Clayton Doctoral Dissertation Proposal Competition. Started in 1984, this annual competition is intended to encourage doctoral work on topics of importance to the marketing community. Students submitted their dissertation proposals in August 2017, at a point when their dissertation work was no more than 50% completed.<\/p>\n<p>The finalists were selected from an incredibly large number of submissions, representing an increase of nearly 50% year over year, and the pool of proposals was especially competitive. Multiple blind evaluations of each submission were solicited from outside academic experts. We are deeply grateful to the many marketing scholars who generously contributed their time to serve as reviewers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WINNERS<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Robert E.
