Excellence in Marketing
At Stern, we strive towards marketing excellence by pioneering research in the industry and tackling real-world matters in the classroom. Ranked as one of the top five departments in the world based on research productivity, our department boasts of over 100 publications in the last three years, about two-thirds of which are in top-tier scholarly journals.
I’m happy to report that this is an exciting time for the department—we have 28 full time tenure-track and clinical faculty, over 30 adjunct faculty members, and five terrific young scholars: Sam Hui, Adam Alter, Bryan Bollinger, Hal Ersner-Hershfield, and Masakazu Ishihara.
Since 2009, the Stern faculty published over 70 papers and four books, and we continue to be at the forefront of providing service to the field: Tulin Erdem is the current editor of the Journal of Marketing Research, Geeta Menon is the President of the Association for Consumer Research, Vicki Morwitz is the President-Elect of the Society of Consumer Psychology, and Joel Steckel has recently taken on the editorship of Marketing Letters. In addition to this, many of our faculty are associate editors and on journal advisory boards.
Stern faculty research is frequently featured in The Wall Street Journal, Time, NPR, The New York Times, and other prestigious media outlets. In fact, in the last year, Stern faculty generated over 250 media hits—that translates to almost one faculty mention in the news every working day.
With respect to degree programs, we recently launched a Luxury Marketing specialization in the MBA program. Although only in its first full year, 10 percent of our entering students (about 40) indicated that they were going to choose this new specialization.
We are justifiably proud of our doctoral program, as it is one of the best in the world. Our placement record continues to be superb, and we are fortunate to have a strong current group of students. Over the last two years, we have placed students at Carnegie Mellon, Dartmouth, the Technion in Israel, and at Minnesota.
We also recently launched The Center for Measurable Marketing, headed by E. Craig Stacey and Dawn Lesh. The focus of the Center is to support research and executive education in the areas of metrics and measuring return-on-investment for marketing activities.
As you can see, our department is in a great place. We have outstanding faculty, a terrific support staff, and a vibrant student community. I hope that you become involved with our Department in some way in the near future.
