Marketing Professor Andris Zoltners published an article in the Journal of Personal Selling & Sales Management titled "Sales Force Effectiveness: A Framework for Researchers and Practitioners."

Katherine Phillips, associate professor of Management & Organizations, co-authored an article in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin titled "Is the Pain Worth the Gain? The Advantages and Liabilities of Agreeing with Socially Distinct Newcomers." The paper argued that the impact of diversity on group functioning is multifaceted. Though diverse groups reported less confidence in their performance and perceived their interactions as less effective, they nonetheless performed better than homogeneous groups. "The mere presence of socially distinct newcomers and the social concerns [that] their presence stimulates among old-timers motivates behavior that can convert affective pains into cognitive gains," the article reported. Phillips is also the co-chair of Northwestern University's Center on the Science of Diversity.

Assistant Professor of Marketing Derek Rucker and colleagues published a paper, "Beyond Attitude Consensus: The Social Context of Persuasion and Resistance," in the January issue of the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology.
