Hans B. Thorelli Award Recipients

Each year, the Editorial Board of the Journal of International Marketing honors the author(s) of one of the articles published with the Hans B. Thorelli Award, which was re-established as a five-year-plus award in 2005. The award recognizes an article that has made the most significant and long-term contribution to international marketing theory or practice.

The award is named in honor of Professor Hans B. Thorelli. Professor Thorelli directed the first-ever representative study of consumer experience in the marketplace in a developing country (Thailand). He initiated the development of the pioneering, marketing-oriented International Operations Simulation (INTOP) at the University of Chicago in 1964, and he directed the 2006 edition of INTOPIA B2B for the Internet. Thorelli was a Distinguished Professor of Business Administration Emeritus at Indiana University and the author of more than 100 articles and 11 books in marketing, international business, strategic management, and public policy. He held doctoral and LL.D. degrees from the University of Stockholm. Professor Thorelli passed away in 2009.
