Having taken the first step in an effort to calibrate the effect of marketing science on marketing practice, we find ourselves faced with a number of interesting but unanswered questions. These include the possibility of a more comprehensive mapping and measures built up from marketing practice, rather than down from journal articles. In terms of a more comprehensive mapping, it would be useful to consider other knowledge vehicles (e.g., textbooks, magazines and newspapers), routes (e.g., user knowledge generation and seminars), and participants (e.g., specialist training educators). More representative samples would allow inferences to be drawn about absolute impact rather than just relative impact. Finally, the unit of analysis we used is that of articles published in the period 1982–2003. Had it been scholars or over a longer timeframe, other researchers may have been more strongly represented.
