Research

My research outputs to date focus on the issue of travel behaviour, perceived risk and media studies. Beyond this, my research interests include digital marketing, media effects, disaster and crisis management. Specific areas of interest include hospitality, tourism, and retail marketing and consumer behaviour.

Research projects

Currently working on a number of project related to consumer behaviour and organisational practice. Below are two examples of most recent research.

First of examples is a project which focuses on the resilience of the service industries in response to human made and natural disasters. The project focuses on the small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in tourism and hospitality to assess the ways in which such businesses respond to, adapt, and innovate in response to adversity.

The second example is a project concerning social media crisis communication strategies. The specific interest is around ways in which employer and consumer brands can effectively manage their reputation by providing appropriate responses to emerging crises.
