Abstract
Purpose:
– To introduce the contents of this special issue on research in marketing and comment on the development of the discipline in UK universities.
Design/methodology/approach:
– Relates each paper to a taxonomy of academic research and comments on their content. Examines major trends in higher education and relates them to the fortunes of marketing educators.
Findings:
– There are reasons to be cheerful about academic marketing in the UK: there are clearly opportunities to publish in the world's leading academic journals, increased funding for the discipline, the acceptability of a wide range of methodologies and the increasing influence of marketing. Less encouraging is the naïve and destructive competition between universities and the consequent destruction of academic development.
Research limitations/implications:
– This is a UK perspective that depends on limited knowledge of other than a few other countries.
Practical implications:
– There are good reasons to be positive about an academic career in marketing, but also a desperate need to tackle the naïve strategies of universities and to intervene to mend the gaps in the development of academic marketers.
Originality/value:
– Gives an insight in to the range of research in marketing, and an insight into the opportunities and pitfalls of a career in academic marketing research.
