability Standards Board of the Marketing Accountability Foundation are working to establish one common marketing language.

The objective of the project is to eliminate ambiguity in marketing terminology within organizations and across the marketing industry by establishing common language for marketing activities and metrics. The team is using Wikipedia as a repository for this growing list of marketing terms and metrics.

To become more transparent and accountable, it is ever more important for marketing to add precision to its common language. The growing list of terms with links to the Wikipedia entries can found on the Marketing Accountability Standard Board’s web site, a valuable new resource for practitioners and academics and students of marketing. The AMA’s online dictionary also contains links to the Wikipedia entries.

Establishing common language and definitions of marketing activities and metrics will eliminate ambiguity in marketing terminology and encourage trust and collaboration within and across the marketing industry & business communities. Marketing activities and metrics added or edited by MASB on Wikipedia include:

The common language terms and definitions are located here:

ANZMAC Conference Proceedings ERA Information 2012

Posted on by

For those of us in the ERA cycle, the following information is provided to assist in the submission of your 2012 ANZMAC papers to your research office for ERA classification

ANZMAC is an E1 conference (with the exclusion of those papers where the authors only submitted an abstract). It has been peer reviewed in a double blind peer review process, and meets the ERA requirements for a refereed conference paper.

  • that the conference paper meets the ERA definition of research (section 3.1);
    • research is defined as the creation of new knowledge and/or the use of existing knowledge in a new and creative way so as to generate new concepts, methodologies and understandings.
  • that the conference paper has been made publicly available by the publication having an ISSN or ISBN;
    • ISBN: 978-0-646-56330-5
  • that the peer review process meets the standard specified in section 5.4.8.7;
    • an acceptable peer review process is one that involves an assessment or review, before publication, of the research output in its entirety by independent, qualified experts. Independent in this context means independent of the author
    • All ANZMAC papers are subject to double blind peer review, and Track Chair review prior to publication. This exceeds the minimum requirements
  • that the conference paper has been published in full (i.e. not an abstract); and
  • that the conference paper has not been submitted to ERA 2012 in any other citable form (e.g. a journal article).

For confirmation, ERA 2012 Submission Guidelines, have the following requirements

The Academy is seeking EOI from individuals or groups located at one of the Australian or New Zealand universities or a consortia of establishments.

EOIs should address vision for the journal, strategies to enhance the quality of submissions and the impact of the journal, and planned relationship with the publisher as well as any other matters considered important. The EOI should be accompanied by curriculum vitae for each person who is nominating as an individual editor or as part of an editorial group. Please specify in your submission whether a 3 or 5 year term is proposed.

EOIs close Friday, 23 November and should be submitted to the chair of the search committee, Prof Gillian Sullivan-Mort, <>. The search committee will aim to interview applicants at the forthcoming ANZMAC conference in Adelaide.

From the President: Global Marketing Conference (GMC) Report

Posted on by

Global Marketing Conference (GMC) Report

The 2012 GMC was held in Seoul, Korea and was jointly organised and hosted by the Korean Scholars of Marketing Science (KSMS), Japan Society of Marketing and Distribution (JSMD), European Marketing Academy (EMAC), International Textiles and Apparel Association (ITAA) and the Australian & New Zealand Marketing Academy (ANZMAC). The conference was attended by 500+ delegates from 40 countries and papers were spread over 110 sessions.

ANZMAC’s involvement and presence was twofold; to run an ANZMAC Symposium and to develop stronger ties between our two academies. Janet McColl-Kennedy did a great job on the former and I was charges with the latter. Roger Marshall, Rod Brodie and Harmen Oppewal were also delegates and involved in various capacities.

My own objective was met over a series of engagements all highlighting cooperation and dialogue. A short summary follows:

  1. Thursday 19/VII – Attended Welcome Reception.
  2. Thursday 19/VII – Attended VIP Dinner.
  3. Friday 20/VII – Attended Journal of Global Scholars of Marketing Science (JGSMS) / Journal of Global Fashion Marketing (JGFM) Editorial Board Review Meeting.
  4. Friday 20/VII – Attended and presented at EMAC-KSMS Special Sessions, paper “Welcome to the new Normal – now learn to navigate it”.
  5. Friday 20/VII – Conference Dinner ‘Welcome Speech’.
  6. Saturday 21/VII – MoU (GAMMA) Breakfast Meeting
  7. Saturday 21/VII – Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) – KSMS Joint Symosium Panelist “Cutting Edge Issues in Global Marketing Research”
  8. Saturday 21/VII – Conference Lunch Awards Presenter.
  9. Saturday 21/VII – MoU (GAMMA) Signing Ceremony.
  10. Saturday 21/VII – KSMS – ANZMAC Business Meeting.
  11. Saturday 21/VII – Meet Young Leaders in Marketing.

The MoU mentioned above (GAMMA) arrived in my Inbox shortly before I left Otago. GAMMA, Global Association of Marketing and Management Academies is an initiative led by the Koreans and, I understand, encouraged by Arch Woodside. In Korea all parties were keen and willing to sign. On that basis I made an executive decision, on consulting Rod and Roger, to sign too. As seen by the attached file, it commits us to nothing but has sent a very positive signal. There was discussion at the breakfast meeting and I took the opportunity to diplomatically edit the original document as well as changing the order that ‘marketing’ and ‘management’ appear in the text. There were attempts to open discussion on preferential conference rates across for members of GAMMA. I declined on our behalf as that is a big issue and could have financial implications for ANZMAC.

In summary, I believe we served ANZMAC well and everyone left Korea energised by the potential such cooperation holds. It was also good to catch up with Udo Wagner, President EMAC. All my travel, accommodation and conference costs were met by Otago.

ANZMAC / Korean Scholars of Marketing Science Conference report

Posted on by

The Global Marketing Conference is hosted by the Korean Scholars of Marketing Science and held once every two years. In July this year the co-hosts in Seoul were the Japan Society of Marketing and Distribution, the European Marketing Academy, the International Textile and Apparel Association, and ANZMAC. This makes it one the very largest Marketing conferences in the world, with 1,100 submissions from 44 countries (an acceptance rate of 50%) and 110 sessions. Your International subcommittee of the Executive, of Roger Marshall and Richard Fletcher, arranged for a very successful ANZMAC Symposium, on Co-creation, within the larger GMC conference. Roger is also on the Board of KSMS, which helped smooth the way. The Conference was brilliantly organised, with excellent cultural entertainment, great food, a very high standard of paper and was held in the huge COEX complex in the heart of Seoul.

Our Janet McColl Kennedy acted as Chair of the ANZMAC Symposium, collected and edited the papers, and introduced the topic and speakers in collaboration with Steve Vargo, whilst Ken Deans was a main Conference Co-Chair. Roger was lucky enough to win the “Best Overall Conference Reviewer” Award, whilst Ken was kept busy plotting and planning further cooperation with our Asian colleagues (more of that from him later). The list of Colloquium participants, below, shows a good representation of ANZMAC and Friends, and the standard of paper did you all proud, trust me! ANZMAC is busy keeping our flag flying in Asia!

Participation – Higher Education Staff Data Collection Review

Posted on by

On 25 May 2012, the Department of Industry, Innovation, Science, Research and Tertiary Education (DIISRTE) released an issues paper for the Higher Education Staff Data Collection Review.  The purpose of the Review is to determine how effectively the collection meets the needs of key stakeholders, and to consider recent issues raised by the sector, including the data used for the student to staff ratio. 

The Review will also consider whether any data currently reported may no longer be required. Submissions for this Review will be due by Monday 2 July 2012.

The issues paper can be found at: Issues paper ( PDF 735KB | DOCX 378KB)

The Department is interested in hearing about other ways that the current data is being used by individuals and organisations. Feedback from the sector will help to determine which parts of the collection are most relevant or need to be changed to meet the needs of the sector.
Key Questions:

  • 1. What do you or your organisation use the Staff Data Collection for?
  • 2. Does the current collection meet your needs or the needs of your organisation?
  • 3. What staff data is collected that is no longer useful? What staff data is not collected but would be useful?
  • 4. Are there any issues for providers if the Staff Data Collection is expanded to include information on the main campus location of each academic staff and to include offshore staff?
  • 5. Are there any issues for providers to report additional information on staff qualifications?
  • 6. What are the issues in extending staff data reporting requirements to all private higher education providers?
  • 7. How can the university-specific data elements be revised to reflect the structures and practices in private higher education providers?
  • 8. Is it possible for private higher education providers to report their staff under the current work level classifications ? If not, what are possible alternatives?
  • 9. Are there any issues for providers to apportion and report FTE weight to each activity undertaken by staff working in one organisational unit?
  • 10. What additional staff functions classifications would be most useful (in addition to teaching and research)? 
  • 11. Are there any issues for providers to report information (in line with reporting requirements for academic staff employed directly by the provider) on contract staff and staff employed by third party arrangements?
  • 12. Should Honorary and unpaid staff be included in the Staff Data Collection?
  • 13. If so, how should their teaching and research efforts be measured and recorded?
  • 14. Should the data collection for both full-time and fractional full-time staff, and casual staff be consistent? If so, is there a preference for a ‘point in time’ or an annual total?
  • 15. Are there any issues for providers to implement the proposed change to the casual staff file by 2014?
  • 16. Is the current method of converting casual hours to full-time equivalence accurate? If not, how can it be improved?
  • 17. Is the proposed method of calculating FTE using actual earnings /annual salary feasible?
  • 18. How does your institution or organisation use the staff-student ratio (SSR?)  Is there a better measure than the SSR that meets the needs of your organisation?
  • 19. What should and should not be included in the calculation of SSR?
  • 20. What other changes could be made to the Staff Data Collection for the purposes of the SSR?
  • 21.  What are the issues facing your institution in implementing the proposed changes from 2013 (for 2012 data) or 2014 (for 2013 data)?
  • 22.  What do you estimate would be the approximate cost for your institution of implementing the proposed changes?

Submission and Consultation Processes
 The Department invites submissions from providers and key stakeholders in the higher education sector on the issues outlined in this paper and on any other key issues identified by the sector.  Submissions will help to inform the Department’s advice to the Minister regarding proposed changes to the Higher Education Staff Data Collection. The Government will consult with key stakeholders and peak bodies on any proposed changes. This Review is expected to be completed around September 2012.  The timeline for implementation of any changes will be considered in light of feedback in the submissions.
