RESEARCH INTERESTS

I am interested in investigating issues surrounding product adoption. This includes sub areas of electronic word-of-mouth, advertising and warning
messages, media use, boycotts, influencers/celebrity endorsements. I also have interests in sample selection and attrition, data pre-processing methods, sampling bias. I also have an emerging interest in topics relating to marketing strategy such as marketing myopia and the way specific strategies are chosen to address specific market conditions.
