Welcome!

Alliance University will be hosting the Inaugural AIM-AMA Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium. It will be held from July 27-29, 2012 at Alliance University (AU) in Bangalore, India.

About this Event
This is the first time the American Marketing Association and the Sheth Foundation are holding this prestigious Consortium outside of North America with the support of the Academy of Indian Marketing. We expect this to be an annual event outside of North America. The Doctoral Consortium, originally conceptualized in 1966 in the U.S.A., has provided an invaluable platform for aspiring doctoral students across leading universities to further their development through interactions with leading academics in the marketing discipline. We are emulating a similar format to stimulate rigor and relevance in scholarly research and teaching among the best doctoral students in emerging markets.

Note: This doctoral consortium is not replacing the traditional AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium held in North America. The AIM-AMA Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium hosted by Institutions in Emerging Markets is modeled after the traditional consortium to stress the importance of rigor and relevance in an academic career.
