Teaching and Research Fields
My current research interests revolve around technological influences on consumer behavior. The key argument is that companies should not consider their customers as merely target markets and fail to recognize that consumers are individuals and decision-makers. A deeper understanding of the fundamentals of the consumer decision-making process should form as the building blocks of sustainable marketing strategies. In light of advanced technologies in online interactions and consumer decisions, my inquiry calls for the role of technology to enhance individual wellbeing and create societal progress, not just innovations for economic growth. In the absence of transparency and privacy regulation, my research explores the positive and negative consequences of technologically enabled interactions on consumer autonomy and wellbeing.
