Abstract
As demand for business education is rising, the production of business doctorates continues to fall. Between 1995 and 2001, new business doctorates declined 18%, dropping to the lowest point since 1987. In the same time frame, new marketing doctorates dropped by 32%. This article reports the results of a study designed to (1) assess enrollment trends and recruiting practices for marketing doctoral programs, (2) examine decision-making processes of prospective marketing doctoral students, and (3) develop a set of recommendations for improving recruiting in marketing doctoral programs. Results of surveys of marketing doctoral program coordinators, marketing Ph.D. students, and MBA students are reported.
