We are extremely pleased to welcome you to Buckhead (Atlanta) and the AMS Cultural Perspectives
Conference, now a component of the World Marketing Congress. The AMS continues to grow as the
preeminent international marketing society. Authors from almost 50 different countries submitted close
to 200 competitive submissions to this conference. This resulted in 45 sessions over the three days of
the conference, plus the plenary session with our Global Marketer Sheryl Adkins-Green. The program
offers marketing scholars a wide variety of interesting topics to explore, with many sessions presenting
research that links previous marketing knowledge with present day global issues. We hope the meeting
is professionally engaging, and we are confident you will find the conference interesting and thought
provoking. As well, we are equally confident that you will enjoy the food, shopping, and various
cultural activities in the Atlanta area.
Thanks to all who submitted papers and to the 125 people who served as reviewers. A special thanks to
our Executive Vice-President and Director, Harold W. Berkman and to Florence Cazenave, Director of
Marketing and Communication. Finally, we appreciate the efforts of the track chairs that coordinated
paper submissions and reviews. Most of their work goes on behind the scenes, but the program would
not be possible without their help. Please accept our sincere thanks to all attendees for being such an
important part of the 2012 program.
Many thanks to our sponsors:
