The marketing faculty
has identified the following areas of research interest: The study of bundling can be approached from a variety of perspectives, such as information processing, transaction cost analysis, and competitive advantage. Specific research topics include how consumers select between competing bundles (i.e., how information processing differs when compared to selecting between individual products), the role of bundling in reducing churn in the marketplace, and the optimal configuration of the bundle (the number of products in the bundle as well as the relationship between the products in the bundle)
Information Processing and Individual Decision Making
Competitive Marketing Strategies This is an area of immense importance to marketing managers and research in this field requires an understanding of areas outside of traditional marketing such as economics (e.g., game theory) and finance (Capital Asset Pricing Models). One area of study is the wireless telecommunications industry. In this area, one could potentially research how consumers adopt new tecnologies, how should the different telecommunication services be optimally priced given that there are strong cross elasticity across services, and what is the optimum service portfolio.
All marketing students will generally need a strong quantitative background even if their ultimate dissertation is in a behavioral area. Multiple courses in methodology including econometrics, multivariate analysis, discrete choice modeling, and experimental design will be needed. Some of these courses will be offered in the School, while others can be taken in the economics, political science and psychology departments. The Marketing area has graduated two Ph.D. students. David Reid, is a Professor at the University of Toledo. He examined the dynamics of group decision making in Buying Centers. Cynthia Cann is an Associate Professor at the University of Scranton. She investigated the diffusion and buying practices in organizations purchasing mainframe computers. Her dissertation was funded by IBM. Current marketing faculty members have authored books, and articles in leading journals, such as the Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Research, Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Journal of Retailing, International Journal of Research in Marketing, Journal of Consumer Psychology, Journal of Advertising, Journal of Business Research, Marketing Letters, , Journal of Product and Brand Management, Journal of Public Policy and Marketing, Journal of Product and Brand Management.
