Mark E. Hill is an Associate Professor of Marketing at Montclair State University with more than 20 years of academic and professional experience. He has taught graduate and undergraduate courses in Marketing Strategy, Marketing Research, and Consumer Behavior, and has published numerous articles on subjects related to marketing thinking. In 2006, he was honored with the Best Article for 2001 award by the journal of Marketing Education Review on “Teaching and Effectiveness: Another Look,” at the 2006 Society for Marketing Advances Annual Conference. While Dr. Hill’s research provides the academic foundation of Marketing Strategy: The Thinking Involved, it is a culmination of his years of teaching, observing students, and listening to what employers are looking for from graduating marketing students that led to his interest in developing a different approach to teaching marketing. He received his Doctorate degree in Marketing from Southern Illinois University and has an MBA and a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering. Prior to his academic career, Dr. Hill worked as an Aerospace Engineer for General Electric, a Technical Manager for American Airlines, and a Marketing Representative for Unison Industries. He has been a consultant to companies across the United States, providing services in the areas of marketing research and marketing strategy.
