Overview

Projects cover a wide range of themes ranging from the marketing department鈥檚 influence on organisational performance, determinants of marketing innovation, brand and product development success, and pricing, advertising and distribution effectiveness, to marketing information/decision-support systems utilisation, value co-creation by open innovation, and consumer evaluation and processing of product communications.

In addition, the group鈥檚 empirical and policy-oriented work is supported by the strong links with industry and an international network of research partners.
