DAVE WILSON

Our friend and colleague Dave Wilson died on February 1st 2015 after a long illness. Dave was Professor of Marketing at the Smeal School of Business, Pennsylvania State University. He joined the IMP Group in the early 1980s and was closely involved in the development of the IMP 2 project, which culminated in the book, Developing Relationships in Business Networks edited by Hakan Hakansson and Ivan Snehota. Dave brought new skills and insights to the Group and published widely with other members. Dave was active at IMP conferences over many years and hosted the first IMP Conference in the United States at Penn State. His notable publications included the book Business marketing: An interaction and network perspective with Kris Moller, Understanding the Value of a Relationship with S Janatrania and An Integrated Model of Buyer-Seller Relationships in the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science. This paper has been cited over two thousand times in the literature.

Passing of David T. Wilson

Dave Wilson passed away on February 1, 2015. Dave was a faculty member in the Penn State Marketing Department for over 30 years and held the Alvin J. Clemens Professorship in Entrepreneurial Studies when he retired in 2001. Dave was an active IMP member for more than 20 years. During his long career, he served as the Chair of the Marketing Department and as the academic director of the MBA program, he was the co-founder of the Institute for the Study of Business Markets (ISBM), and he was the founding Editor of the Journal of Business to Business Marketing.
