The marketing field is always changing, and our faculty are at the forefront of ways to make our students aware of and ready for these changes.
Our faculty publish research in top-tier marketing journals, contributing to our understanding of marketing strategy (e.g., advertising effects, brand management, pricing and promotions, retailing, salesforce management, relationship quality, B2B services, and international marketing strategy with a focus on transitioning economies) and consumer behavior (compulsive consumer behaviors, impact of the Internet on consumer behavior, search behavior, online customer communities, subsistence consumers, and gratitude).
