Jay Lindquist Best World Marketing Congress Paper Award
The Jay Lindquist Best World Marketing Congress (WMC) Paper Award is presented to the author(s) of the paper deemed by the WMC Program Chairs as the most outstanding submission to be presented at the WMC. This prestigious award recognizes excellence in research and is named in honor of Dr. Jay Lindquist, a Professor Emeritus of Marketing at Western Michigan University and a Distinguished Fellow of the Academy. Dr. Lindquist has made significant contributions to the field and has played key leadership roles within the AMS, including serving as the first Director of International Programs — which oversees management of the WMC — from 1998 to 2019. This award commemorates his remarkable dedication and service to the organization and the WMC.
Eligibility Requirements
All “full papers” submitted to the WMC are eligible for the award. Papers submitted as structured abstracts are not eligible for a Best Paper Award. The expectation is that the paper would be published in full in the WMC Proceedings.
Selection Process
Any reviewer may nominate a paper for the Lindquist Award consideration at the time a review is completed. A committee comprised of at least one member of the conference co-chair team, one co-director of international programs and one proceedings co-editor will select the winning paper.
Winner Recognition
Winners are awarded a certificate in addition to a $600* check drawn from a U.S. bank.
