Research Statement
- My research is established on the notion that understanding sport consumers is critical for the development of successful marketing and management in sport business or operations, and thus examines factors that influence sport consumption behaviors. This line of thought is extended through the efforts in connecting theory and practice in the realm of sport convergence. Evidently, my work draws on theories, concepts, and applications from general consumer behavior, marketing, management, sponsorship, volunteerism, analytics, and strategy.
