Coronavirus Update
The Sheth Foundation has moved to virtual activities due to COVID-19 challenges. Some activities have shifted to virtual formats and some events have been postponed. For example, the European Marketing Academy Conference-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Dissertation Competition ordinarily culminates in presentations by three finalists at the EMAC Conference. When this year’s EMAC Conference in Budapest was canceled, the Selection Committee (Eitan Muller, Michael Haenlein and Ajay Kohli) conferred with EMAC President, Luk Warlop, and Sheth Foundation President, Ruth Bolton, about how best to move forward. The decision was made for the three finalists to make virtual presentations that would be open to EMAC members. The Competition finalists will receive their cash awards this year, and will be recognized at 2021 EMAC.
2020 AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium
The 2020 AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium has been cancelled due to COVID-19, but Consortium Fellows will be engaged in substitute activities. Consequently, Indiana University will host the AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium in 2021, and the University of Texas – Austin and BI Norwegian Business School have graciously agreed to move their hosting to the following consecutive years.
