DOCTORAL SYMPOSIUM

Marketing is as old as business itself. The essence of Marketing is creating value – for customers, for firms, for employees, for Governments and for society at all. Rather than seeing Marketing through a narrow prism of “customer buys from a firm, customer gets a product/service and firm earns a profit”, it has become necessary to take a holistic view of Marketing as a function; about how good Marketing affects multiple stakeholders positively.

Therefore, the theme of this year’s Doctoral Symposium is “Marketing and Creating Value”. In this symposium, an eminent panel of anchor faculty will focus on research on the above topic in a holistic fashion: about how Marketing creates value for various stakeholders. The anchor faculty will be drawn from all aspects of Marketing : Consumer Behaviour, Marketing Strategy, Modeling and Services .The content of this symposium would be unique (which we would put up shortly) and for the most part, the material covered in this programme would not be covered in Indian b-school FPM/PhD curriculum.

Please send a mail to nasmei@greatlakes.edu.in. latest by Friday, October 31st 2025.
