The Marketing concentration focuses on two broad areas: consumer behavior and marketing science. Students in consumer behavior learn the fundamentals of cognitive and social psychology and experimental research to examine how social, cognitive, contextual, individual, and cultural factors affect consumer behavior. Students in marketing science learn the fundamentals of microeconomics, industrial organization, and econometrics to address topics involving the mathematical and statistical modeling of consumer and firm behavior. UConn faculty work closely with doctoral students to publish articles in the top marketing journals.

As a marketing student, you probably have access to a plethora of resources such as your college library and of course, the internet, to come up with great research paper topics.
However, the thought of writing your research paper can be daunting, especially if you’re still brainstorming and don’t know what to write about.
Just like any other piece of writing, start by keeping your audience in mind. Then, make a list of research paper topics that are more relevant to your interests, or a new under-developed field (for example; augmented reality, or people sentiments towards Artificial Intelligence), or a unique research topic that intrigues your audience.
But if you’re still struggling to pin down one out of the many research paper topics for your program, we’ll suggest a number of them for you to either choose from; or for you to take inspiration from and come up with your own.
Table of Contents
Before we dive into the details, you’ll have to familiarize yourself with the basics. For starters, pick up a pen and paper and brainstorm different topics that you’d like to write about.
While personal interest is definitely important, we also suggest you opt for a topic that will intrigue your readers. Here are a couple of factors you ought to keep in mind while selecting a topic:
You probably won’t be able to write a stellar research paper if you’re not interested in the topic. Sit down with your peers and advisors to discuss possible ideas. It will be easier for you to discuss different themes once you’ve written down all your ideas in one place. If you’ve decided on a specific keyword for instance “consumer behaviour”, you can look for similar research papers on the internet.
A research paper isn’t a descriptive essay which you can drag aimlessly. Your research paper needs to be based on factual data and that’s only possible if you’ve conducted thorough research. While jotting down points for your first draft, ensure your statements are supported with references or examples citing credible academicals and research work.
A lot of students tend to undermine the writing process and leave for the last few days. Bear in mind that you can’t possibly write your entire research paper overnight. In order to succeed, you’ll have to devote sufficient amount of time to research.
Also, be prepared to schedule meetings with your advisor on a regular basis as you’re bound to require help along the way. At this point, make sure you only rely on credible sources that will support your dissertation.
If you’re still unable to decide a topic of your interest, here is a list of 70 unique marketing research topics that you can use as marketing project topics for your MBA, or any other marketing course:
Still in need of some inspiration? Here are a few research paper areas that you can explore:
Hopefully, these marketing thesis topics will help you come up with a few topics of your own. If you’re still confused about which area, you’d like to work with, we suggest you consult your advisor for some additional help. Good luck!

Questions regarding a phd in marketing, what kind of research is done in marketing.
Marketing research is vast and varied, encompassing a wide range of topics and methodologies to understand how consumers and firms behave and interact in markets.
In terms of research interests, the list is long, but here’s a glimpse of broad areas of interest in our field:
Below is also a small selection of recent research areas in our department:
There is much more – we encourage you to visit the department’s website and look at the individual faculty pages, who showcase their recent research projects.
Because marketing draws from so many fields, the “typical” background is quite diverse. Our students and faculty have fundamental training in fields such as Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Statistics, Computer Science, Math, Physics, Engineering and more.
You do not need prior background in marketing. Many of our faculty come from other diverse fields, such as Psychology, Sociology, Statistics, Computer Science, and Economics. Our program is designed to expose students to the field of marketing while capitalizing on their strong academic background, which is often in other fields.
No, you do not need to know what you want to research in order to apply. However, if you can share in your application the types of research ideas and topics you are interested in, we’ll be better able to determine if our program is a match for you.
You do not need to find an advisor prior to admission. We admit students centrally to the department, and students work on matching up with an advisor in their first two years.
What makes the wharton marketing department unique.
Wharton’s Marketing Department is one of the largest (if not the largest) in the world, which allows us to have an unparalleled breadth of research areas and methods that faculty and students apply. We often say that if you work on something, and have a question, there is always someone close by who probably knows the answer.
Our department takes pride in focusing on relevant and applied research that creates impact both in academia and the business world. Many of our faculty and students also collaborate with companies and researchers in other fields to generate novel and exciting knowledge.
As a PhD student at Wharton, you will belong to an elite group of students in one of the world’s top business schools. You will have access to vast research resources, learn from and work with amazing world-class faculty, and be a part of an exciting and active group of students.
Most of our graduates become faculty in top research universities. For example, recently our graduates took faculty positions at Northwestern, Stanford and Yale. You can see our recent placements here: https://marketing.wharton.upenn.edu/phd-recent-alumni/
Philadelphia, founded in 1682, is a large modern international and multicultural city with strong historic roots. It has approximately 1.5M in population in the city proper and 6M population in the Metro area. The city is located in the northeast United States, between New York City (1:20 hours by train) and Washington DC (1:45 hours by train).
As one of the largest cities in the US, and because of its historical roots as the original capital of the US, Philadelphia is extremely walkable, has a vibrant food and nightlife scene, and access to all amenities expected from a global city, including many parks, music venues, museums and other attractions. Philadelphia is also home to 3 large research universities and 5 medical schools, creating a vibrant student and research focused environment.
Most of our PhD students live in Center City (Downtown) or University City close to campus (West Philly) which are walking distance from campus. For more information see https://gsc.upenn.edu/resources/wellness/living-philadelphia .
Philadelphia is considered as one of the most affordable large cities in the US. For a sense of the cost, you can check out Numbeo .
The PhD program supports students with children with extended funding time as well as additional resources made available by the university.
Why does wharton’s program have a behavioral and a quantitative track.
Behavioral and quantitative approaches both offer useful insights and tools for theory building and research practice. We therefore encourage students to appreciate both. However, it is very difficult to become an expert in both areas within only 5 years. We therefore offer two tracks. This enables you to make deep contributions in your chosen area of expertise, while still developing a sufficiently broad perspective to become an active member of the marketing community as a whole and to leverage a wider and richer set of ideas.
The main difference between the tracks is in the type of methods used to answer research questions, and to some extent the focus of the research questions.
Behavioral research mostly focuses on consumers and their decision making, and can be seen as part of applied psychology and behavioral economics research. The methods used in behavioral research often involve lab experiments with human subjects, or large field experiments. More recently, behavioral research also employs text analysis and other machine learning tools for analysis of non-structured data (like images, videos, or LLMs).
Quantitative research can focus on consumers, firms or their interaction. It applies tools from applied economics, computer science, applied statistics or computational social science. Much of the recent research would fall under the definition of data science. The methods used in this research include analysis of large scale observational data using machine learning, statistical and econometric tools, game theory, or the design of experiments and analysis of their data, often gathered in large scale online experiments.
This program allows a student who was admitted to Penn’s PhD program in Psychology to also graduate with a joint PhD in Marketing, and vice-versa.
For more information about the program, please see: https://marketing.wharton.upenn.edu/joint-doctoral-degree-in-marketing-and-psychology/
Our program is designed as a five-year program.
All students are fully funded for 5 years. Students receive a living stipend and health insurance. In addition, all tuition and school fees are fully covered. If needed, students can receive additional funding for a sixth year (assuming they are in good academic standing).
There is no teaching requirement in the program. However, students often benefit from teaching experience and there are many teaching opportunities available for students. Teaching is compensated, in addition to students’ graduate stipend.
No. The Wharton PhD Program is a full-time program.
The Wharton Marketing PhD is STEM. However, the rules about STEM degrees are not determined by us, so we recommend reaching out to the Wharton Doctoral Program or Penn ISSS for up to date information.
For the behavioral track, past work in psychology, sociology, consumer behavior and data analysis offers a strong basis for a PhD. For the quantitative track, a strong mathematical background, exposure to proof-based courses, as well as emphasis on Economics and data analysis is helpful. Prior experience with computer programming (e.g., Python, R), preferably with emphasis on machine learning and econometrics is also recommended. Across both tracks, strong written and oral communication skills are necessary.
Can i receive feedback about my application before submitting it.
To ensure fairness and equity in out application process, we do not provide feedback on applications.
We are looking for bright minds with a keen interest in research in marketing who are looking to make a positive change in the world through their scholarly endeavors and develop a successful career in the world’s top research universities. Among the criteria we consider are evidence of strong academic training and prior research. We also look for a high level of motivation and demonstrated ability to collaborate, embrace challenges, and work independently.
Students with past research experience can begin to develop their own research faster. Indeed, most students admitted recently often have prior research experience, whether in industry, as a research assistant, or in another graduate degree program.
However, you do not need prior research experience to be admitted.

Whilst there are plenty of resources available to help prospective PhD students find doctoral programmes, deciding on a research topic is a process students often find more difficult.
Some advertised PhD programmes have predefined titles, so the exact topic is decided already. Generally, these programmes exist mainly in STEM, though other fields also have them. Funded projects are more likely to have defined titles, and structured aims and objectives.
Self funded projects, and those in fields such as arts and humanities, are less likely to have defined titles. The flexibility of topic selection means more scope exists for applicants to propose research ideas and suit the topic of research to their interests.
A middle ground also exists where Universities advertise funded PhD programmes in subjects without a defined scope, for example: “PhD Studentship in Biomechanics”. The applicant can then liaise with the project supervisor to choose a particular title such as “A study of fatigue and impact resistance of biodegradable knee implants”.
If a predefined programme is not right for you, then you need to propose your own research topic. There are several factors to consider when choosing a good research topic, which will be outlined in this article.
Our first piece of advice is to PhD candidates is to stop thinking about ‘finding’ a research topic, as it is unlikely that you will. Instead, think about developing a research topic (from research and conversations with advisors).
Consider several ideas and critically appraise them:
We have outlined the key considerations you should use when developing possible topics. We explore these below:
It is important to choose a topic of research that you are genuinely interested in. The decision you make will shape the rest of your career. Remember, a full-time programme lasts 3-4 years, and there will be unforeseen challenges during this time. If you are not passionate about the study, you will struggle to find motivation during these difficult periods.
You should also look to your academic and professional background. If there are any modules you undertook as part of your Undergraduate/Master degree that you particularly enjoyed or excelled in? These could form part of your PhD research topic. Similarly, if you have professional work experience, this could lead to you asking questions which can only be answered through research.
When deciding on a PhD research topic you should always consider your long-term career aspirations. For example, as a physicist, if you wish to become an astrophysicist, a research project studying black holes would be more relevant to you than a research project studying nuclear fission.
Reading dissertations and published journals is a great way to identify potential PhD topics. When reviewing existing research ask yourself:
Reading dissertations will also give you an insight into the practical aspects of doctoral study, such as what methodology the author used, how much data analysis was required and how was information presented.
You can also think of this process as a miniature literature review . You are searching for gaps in knowledge and developing a PhD project to address them. Focus on recent publications (e.g. in the last five years). In particular, the literature review of recent publications will give an excellent summary of the state of existing knowledge, and what research questions remain unanswered.
If you have the opportunity to attend an academic conference, go for it! This is often an excellent way to find out current theories in the industry and the research direction. This knowledge could reveal a possible research idea or topic for further study.
Finding a PhD has never been this easy – search for a PhD by keyword, location or academic area of interest.
Discuss your research topic ideas with a supervisor. This could be your current undergraduate/masters supervisor, or potential supervisors of advertised PhD programmes at different institutions. Come to these meetings prepared with initial PhD topic ideas, and your findings from reading published journals. PhD supervisors will be more receptive to your ideas if you can demonstrate you have thought about them and are committed to your research.
You should discuss your research interests, what you have found through reading publications, and what you are proposing to research. Supervisors who have expertise in your chosen field will have insight into the gaps in knowledge that exist, what is being done to address them, and if there is any overlap between your proposed research ideas and ongoing research projects.
Talking to an expert in the field can shape your research topic to something more tangible, which has clear aims and objectives. It can also find potential shortfalls of your PhD ideas.
It is important to remember, however, that although it is good to develop your research topic based on feedback, you should not let the supervisor decide a topic for you. An interesting topic for a supervisor may not be interesting to you, and a supervisor is more likely to advise on a topic title which lends itself to a career in academia.
Another tip is to talk to a PhD student or researcher who is involved in a similar research project. Alternatively, you can usually find a relevant research group within your University to talk to. They can explain in more detail their experiences and suggest what your PhD programme could involve with respect to daily routines and challenges.
Use our Search tool , or look on University PhD listing pages to identify advertised PhD programmes for ideas.
The popularity of similar PhD programmes to your proposed topic is a good indicator that universities see value in the research area. The final bullet point is perhaps the most valuable takeaway from looking at advertised listings. Review what similar programmes involve, and whether this is something you would like to do. If so, a similar research topic would allow you to do this.
As part of the PhD application process , you may be asked to summarise your proposed research topic in a research proposal. This is a document which summarises your intended research and will include the title of your proposed project, an Abstract, Background and Rationale, Research Aims and Objectives, Research Methodology, Timetable, and a Bibliography. If you are required to submit this document then read our guidance on how to write a research proposal for your PhD application.

Research paper on marketing: definition.
A marketing research paper is a fairly large work that requires students to collect data on different aspects of the field. Typically, students undertaking their undergrad or postgrad studies, particularly those studying in management, are the ones who commonly write this type of paper.
A research paper on marketing combines qualitative and quantitative analysis to understand various targets and markets better. The research quality and findings are always evaluated by peer review. It makes potential objections and counterarguments an integral part of the paper.
This type of paper is a widely used method of sharing progress with the academic community. So, even if you do not plan to pursue a job in the field but aim for a career in academic research, learning to write such a type of paper is crucial. And that is exactly what we can assist you with!
Not sure how to start or what to put in your research paper marketing? Do not worry! To give you a better sense of the process, we have listed the key steps below.
Step 1: Pick a good topic
The first step in writing almost any academic paper is to choose a topic that aligns with your interests. If you are unsure about your interests, a good idea is to explore the available options on the web. Next, write down at least 10 marketing research paper topics that you think fit. Lastly, narrow them down to an ideal option.
Step 2: Prepare a plan
Every research work requires a robust plan. That’s why, after you select a topic, the next step is to develop a solid research plan. Your strategy should detail each phase of the investigation, whether it is experimental or not. Once done, take the time to understand the design and type of study at this stage.
Step 3: Gather materials
Research papers differ significantly from essays and dissertations. You can’t simply express your opinions on the paper. Instead, you have to gather accurate and valid data from reliable sources. During the data collection stage, it is also crucial to cross-check it to ensure the data is factual and accurate. Also, use both quantitative (o-data) and qualitative (x-data) information.
Step 4: Analyze data
Just because you gathered data from various sources does not guarantee it is reliable. Some data may be irrelevant or inaccurate. So, the crucial next step is a thorough analysis. Some of the techniques you can use at this stage of your PhD marketing research process include:
Step 5: Writing and editing
Suppose you have completed all the preceding steps. The final step is to commence writing. In your digital marketing research paper, ensure meticulous citation of all data and proper structure:
Finish it before the deadline to allow time for a quality review. If you spot any errors in your paper, address them promptly.
If you aim for high grades, make sure not to skip any of the above steps. Each step is important and contributes to an effective paper.
To make topic selection easier for you, we have hand-picked 20 compelling marketing topics for research paper. Feel free to review our list and choose the one that best aligns with your interests. Also, make sure you can write a solid thesis on it.
If you are still struggling, try to look for more topics for marketing research papers on the web. Another option is to consult your supervisor. Remember, trending topics change as fast as strategies do. So, dedicate enough time to the groundwork, and you will write a perfect paper!
Writing a PhD-level paper requires a thorough approach. Here are some tips to guide you through the process:
Choose a specific niche that aligns with your interests. Make sure the selected topic has the potential to contribute to the existing knowledge.
Conduct an in-depth review of relevant literature. These are the key steps:
Develop a strong research question. It should be focused and capable of contributing new insights to the field.
Create a detailed proposal. It should outline the following:
Ensure it aligns with the standards of your institution.
Choose the most suitable methodology. Whether quantitative, qualitative, or a mix of both, ensure it fits your objectives.
Clearly outline how you’ll collect data. This may involve the following:
Employ appropriate data analysis techniques. Clearly interpret your findings and relate them to your research questions. Be prepared to discuss the implications of your results.
Seek feedback from your supervisor. Regular meetings will help you receive guidance and stay on track.
When in doubt, always consult a style guide or request a marketing research paper example from a librarian. Also, you can ask your supervisor for help. If still in doubt, consider receiving professional assistance from qualified experts of our writing service.
