	There have been a bunch of good ABM publications in the Management literature as well:

Management Science
Journal of Consumer Research
Journal of Marketing
Marketing Science
International Journal of Research in Marketing (which includes a nice article on the uses of ABM in Marketing in 2011 by Rand and Rust if I might modestly suggest)

Take care,
Bill
