TEACHING EXPERTISE

Andrea teaches across undergraduate, postgraduate, MBA, honours, and doctoral programmes, bringing research-informed perspectives to the classroom and integrating contemporary industry challenges into course content. His teaching philosophy emphasises critical thinking, analytical rigour, evidence quality, and the practical application of marketing theory to real-world problems.

 

His teaching reflects his two main research streams. In Technology Marketing, he teaches students to understand how digital platforms, AI-enabled systems, analytics, and digitally mediated environments are reshaping marketing theory and practice. In Sustainable / CSR Marketing, he teaches students to evaluate ethical, environmental, and socially responsible dimensions of marketing decision-making.
