A Tribute to Abdul Ali (1957-2018)

Abdul Ali, a dear colleague at Babson College and a valued leader in the American Marketing Association Entrepreneurial Marketing Special Interest Group and the Global Research Symposium for Marketing and Entrepreneurship, brought knowledge, humility, and laughter to all he did, whether it be in teaching, research, or service. He was at the forefront of entrepreneurial marketing, and he dedicated much of his professional life to its advancement. Co-editing this special issue of the Journal of Macromarketing was a great source of pride and honor for him. In his personal life, Abdul was proud of his wife and two daughters; their accomplishments were his accomplishments. He also spoke so highly of his siblings, and he cherished the time that he was able to spend with his parents. Abdul's passing is a great loss to all of us, and we have attempted to capture his essence in this memoriam.
