Dear Readers, I
bring to you the March 13 issue of Indian Journal of
Marketing. I am sure that like its predecessors, this
issue will also deliver a basket full of cognitive
inputs to our proficient readers. The current issue has
six research papers contributed by excellent authors,
who have touched upon interesting developments and
applications pertaining to diverse areas of Marketing.
Readers would be happy to know that in addition to the Index Copernicus
Impact Value (the Index Copernicus Value, which is based on a 10-point
scale, assigned a value of 5.09 to Indian Journal of Marketing, Indian Journal
of Finance and Prabandhan: Indian Journal of Management), we have also received
the NAAS Rating for our three titles - Indian Journal of Marketing,
Indian Journal of Finance, and Prabandhan: Indian Journal of Management.
