The AMA is working with EBSCO, Sheth Foundation, and the Responsible Research for Business and Management (RRBM) network to offer an award for published papers that promote responsible research in Marketing that exemplify the 7 principles of responsible research as outlined by the RRBM Network.
The purpose of this award is to recognize already-published responsible research in marketing where responsible research is defined as work that produces both useful and credible knowledge.
– Useful knowledge addresses important social challenges and provides meaningful implications that have the potential to inform policies and practices. Findings and insights from useful research will have implications beyond what is good for the financial performance of firms and will have wider societal implications beyond that of the particular consumer group, firm, or employee group studied.
– Credible knowledge refers to the reliability and validity or trustworthiness of the findings, in either inductive or deductive work, using either qualitative or quantitative data, or both.
Nomination Deadline: 5 January 2024
Examples of topics might include: societal benefits of corporate social responsibility initiatives; responsible marketing of potentially harmful products/services; improving public health by addressing chronic disease, including obesity; responsible marketing to vulnerable consumer segments; promoting the financial well-being of at-risk consumers; improving consumer privacy protection; and increasing access to quality healthcare.
