The Research Contributions of Donald R. Lehmann to Marketing, Volume 3

The "Great Thinkers in Marketing" series highlights the significant contributions of the most influential scholars to marketing research, theory, and practice. The series and volume editors organize each legend's most impactful articles into several volumes as an anthology set. Volume editors also seek commentaries from other scholars familiar with the legend's work on the articles included in that volume. This set, comprising six volumes of contributions of Donald Lehmann, covers a broad spectrum of topics relating to customer behavior and decision-making processes, the estimation of stochastic models, empirical replication for theoretical generalization, advertising and branding, new product and innovation diffusion, and performance outcomes of marketing strategy. This volume, edited by John G. Lynch Jr., synthesizes Lehmann's work on meta-analysis and empirical generalization. Along with a collection of his related articles, it features an interview with Lehmann himself and three insightful commentaries from frequent co-authors. Showing how Lehmann's research has theoretical and practical relevance, this work outlines his impact on the marketing field to assess better the generalizability and robustness of their published empirical findings.
