From the President: Global Marketing Conference (GMC) Report

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, paperWelcome 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.

Post Conference Housekeeping

Thank you to everyone for the ANZMAC 2011 conference. As the high point of the year, the conference brings with it many results, rewards and outcomes – some of which need to be documented on this site, and some need postprocessing for other places.

Over the next couple of weeks, some sections of the site will be unavailable (Prizes and Awards for example), as the new content is incorporated, and the details and information for 2012 is prepared. Please bear with us as we undertake the upgrades and change.

ANZMAC is also transitioning to a new membership system for 2012, and we have taken down the old membership form whilst we prepare for a better system to buy “Between Conference” memberships. If you are particularly interested in an ANZMAC membership, and did not attend the conference in Perth, e-mail the ANZMAC Webmaster () to be notified when the new system is live.

Everything should be back up in place and running smoothly for the start of 2012

Welcome to the improved ANZMAC.org

Welcome to the (new or improved) version of the ANZMAC website.  Never one to miss a challenge, ANZMAC decided to launch the new variant on the site a few days before the annual conference.  In the fine tradition of technology, we’ll be excusing the construction mess by calling this the “beta edition”. Whilst we’re finishing off the skirting boards and replacing the carpets, here’s a few useful links

ANZMAC 2011 Conference | Conference Social Program | Timetable (XLS) |  @ANZMAC

We’re building the content, expanding the community and developing our way to an interesting future for ANZMAC as an online entity between our annual face to face conferences. To do this, we also need you – we can post calls for papers, job ads and journal special issues to our hearts content, but our LinkedIn pages, Facebook group and other community aspect will only work if people participate, try it out, and get involved.  We’re building the clubhouse, and opening the virtual doors for you to be part of ANZMAC.
