Varadarajan, who also serves as department head, was recently named the recipient of the American Marketing Association’s Harold H. Maynard Award. The annual award recognizes the contributor of the most noteworthy article published in the Journal of Marketing.
The award is decided by journal readers who vote on their top three articles. Rajan’s article, “Strategic Interdependence in Organizations: Deconglomeration and Marketing Strategy,” was co-authored by two Mays doctoral students, Satish Jayachandran & J. Chris White.
