Progress in Marketing Knowledge
نویسنده
چکیده
By drawing on an empiricist tradition, and on the literature discussing the philosophical problems of marketing knowledge, we seek to develop practical guidelines for developing empirical generalisations. In particular we suggest three criteria for the development of marketing knowledge: ensuring falsifiability and theoretical competition; overcoming uncertainty through replication; and using extension to develop generalisations and identify boundary conditions. By way of demonstration, these criteria are applied to assessments of the Dirichlet model, the Servqual instrument, and market share modelling. We conclude with renewed plea that more of the academic research effort in marketing be devoted to replicating and extending existing results, and determining the conditions under which existing theories do, and do not, hold.
