The UCR Sloan Center held a research networking workshop on May 3-4, 2007, at the historic Mission Inn in Riverside, California.  The workshop was limited to 20 attendees, 13 of whom were asked to prepare thought-provoking 15-minute presentations that dramatically deviate from the usual research talk.  Presenters were asked to introduce what they considered to be “the most intereresting under-addressed research question in Internet marketing.”

Goals of the workshop were to bring together a small group of behaviorally and quantitatively oriented scholars researching topics related to Internet marketing to:

• Promote awareness of the joint community’s common research interests;
• Identify exciting new research themes that can serve as the basis for future collaborations;
• Introduce scholars to the UCR Sloan Center for Internet Retailing and opportuntiies for direct interaction and research collaboration with industry partners.

Professor Barbara Kahn of the Wharton School gave a very important speech addressing research productivity during her presidential address at the recent Association for Consumer Research conference in Orlando.  She looked at the ways that ACR could help make a difference in our academic lives and conducted a survey of the membership to get a better handle on the kinds of problems we all face in trying to be more productive - and impactful - researchers.

Her observations and conclusions are really interesting (and highly useful in resource-based arguments with university administrators).  Have a look.
