Tourism Research and Outreach (CenTRO) and
Associate Professor of Marketing for the
University of Maine Business School. He was a
member of the committee that developed CenTRO and
is a co-author of the proposal for the center

and Marketing Management in both the
undergraduate and MBA programs. His research
interests include the investigation of buyer –
seller relationships in the management of
intangible consumer and industrial products
(e.g., the experiential and service products
common to tourism). This interest drove an
investigation of best management practices in the
advanced technology research centers supported by
the National Science Foundation’s
Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers
program. Each center represents a strategic
network of economic relationships among
businesses, government agencies and academic
institutions. Harold also serves on the editorial
board of Industrial Marketing Management, the
leading scholarly journal devoted to the
investigation of the exchange of goods and
services among businesses and other organizations.
He has served the University of Maine as a
principal investigator for the Advanced
Engineered Wood Composites Center. The AEWCC is
an advanced technology research center devoted to
the development of new products based on plastic and wood fiber composites.
Harold has also held management positions at a
major marketing research supplier, Burke
Marketing Research, as well as in the marketing
research departments of Campbell Soup Company and
General Foods. This practical experience focused
on brand management and new product development.
