Research Focus Areas

Cutting-edge research on pricing, channels, and consumer behavior.

In our research on price management, we focus on how companies can capture the value they create—through strategic pricing tools, behavioral insights, and implementation frameworks.

The digital transformation reshapes marketing every day. Our research helps companies build adaptive capabilities to keep pace with algorithmic change and shifting customer behavior.

Global brands must understand how country-of-origin effects and local cultural cues shape perception. We study international positioning strategies that resonate in diverse markets.

AI is more than automation—it’s a strategic enabler. We analyze how marketing leaders can responsibly integrate AI to enhance decision-making, personalization, and ethical leadership.

Marketing must be measurable. I investigate how to structure KPIs, dashboards, and effect chains that link investments directly to business performance.

Sponsorship is only effective when activated smartly. We explore how rights holders and sponsors can digitally leverage assets for long-term brand value.
