Sherry Jr., Herrick Professor and Chair of Marketing, recently received “best paper” recognition from the Marketing Science Institute for his working paper describing how companies progress through certain stages in order to become more market-oriented. “Creating a Market Orientation: A Longitudinal, Multifirm, Grounded Analysis of Cultural Transformation” won the annual Robert D.
