Abstract
While there have been many wonderful articles on conceptual contributions, I sought insight from a sample of Masters in conceptual writing to unravel some of the common elements of long-lasting impact. Investigating the top 13 most cited conceptual-only articles in marketing, the common elements include: clear and compelling problem statements or premises; the articulation of concept definitions adopted; (where relevant) a conceptual framework or model with novel associations translated into propositions; significant practical implications that managers, practitioners, educators, consumer activists and/or policymakers care about; and potential lines of future research enquiries. Further, visuals, tables, and relatable examples are liberally used to assist the reader in seeing and understanding the abstract ideas put forward.

期刊介绍:
The AMS Review is positioned to be the premier journal in marketing that focuses exclusively on conceptual contributions across all sub-disciplines of marketing. It publishes articles that advance the development of market and marketing theory.The AMS Review is receptive to different philosophical perspectives and levels of analysis that range from micro to macro. Especially welcome are manuscripts that integrate research and theory from non-marketing disciplines such as management, sociology, economics, psychology, geography, anthropology, or other social sciences. Examples of suitable manuscripts include those incorporating conceptual and organizing frameworks or models, those extending, comparing, or critically evaluating existing theories, and those suggesting new or innovative theories. Comprehensive and integrative syntheses of research literatures (including quantitative and qualitative meta-analyses) are encouraged, as are paradigm-shifting manuscripts.Manuscripts that focus on purely descriptive literature reviews, proselytize research methods or techniques, or report empirical research findings will not be considered for publication. The AMS Review does not publish manuscripts focusing on practitioner advice or marketing education.
