For example, he is interested in algorithmic pricing and the impact of marketing on employees. The results of his research have been recognized and published in top-tier business research journals such as the Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Strategic Management Journal, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, and the International Journal of Research in Marketing. He is co-editor of the Handbook of Market Research and several special issues of academic journals.
