Teaching Philosophy
I believe that my foremost responsibility as an educator and a scholar is to stimulate my students' intellectual curiosity and to guide them in their pursuit to become effective life-long learners. In my teaching, I introduce my students to the tools and ideas that will help them in making sound business decisions which will have positive impact not only on the organizations they lead, but also on the world in which they live.
My professional orientation in the discipline of marketing is one of consumer advocacy. I urge my students to become the agents of societal transformation on a global scale. During class discussions, I often ask my students: What is the world that you would like to live in? How can marketing contribute to improvement of human conditions globally? In guiding my students to provide answers to these questions, I emphasize the importance of the societal marketing concept philosophy, which asserts that the goal of marketing is the achievement of both the financial and non-financial objectives of firms through identification and satisfaction of consumer needs and wants, while considering the wellbeing of the consumers and the global society at large.
Research & Interests
My current research focuses on the cross-cultural consumer behavior with specific emphasis on consumer complaining, consumer information sharing, and the influence of socio-linguistics on communicating with various consumer groups. I am also interested in the methodological challenges in the cross-cultural research domain, especially, the measurement equivalence of constructs and the application of multi-group structural equation models in the cross-cultural research context. Another fascinating research area that I continue to pursue is the country-of-origin effect phenomenon, with a particular focus on the lack of transparency by global firms in sharing the country-of-manufacture information with consumers. In my past research, I have also examined business opportunities in emerging international markets and cultural influences on organizational behavior.
