We are pleased to invite you to nominate your doctoral students who are researching marketing and entrepreneurship to the American Marketing Association //International Marketing and Entrepreneurship SIG Doctoral Consortium//. This special interest group of the AMA has a long history of partnership with the annual UIC Marketing and Entrepreneurship Research Symposium. At this year's Research Symposium, we are instituting a consortium for doctoral students to encourage and guide students who are considering or are researching the intersecting domains of marketing and entrepreneurship. This consortium will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, June 14-16, 2008. The deadline to submit nominations is April 1, 2008. Please email your nominations to Glenn S. Omura at omura at msu.edu.

Doctoral students selected for the consortium will have their Symposium fees waived, have complimentary meals during the official portion of the Consortium and the Symposium, and have a portion of their hotel expenses subsidized. Nominations should have the following attachments:

* A letter of recommendation from you
* A letter of interest from the nominee

The nomination packets will be reviewed for acceptance by the Consortium Chairs, Claes Hultman (Swedish Business School) and Gerry Hills (University of Illinois-Chicago).
