As an industry, marketing research has enjoyed decades of systemic growth. Unfortunately, dissatisfaction with the return on marketing research investments has also been consistently voiced. Part of this complaint may be due to the inadequate way marketing research is being taught. In this article, we review what practitioner–academic gaps have been found in the literature and also present the results of a survey among alumni of a US university. We identify several key gaps including (1) understanding of business issues, (2) ability to define a marketing research problem, (3) ability to design marketing research, (4) ability to analyze data, (5) ability to interpret the results, (6) ability to translate results into actions, (7) ability to effectively interact with clients, and (8) expertise on specific research studies such as customer satisfaction research, branding, and new product development research.

Analysis of the main trends in the development of the market for higher education services, affecting the transformation of university financing models, shows that improving the quality of educational services in Russian universities directly depends on an increase in the share of revenues received from research and development, as well as the ability of universities to present the results of their research and development in the form of a complete product from a marketing point of view and build a competent strategy for promoting innovations in the market. In the context of creating a long-term strategy for increasing the competitive advantages of leading universities, the author pays special attention to Project 5–100 of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, the purpose of which is to maximize the competitive position of a group of leading Russian universities in the global market of educational services and research programs. It is noted that university funding comes from various sources, while budgetary revenues dominate the structure of income, and the reduction in budgetary provision significantly affects the financial condition of Russian universities. The author comes to the conclusion that the forms and mechanisms of financial management of universities and research organizations are not strictly regulated, they independently choose the sources of funding.

We report experimental findings on how individuals from different cultures solve a repeated coordination game of common interest. The results overturn earlier findings that fixed pairs are almost assured to coordinate on an efficient and cooperative equilibrium. Subjects in the prior experiments were US university students, whereas the subjects in our study are men drawn from high and low castes in rural India. Most low-caste pairs quickly established an efficient and cooperative convention, but most high-caste pairs did not. The largest difference in behavior occurred when a player suffered a loss because he had tried to cooperate but his partner did not: In this situation, high-caste men were far less likely than low-caste men to continue trying to cooperate in the next period. Our interpretation is that for many high-caste men, the loss resulting from coordination failure triggered retaliation. Our results are robust to controls for education and wealth, and they hold by subcaste as well as by caste status. A survey we conducted supports the ethnographic evidence that more high-caste than low-caste men prefer to retaliate against a slight. We find no evidence that caste differences in trust or self-efficacy explain the caste gap in cooperation in our experiment. Our findings are of general interest because many societies throughout the world have cultures that lead individuals to (mis)perceive some actions as insults and to respond aggressively and dysfunctionally.

James E.K. Parker, Towards an Acoustic Jurisprudence: Law and the Long Range Acoustic Device, Law, Culture and the Humanities (LCH). DOI: 10.1177/1743872115615502 The following corrections have been made to the article: Under heading III.1, another paragraph has been added. This paragraph begins ‘Whereas normal loudspeaker works…’ Under heading III.2, a paragraph has been edited: ‘In effect, what ATC did with the LRAD…’ Under heading III.2, the first sentence of the last paragraph has been expanded to clarify that the G-20 summit was held in Pittsburgh: The LRAD seems to have been used by police for the first time in Georgia in 2007, before receiving its first and most notorious outing on American soil in September 2009 at protests relating to the G-20 Summit being held in Pittsburgh.66 Under heading III.4, the sentence below in the second paragraph has been changed as follows: The law of property provides the conditions for the circulation and ownership of knowledge that enable developments in the science of acoustics at a US university in the 1950s to re-emerge as failed commercial prototypes in Japan in the 1980s only to be taken up again in 1996 by ACT before being patented, trademarked and marketed first as HSS® and then as the LRAD.82 Under heading III.4, the following has been added to the end of the paragraph ‘If the LRAD was originally imagined…’: Not that the presiding judge in the Toronto case would know however. In his discussion of a deposition by Professor David Wood, of Queen’s University, relating to ‘videos posted on the internet’ documenting the LRAD’s use at Pittsburgh, Justice Brown notes that, ‘unfortunately, Professor Wood did not attach any of those media reports or videos as exhibits to his affidavit. As a result, I cannot attach any weight to his statements.’93 Indeed, it’s not clear that any recordings of an LRAD in action were ever actually played in court. As far as I know, the LRAD has yet to feature in the ‘judicial soundscape’. In the conclusion the word ‘copyright’ has been replaced with ‘intellectual property’: The LRAD is the product of diverse institutions, jurisdictions and areas of doctrine, stretching from the law of intellectual property through the law of war to constitutional and labor law. The references and reference numbers have been updated accordingly. All the subsequent versions of the article will be corrected.
