𝐓𝐡𝐞 2024 𝐖𝐖𝐖 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐲 gathers information regarding your job market experience, your teaching experience, your number of publications, salary, etc. The survey takes approximately 15 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬. The information you provide is strictly 𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐘𝐌𝐎𝐔𝐒, and the results will be presented in aggregate at the 2024 Summer AMA Conference.
We encourage all candidates, regardless of their job search status, to participate in the survey. Please consider completing this survey even if you have not yet received a job offer, not yet accepted a job offer, or even if you have accepted a non-academic job offer. Your responses will give future candidates a better idea of what to expect when they enter the job market.
Previous WWW reports are available on the DocSIG website. Thank you for your time and participation!
We sincerely thank Reza Pedarpour (DocSIG Vice Chair of Research)and Gang Yi (Assistant Vice Chair of Research) from Kent State University for their exceptional work in creating and managing the 2024 Who Went Where? (WWW) Survey.
If you have any questions, please email DocSIG Chair, Brittany Beck and Chair-elect, Julia van de Sandt.

AMA Academic Council Survey
AMA Academic Council is requesting participation in a survey to assess conference travel, inclusivity, and engagement. You do NOT need to be an AMA member to respond – we want to hear from everyone, regardless of their AMA membership.
The AMA Academic Council is a 12-member council that represents the diversity of scholarly interests in managerial, behavioral, modeling, and public policy perspectives with attention to strategic marketing implications. The AMA strives to be the most relevant force and voice shaping marketing around the world; an essential community for marketers.
In support of that mission, the AMA Academic Council advocates for the AMA academic membership and provides stewardship of Academic Special Interest Groups (SIGs), events, and related initiatives. Currently, the council is chaired by Prof. Dr. Karen Winterich.
Please forward this email to your mentors, coauthors, and friends in marketing academia as well as colleagues and doctoral students at your institution or even to smaller group listservs you may be on if it has not yet been shared. The Academic Council is hoping to get responses from as many people in the field as possible.
As a thank you, two people who choose to enter their name in a separate link at the end will be randomly selected to receive free registration to an AMA conference in the coming year.

2023 Who Went Where Report
The 2023 WWW survey results are now available in the 2023 WWW Final Report. For the past 21 years,
AMA DocSIG has conducted surveys on doctoral students in the job-seeking stage, providing insights
into the job market. Reports from 2003 to 2021 can be downloaded here.
Despite the pandemic’s impact on the job market from 2019 to 2021, we encouraged students to share
their job search experiences, resulting in variations in the 2020-2021 report compared to previous ones.
Our survey had two parts: Part 1 collected basic information, including the candidate’s name and
institutions, while Part 2 anonymously gathered data on job market experiences, teaching, publications,
and salary.
We promoted survey participation through AMA DocSIG and ELMAR listservs, as well as social media
platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn. If your school wasn’t contacted, please provide your marketing
department doctoral program coordinator’s contact information to Reza Pedarpour,
rpedarpo@kent.edu.
Md Fourkan and Reza Pedarpour from Kent State University designed and administered the surveys,
with input from our volunteer review team to continually enhance the Who Went Where (WWW)
survey and report.
Congratulations to the new Assistant Professors of Fall 2023! The highly anticipated Who Went Where
report is proudly presented by AMA DocSIG.
