Research

New product development and co-creation.

I study marketing challenges related to new product development and co-creation. As a researcher, I seek to offer insights on innovation contests, branding, co-creation and the sharing economy, together with their implications for practice.

My research has been published in leading academic journals in marketing and innovation, including the Journal of Business Research, Technological Forecasting and Social Change, Journal of Travel Research, Recherche et Applications en Marketing and Décisions Marketing. See all publications →
