The CBSIG Consumer Research in Practice Award recognizes a scholarly consumer research article that contributes significantly to marketing practice. The 2019 award is based on articles that appeared in a refereed journal (including but not limited to Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of the Association for Consumer Research, and Journal of Consumer Psychology) in calendar year 2017. The winning article must meet the following criteria:
• Rigorous scholarly research
• Addresses an important marketing managerial issue
• An explicit objective of contributing to marketing practice
• Strong and compelling marketing implications
• Potential applicability across a range of products, services, and/or industries
And the winners are: Femke van Horen, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and Rik Pieters, Tilburg University, for their article: “Out-of Category Brand Imitation: Product Categorization Determines Copycat Evaluation,” which appeared in the April 2017 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.
Congratulations to All! See you in Austin!
