摘要
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explain how Wroe Alderson's concepts have been cited and used in the last two decades as well as the gap that still exists for researchers to answer about the grand theory of marketing. Design/methodology/approach - The paper provides a comment on Alderson's intellectual legacy. Findings - The practical implication is that Alderson's 150 falsifiable, functionalistic propositions have not been empirically verified. Originality/value - The paper explains why Alderson's work is still important.
