Industrial Marketing Management: News about Associate Editors for Academic-Practitioner Section

We are very pleased to announce our new Academic-Practitioner Section

Industrial Marketing Management aims to serve its managerial constituency by fostering academic-practitioner collaboration and by encouraging research projects that design specific solutions to managerial challenges. With the new Academic-Practitioner section, the journal invites manuscript submissions co-authored by academics and marketing managers. This type of manuscript addresses current topics in the area of industrial and business-to-business markets. The objective of academic-practitioner research is to develop managerially relevant and actionable insights using rigorous scientific methods.

Suitable manuscripts should report how specific marketing actions, processes, or systems were designed, implemented, and evaluated with regards to achieving specific outcomes. Academic-Practitioner manuscripts thus build pragmatic knowledge developed by engaging with real-life problems, challenges, or opportunities in the realm of industrial and business-to-business marketing. The journal will evaluate manuscripts submitted to the section based on pragmatic validity and practical relevance. In a forthcoming editorial, we will discuss in more depth this exciting new section.
