Abstract

A large number of academic research findings in marketing never find their way into practice. In this research, we focus on intermediaries that can help to bridge this research-practice gap. This paper first conceptualizes and defines intermediaries and identifies and categorizes intermediaries and their bridging activities. Using qualitative interviews with all actors in the marketing science value chain, this paper aims to provide a holistic overview of the different intermediaries and intermediary activities, identifying success factors and obstacles for knowledge transfer. This paper will provide implications for improving knowledge sharing in the marketing science value chain.A large number of academic research findings in marketing never find their way into practice.
