| Abstract: | Marketing scholarship and research originated in a spirit of critique and dissent, but it is a highly packaged brand with a set of universal managerial problem-solving techniques. The study examines this contradiction, positing the notion of parallel universes of disciplinary space, the one characterised by a critical social scientific orientation, the other by a naive managerial orientation. While this dialectical figure may lead to blurring of some important distinctions, the paper suggests that an investigation of undercurrents of this bifurcation can contribute significantly to a re-orientation of the disciplinary space of marketing studies. |
