Background

The Forum on Markets and Marketing was established in 2007 and became a reality in 2008, when the inaugural Forum on Markets and Marketing (FMM2008) was held at the University of New South Wales, Australia. Equally successful forums (FMM2010, FMM2012, FMM2014, and FMM2016) have been held in Europe and New Zealand.

 

Purpose

The purpose of FMM is to advance the development of Service-Dominant (S-D) logic by focusing on foundational issues related to markets and marketing and exploring the cross-disciplinary foundations of S-D logic. Accomplishing this purpose is facilitated by a small number of scholars actively engaging in dialogue and discussion, as well as occasional debate, over several days, rather than the formal presentation of research papers.
