Plenary Sessions
Saturday 30 November
Start of Day Plenary Session: Winds of Change
Guest speaker: Professor Emeritus Peter Thirkell
The Winds of Change theme for 2019 raises interesting questions about the nature of marketing, and the concepts and ideas that are quintessential to marketing and should endure versus those that need to adapt and change in turbulent if not disruptive times. This session will touch upon the nature of the changes that we can observe in the wider environment and their implications for marketers. It will challenge you as a doctoral student to consider your dissertation topic within the wider context of marketing as an evolving management discipline, and the research challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in your marketing career as a result of the changes that are occurring.
Professor Peter Thirkell is an Emeritus Professor at Victoria University of Wellington. His research and publishing has been in the areas of sustainable marketing systems, digital media, branding, macro marketing, and strategic marketing planning, and he maintains an active interest in the theory and practice of marketing. He is a former Dean and Pro-Vice Chancellor of the Business School, and prior to that served as Head of Marketing and International Business. Peter was a founding member of ANZMAC and is a longstanding supporter of the DC. He served a term as Vice President of the Academy and is now an Honorary Fellow.
End of Day Plenary Session: Engagement-led Business Schools and the Future of Research
Guest speaker: Professor Ashish Sinha
The Winds of Change are not limited to marketing alone, and scrutiny of the value that business education provides to all stakeholders continues to intensify. Critics argue that research in marketing has become remote from the conceptual and practical challenges faced by marketers in a fast changing world. Marketing academics of the future will need to more fully engage with practitioners so as to help them gain better insights into and solve real-world marketing problems. Professor Sinha will discuss this changing environment and fostering an engagement-led approach, so as to help you achieve greater rigour, relevance and ultimately impact in your research.
Ashish Sinha is Professor of Marketing and former Associate Dean (Research) at the UTS Business School in Sydney. He has held senior leadership positions in both industry and academia, and recently led a major transformation process to help the UTS Business School become strongly externally engaged.

Workshops
Saturday 30 November 1pm - 2.30pm
Workshop 1: Building a Conceptual Model with Theory
Guest speaker: Professor Vesna Zabkar
The workshop will start with the critical role of theory in developing theoretical and practical contributions to our field. We will discuss how to formulate problems to develop good research questions and where good theory fits in conceptual model building. In the process, we will get familiar with different academic streams/viewpoints and a range of possible areas of research, e.g. an application of an existing theory to a new setting, gap filling, synthesis of existing theories, and critique of existing theory. The workshop will be interactive in nature, with the focus on research competence development. Participants are encouraged to attend the workshop with their projects and research problem.
