Working Papers

Working papers play a key role in the dissemination of knowledge developed by MSI-associated researchers. These working papers are intended to provide new perspectives on perennial and future marketing challenges and to offer directions for further action and research.

MSI considers completed papers for inclusion in the working paper series, even if the research was not originally supported by MSI, if it deals with a priority subject, represents a significant advance over the existing literature, and has not been widely disseminated elsewhere. Working papers are evaluated on a rolling basis; we meet to evaluate submissions approximately every six weeks. You can expect to hear back from MSI within about eight weeks of initial submission.

Before submitting, please review MSI’s Working Paper Guidelines and Terms and Conditions for working papers.

If you have questions about submitting to either category, please contact research@msi.org.
