Conference Program - Atlantic Marketing Association
October 9-12 2013 ATLANTIC MARKETING ASSOCIATION NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Marketing as Art and Science for the Future 1 Greetings from the 2013 Atlantic Marketing Association Program Chair We welcome you to this annual conference that has successfully mixed marketing themes of interest to both practitioners and academics alike. Although in the past, we have tried to cater to the needs of marketing educators, newbies and tenured faculty, we have tried to attract others that love the discipline of marketing for the many contributions it has made to our lives. As educators, we have had the envious position of making a career of educating the next generation of marketing professionals – and, hopefully, having fun doing so. This year, a new track in music, arts, and entertainment has been added, as well as the traditional areas of consumer behavior, green marketing, marketing strategy, to name a few. The Atlantic Marketing Conference has always enjoyed a reputation of providing an interesting and informal, but professional, forum of learning and renewing friendships and academic interests. I am sure that this year will continue in that direction. It is the ideal time to explore the challenges and successes of marketing education in a global environment and promote higher education in general. Special thanks go to the AtMA faculty, staff, and student volunteers without whom this conference would not have been possible. We look forward to thought-provoking discussions that will effect meaningful change. Alan D. Smith University Professor, Robert Morris University, AtMA 2013 Conference Chair 2 2013 ATLANTIC MARKETING ASSOCIATION Nashville, Tennessee Dear Conference Participant, Welcome to Nashville, TN and the 2013 Atlantic Marketing Association Annual Conference!

Expected Publication in 2013. Innovations in the Theory and Practice of Marketing Sponsored by: Axcess Capon Special Edition Editor: Dr. Deborah Lester dlester@kennesaw.edu Please contact Dr. Lester for submission due dates and other information 40 ********************* CALL FOR PAPERS ********************* SUBMISSION DUE DATE: March 1, 2014 SPECIAL ISSUE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, E-‐PERSONALIZATION, AND MEDIATED SPORTS JOURNAL OF ELECTRONIC COMMERCE IN ORGANIZATIONS (JECO) Guest Editor: Alan D. Smith, Ph.D., Robert Morris University INTRODUCTION: There is little doubt that the transformation power of the Internet has greatly impacted and revised theoretical frameworks for research, especially concerning media coverage and content of sport-‐ related activities. Sport research, has an enviable position in that it has a universal significance, ubiquitous presence, and overall importance to its growth and viability in society. Unfortunately, this popularity greatly influences what is considered relevant themes or research threads. As web-‐ based technological innovations increase, so have empirically-‐based methodologies to measure their impacts on consumers of such sport media. Mass communication, coupled with technical innovations that promote ease-‐of-‐use and greater accessibility, has significantly changed the commercial landscape of sport-‐related information and marketing gathering by its fans/consumers. There are many theories that have suggested an overall theoretical framework, the newness, intimacy, and immediacy of the Internet has suggested a more emergent, but still structured, approach. Consumers of sport-‐related materials are redefining how organizations’ leverage of media attempts to communicate with them in the most effective ways. Sometimes this communication occurs at a tacit level, even without our conscious consent, as in the case of eye-‐ tracking methodologies. A message’s reach (i.e. broadcast to multiple audiences) and richness (i.e. personalized content) via mass media and its research seems to have gone beyond simple content analyses of sport websites. Such analysis has often failed to consider a user’s goal-‐direction, a more long-‐term or strategic direction of the organization. Hence, it appears that a number of Internet technology’s impacts on sports are driven by media is most successful tactics, “The press may not be successful much of the time in telling people what to think, but it is stunningly successful in telling its readers what to think about” (Cohen, 1963, p. 177). Still, principles of strategic management, namely mission and vision statements and the role of leadership, are important in research efforts to understand and model media theory and sport-‐related communications. Most competitive businesses (both for-‐profit and nonprofit organizations) have successfully employed mission and vision statements for years; not having an official Internet vision illustrates a significant organizational weakness and misalignment of business and marketing strategies. OBJECTIVES OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE: 1. This special issue will explore the impacts of social media and its related technological developments, such as Facebook™, MySpace™, YouTube™, and Wikipedia™, which 41 ultimately allow the consuming public the opportunity to express their opinions and shape their future viewing experience. 2. The consuming public is not the only stakeholder involved in the media experience. Corporate sponsors, sports writers, broadcasters, sports executives, and players must all be considered in setting an agenda that meets their needs as well. 3. Research designs are needed to adequately address and measure the impacts of the other stakeholders in promoting appropriate messages in mass media. Some designs may be technology-‐specific, while other designs are more strategic than tactical in that they are ensuring that the proper goals of the organization are properly communicated in the selected media channel. 4. Websites of organizations should be organized to maximize positive corporate image control and minimizing the impact of competing stimuli, not just maximizing merchandising opportunities. 5. Although research studies can be designed to look at the individual behavior level, there needs to be a renewed focus on understanding the strategic goal of a sport organization, both in its formulation and implementation, and how best to utilize the various media channels available to convey the messages that sport organizations want to project. 6. Strategic management issues as they relate to sport management as they relate to electronic organizations are especially important in this special issue. 7. All forms of electronic engagement, such as fantasy sports, using various IT platforms will be encouraged in this special issue. The emphasis will be in the sport-‐related area, but other service specific applications will be considered.
