Abstract:

This paper examines US marketing academics' perceptions of the most pressing issues for theory, practice and academia. The context is provided by an examination of individual and institutional demographic factors; how academics spend their time and what are their teaching/research interests. An analysis of the perceptions suggests there is a need to develop a more comprehensive marketing theory, as well as better integrate theory and practice. These outcomes appear to be limited by increased work pressures including the necessity of maintaining academic standards.
