A special thanks goes to the local organizing committee, which has done an outstanding job in managing an extremely large number of details and pro- gram logistics for a conference of this magnitude. The management of a conference this big is simply not possible without the special cooperation and assistance of the pro- gram chairs, conference coordinators, and track chairs. Therefore, the most important acknowledgment goes to Jim Boles and Joe Hair, Conference Co-Chairs. Further, the track chairs worked relentlessly to encourage submission of papers, man- aging the review process in a timely fashion, and in organizing the session details. They deserve a very special mention and they are also acknowledged in the proceedings. A special thanks goes to Sally Sultan of the AMS Central Office at the University of Miami. Without her administrative sup- port, this proceedings would not have been possible. An additional special thank you goes to Valerie DelSavio, who pro- vided great support in the production of this proceedings. Finally, a major acknowledgment and many grateful thanks go to all those who submitted their work, the reviewers who as- sessed the manuscripts and sessions, and the session chairs and discussants who volunteered to take on the per session duties. With their help and support these individuals helped to make the 2005 Academy of Marketing Science Conference a success. Harlan Spotts, Editor 2005 AMS Conference Proceedings viii Preface The Academy of Marketing Science was founded in 1971, held its first Annual Conference in 1977, and has grown and prospered ever since. The relevancy of the Academy’s mission and activities to our chosen target market of the market- ing professorate has been a key factor in attracting the discipline’s best and brightest from all over the world. The revised Articles of Association of the Academy, approved the Board of Governors in the spring of 1984, and by the general membership if the fall of that year, define the mission of the Academy as follows: 1. Provide leadership in exploring the normative boundaries of marketing, while simultaneously seeking new ways of bringing theory and practice into practicable conjunction. 2. Further the science of marketing throughout the world by promoting the conduct of research and the dissemination of research results. 3. Provide a forum for the study and improvement of marketing as an economic, ethical, social and political force and proc- ess. 4. Furnish, as appropriate and available, material and other resources for the solution of marketing problems, which con- front particular firms and industries, on the one hand, and society at large on the other. 5. Provide publishing media and facilities for Fellows of the Academy and reviewer assistance on the Fellows’ scholarly activities. 6. Sponsor one or more annual conferences to enable the Fellows of the Academy to present research results; to learn by listening to other presentations and through interaction with other Fellows and guests; to avail themselves of the place- ments process; to conduct discussion with book editors; and to exchange other relevant information. 7. Assist Fellows in the better utilization of their professional marketing talents through redirection, reassignment and relo- cation. 8. Provide educator Fellows with insights and suck resources as may be available to aid them in the development of im- proved teaching methods, materials, devices and directions. 9. Seek means for establishing student scholarships and professional university chairs in the field of marketing. 10. Offer Fellow of the Academy status to business and institutional executives and organizations. 11. Modify the Academy’s purpose and direction as the influence of time and appropriate constructive forces may dictate. ix
