AMA-EBSCO Annual Award for Responsible Research in Marketing

PARTNER ORGANIZATION: American Marketing Association

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.
