Marketing, Negotiation & Sales

Research team

Description

Our research focuses on (i) the analysis of consumer behavior, (ii) the study of consumer behavior (based on big data analysis) allowing companies to enhance their customer capital, and (iii) the practice of negotiations within networks (integrating the network as a development capital for companies, but also for non-profit organizations). Our research covers topics related to consumer behavior in their relationship with the company (BtoC) as well as studies on relationships between companies (BtoB). The methodologies used are diverse and include both qualitative methods (semi-structured interviews and focus groups) and quantitative methods (experiments, surveys, exploitation of customer databases). Teams can be formed around these topics (Consumer Behavior; Marketing Analytics; Negotiation).
