Points of Note regarding the Conference
  • Superb Quality of Research:The Great Lakes-NASMEI Conference is among the finest International conferences in the marketing area in India. During the past four years we have had presentations by professors and doctoral students from leading schools in U.S.A., India, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Hong Kong; approximately half from U.S.A. and other countries and half from India.
  • Doctoral Colloquium:The evening before the conference, we will have a free doctoral colloquium. Doctoral students would be divided into groups of 4-6 and they would be assigned to a mentor. They can get valuable feedback from their mentors.
  • Free Trip to Mahabalipuram: The conference will be held at the Great Lakes Institute of Management campus in Manamai, just 9 kms. from the tourist town of Mahabalipuram. This year, like the last time, we will organize a free trip to Mahabalipuram for interested delegates. Manamai is also just 55 kms. from the city of Chennai, 50 kms. from the temple town of Kanchipuram, and 85 kms. from Pondicherry. Interested delegates can visit these places also on their own.
  • Convenient Accommodation:We will organize accommodation for delegates
    • on the campus itself,
    • in Mahabalipuram and
    • in Chennai
  • The on-campus accommodation would cost roughly Rs. 1600 per day (one per room) and Rs. 900 a day (two per room). Rates in Mahabalipuram and Chennai would vary from Rs. 1500 a day to Rs. 6000 a day. For those who wish to commute from Chennai, we will provide pick-up and drop-off from a centralized location in Chennai. The trip will take approximately one hour each way. We recommend that you stay on campus since Great Lakes offers very good accommodation at reasonable prices.
  • Convenient Timing of Conference:The conference will be held on December 29th and 30th (Saturday and Sunday). Typically this is a holiday period for everyone with excellent weather and the music season in the Chennai area. So delegates can come, present their papers, and either head back, or go on a holiday in Tamil Nadu with numerous things to see nearby.

Fifth Great Lakes-NASMEI Marketing Conference, December 29-30, 2011
The Kotler Srinivasan Center for Research in Marketing proudly presented the 5th Great Lakes NASMEI (North American Society for Marketing Education in India) at Great Lakes Institute of Management on Dec 29 and 30 of 2011. This year, we received an overwhelming response; 80 delegates came from all over the world - the US, Australia, New Zealand and of course, India. The turnout would have been much higher but unfortunately, Cyclone Thane played spoilsport and struck nearby Pondicherry exactly on the days of the conference. Still, the delegates braved the rain and wind cheerfully. The students and Great Lakes staff were hospitality personified and went out of their way to help the delegates even for minute matters, something that was greatly appreciated by the latter.

In a gala opening, first, Dean Bala V Balachandran of Great Lakes Institute of Management warmly welcomed the gathering in his inimitable way. He spoke of the growing stature of the Great Lakes NASMEI conference and mentioned that MSI (Marketing Science Institute, the world's leading body for industry-research interaction in Marketing) co-sponsoring the Great Lakes NASMEI Conference spoke volumes about the quality of the conference.

The Keynote speaker Professor Sridhar Moorthy, Manny Rotman Professor of Marketing, Rotman School of Business, University of Toronto delivered a riveting address. His talk on the latest techniques in empirical research in Marketing was an eye opener for almost all, especially the PhD students in attendance. Prof. Moorthy is a highly acclaimed and distinguished researcher. He has published multiple times in all the leading marketing journals. Dean Fenwick Huss of the Robinson School of Business, Georgia State University delivered the Special Address. In his speech, Dean Huss stressed the importance of research and teaching. He also extolled the values that Great Lakes stands for and mentioned this as a key reason why Robinson School tied up with Great Lakes.

The function also saw a book on "Sales and Distribution Management" co-authored by the prolific Prof. Tapan Panda, Director, Kotler-Srinivasan Center for Marketing Research and Professor (Marketing), Great Lakes, being released by Dean Huss and Professor Moorthy.

The papers that were presented were in all areas of Marketing - advertising, consumer behaviour, pricing, customer relationship management (CRM), retailing, B2B marketing, research methods, services marketing and others. This also makes our conference one of the most eclectic ones in the world. A special feature our conference has always been the special sessions for PhD students. They received valuable feedback from stalwarts of the field who would be in attendance.

All in all, while the weather made things wet, it did not dampen the spirits of the delegates or the organizers. This meant that when the final bell rang on the last paper presented, delegates walked away happy, knowing that they had attended one of the finest Marketing conferences in India, indeed Asia.
