Current Research Papers by the Wharton Marketing Faculty

This page lists, alphabetically by faculty author, research papers which are "working papers," that is, the research is still in progress. Many of these papers have been submitted to refereed journals for feedback, but the authors also appreciate comments from peers and other readers. These papers will usually be published in a research journal or as a chapter in a book within a year or two (and are then removed from this list).

Papers in the former Marketing Department Working Papers Series, which included selected papers by Marketing faculty from 1987 to 1994 and from 1995 to 2001, are not available.

We are striving to make all working papers available online in Adobe's PDF format, but in some cases this has not been possible. If you wish to contact the author about an unavailable paper, please use the e-mail link provided next to his or her name.

Use the Search button at the top of this page to find a specific topic in such key decision areas as competitive strategy, creating and managing customer value, new product development and diffusion, and increasing marketing mix effectiveness, as well as a variety of miscellaneous topics.
