CFP Macromarketing Conference

Posted on by

Submissions of papers should be sent no later than Thursday, January 31, 2013.

38th Annual Macromarketing Conference on “Macromarketing in the Age of Neoliberalism: What is to be done?”, Schulich School of Business, York University, Toronto, Canada, June 4- 7, 2013

Macromarketers study the cultural, social and political logic of markets and market systems, among other things. So, what then is the role and purpose of macromarketing in times of perpetual economic emergency, recognized even by respected cheerleaders of liberal market capitalism such as the Wall Street Journal and the Harvard Business Review as a crisis of capitalism? As we live in and study a system that produces increasing economic inequality, environmental degradation, new forms of apartheid, the celebration of Apple and the cruelty of Foxconn, new ethical obligations arise; an ethics that perhaps begins with recognizing that slave labor, trafficking of humans and human organs, the incarceration of millions, mass pauperization, and the violence drug and oil wars are not deplorable aberrations of the global capitalist system but are, in fact, constituent of its totality. Yet, the imperative or obligation of such an ethics is not at all clear. If we consider it our duty to study the linkages between the practices of individuals and organizations as actors in markets on the one hand and market processes as an overall coordination mechanism on the other, all we can say is that simply doing our duty as students of marketing systems may no longer do; we must also figure out the substance of our duty.

The conference will therefore focus on the following fields (see detailed track information below):

  • Servants, servitude and the philosophy of service
  • Humanistic Marketing
  • The Violence of Marketing Systems
  • Market Logic(s) and the (Re)production of Precariousness
  • Marketing and psychoanalysis
  • Markets and individualization, insecuritization and depoliticization
  • Marketing Arts culture
  • Marketing systems and corporate dealings (business-to-business markets)
  • The History of Markets and Macromarketing
  • The nature of relationships in market processes
  • Exploring the Performativity of Marketing: theories, practices and devices
  • Market making and marketing in emergent economies / developing countries
  • Markets, ethics, and CSR
  • Marketing systems in the market for political influence
  • Sustainable business models
  • Beyond that papers in all established macromarketing fields of study (e.g., Globalization, Innovation, Consumption Culture, Quality of Life, Poverty, and so on) are invited and can be sent directly to Detlev Zwick at .

Social Business is Good Business

An International Conference to be held at Anadolu University, Turkey, 30 – 31 May 2013

Call for Papers

Few, if any, would argue with the proposition that ‘social business is good business’. However, if asked, it is likely that there would be a wide variation in the interpretation given to the statement by different people. For some, ‘social business’ would be seen as involving the establishment of small enterprises funded by microfinance along the lines advocated by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus while, for others it would mean the adoption of a programme of corporate social responsibility by major profit making corporations committed to paying dividends to their shareholders. And, for others still, it would imply a concern for climate change and environmental degradation and a need for the adoption of a sustainable life style. Or, alternatively, a massive market opportunity to deliver an acceptable standard of living to the world’s poor at the bottom of the pyramid.

Evidently, the notion of ‘social business’ embraces a wide range of subjects including: corporate social responsibility, education, entrepreneurship, environmentalism and climate change, foreign aid and investment – ‘Trade versus Aid?’, globalisation, innovation – social and technological, micro-credit and microfinance, sustainability, transformational marketing, including green marketing, marketing for NPOs and social marketing, volunteer and charitable organisations, and well-being.

The purpose of the conference, sponsored by Anadolu University in collaboration with the journal Social Business, is to bring together academics, policy makers and practitioners to explore these different interpretations with a view to achieving their shared objective of improving human welfare and the quality of life. Informed by Keynote addresses on the nature of social business, transformational marketing, sustainability, and capitalism and the market economy, the conference seeks to attract contributions that will explain and clarify the many different approaches being taken and proposed, as well as documenting implementation and outcomes through case studies and other empirical evidence.

Accordingly, the Conference aims to show case current thinking and research with a view to developing a research agenda for the future.

All papers will be required to show how they contribute to the overall aim of social business – the elimination of poverty and enhancement of human welfare – and may be either conceptually based, where the researcher(s) identify an issue and seek to clarify it through the implementation of a study designed specifically for the purpose, or Action-based research that describes and diagnoses problems or issues associated with the major themes cited earlier, the actions taken to address them and the resulting outcomes.

Competitive Papers must be original and a maximum of 5 pages (single-spaced) excluding abstract, appendices and references. (Papers may contain tables and figures) and Working Papers must be a maximum of 3 pages (single-spaced) excluding abstract, appendices and references. (Papers may contain tables and figures). Full guidelines may be found at the website http://www.westburn-publishers.com/social-business/social-business-conference.html

Submissions should be made by email in accordance with these guidelines not later than 1 December 2012 by email to [email protected].

More details on programme, registration and accommodation are available on the conference website at http://sbau.anadolu.edu.tr/

(Note that this conference will take place immediately before the EMAC 2013 Annual Conference to be held in Istanbul the following week).

CFP Association for Consumer Research North American Conference

Posted on by

Conference website: http://www.acrweb.org/acr/Public/index.aspx

Submission deadline for all conference tracks except the Film Festival: Monday, March 19, 5 p.m. Central Standard Time
Submission deadline for Film Festival entries: Monday, April 30, 5 p.m. Central Standard Time

The 2012 North American Conference of the Association for Consumer Research will be held at the Sheraton Wall Centre Hotel from Thursday, October 4 through Sunday, October 7, 2012. The theme of ACR 2012 is “Appreciating Diversity.” This theme is especially appropriate for ACR Vancouver for at least two reasons. First, we want the conference to acknowledge, capture and celebrate the explosion of topics and research methods that has occurred in consumer research in recent years. The co-chairs and track chairs will seek to highlight scholarship that contributes to diversity in terms of innovative topics, adds to knowledge in established areas in unheralded ways, embraces diverse research applications and a wide array of consumers, and contributes to inclusiveness in our field. Second, the theme is fitting because of the progressive approach by our conference city, Vancouver, to embrace diversity on multiple fronts. Not only is the city varied in its population and economic base, but it also offers a breathtaking array of experiences rooted in its geography and its culture.

Additional information: ACR 2012 Call For Papers available here.
