The purpose of Journal of Marketing & Social Research is to share research among the members of scientific community that contributes significantly to the theory and practice of management. The research published by Journal of Marketing & Social Research is envisioned to contribute on theory development as well as bringing a change in the management practices of organizations. Articles should have a mix of theoretical and practical contributions; so pure academic papers should have practical/managerial implications. Papers should be of some relevance to at least a segment of the population of practicing market or social researchers.
