Ritual Scholarship in Marketing: Past, Present and Future

We examine over thirty years of research on consumer rituals to understand the roles of rituals in relation to consumers, marketers, marketplace relationships and cultural institutions. We organize the ritual literature into five domains (foundational, micro, meso, marketplace, and macro), and highlight future research areas in these domains.
