Implementation and coordination of the SUlfate Regional Experiment (SURE) and related research programs

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a retrospection on the importance, origins and development of the research programs in the author’s career. Design/methodology/approach The study uses an autobiographical approach. Findings Most of the articles, research monographs and books that constitute this research and publishing efforts can be categorized into seven distinct, but related, research programs: channels of distribution; marketing theory; marketing’s philosophy debates; macromarketing and ethics; relationship marketing; resource-advantage theory; and marketing management and strategy. The value system that has guided these research programs has been shaped by specific events that took place in the author’s formative years. This essay chronicles these events and the origins and development of the seven research programs. Originality/value Chronicling the importance, origins and development of the seven research programs will hopefully motivate and assist other scholars in developing their own research programs.

Research on acute dying processes, emergency resuscitation (cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation, CPCR) and long-term resuscitation (intensive therapy) have the potential of leading to so far unimagined restoration of total body function, including human mentation, after sudden cardiac death from ventricular fibrillation, asphyxia or exsanguination; and also after prolonged terminal states from trauma or other insults—conditions which have so far been considered irreversible. Since the 1950's, an increasing number of investigators have embarked on resuscitation-related research.
