Summary:The cumulative nature of scientific knowledge development has attracted much attention over the years, although important questions still remain about how ideas build on one another to create a systematic progression of thought in a particular discipline. [...]according to Kuhn, the transition from one paradigm to the next could be characterized by significant incommensurability. [...]Kerin’s (1996) analysis clearly shows a link between the dominant research perspective and the specific substantive, conceptual, and methodological approaches that were pursued during each decade. The key point here is that AMSR’s editorial philosophy provides a broad template of research opportunities for crafting conceptual articles that can lead to long-term advancement of the marketing discipline (for more details, see Yadav 2014).
