In the digital domain, our faculty seek to answer questions such as how digital products, social media, and online environments impact purchase, consumption, and product innovation; how consumers and firms respond to new digital technologies, digital communications and digital business models; how marketing actions affect online consumer behavior and lift company performance; and what drives marketing effectiveness and customer engagement. In the social domain, our faculty research questions how social factors influence consumers' choices and how these factors can be leveraged to strengthen relationships between firms and consumers, improve individual and societal wellbeing, and support health, sustainability, and innovation.
