eISSN: 1741301X | ISSN: 14705931 | Current volume: 24 | Current issue: 3 Frequency: Quarterly

Marketing Theory provides a fully peer-reviewed specialised academic medium and main reference for the development and dissemination of alternative and critical perspectives on marketing theory.

There are a growing number of researchers and management practitioners who believe that conventional marketing theory is often ill-suited to the challenges of the modern business environment. Marketing Theory creates a high quality, specialist outlet for management and social scientists who are committed to developing and reformulating marketing as an academic discipline by critically analysing existing theory.

"I received a copy of Marketing Theory, Vol. 1, No. 1, and I read your article "Are Current Research Approaches in Marketing Leading Us Astray?" Great article. We should insist that it be read in every Ph.D. marketing class on methods."
Philip Kotler, Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University, USA

Marketing Theory provides a fully peer reviewed specialised academic medium and main reference for the development and dissemination of alternative and critical perspectives on marketing theory.

A growing number of researchers and management practitioners who believe that conventional marketing theory is often ill suited to the challenges of the modern business environment. The aim of Marketing Theory is to create a high quality, specialist outlet for management and social scientists who are committed to developing and reformulating marketing as an academic discipline by critically analysing existing theory. The journal promotes an ethos that is explicitly theory driven; international in scope and vision; open, reflexive, imaginative and critical; and interdisciplinary.

Focus on Theory
The journal encompasses theoretical, methodological and substantive debates and developments in marketing theory. Marketing Theory publishes articles covering different aspects of theory, including strategy, consumer behaviour, new product development and more. Research that builds on different methodological and disciplinary positions is particularly welcome. It is not the intention to promote any particular research or normative position. Both conceptual and empirical papers are equally encouraged. The editors particularly encourage contributions from academics at the start of their career as a positive strategy to create more interest in theory among new generations of the marketing academy.

Themes
The journal is not limited to specific areas of marketing but covers the whole range of marketing issues.
