Tutkimus
My research focuses on service, both as a context and a business logic applicable to any business. My three key areas of research include customer experience and journeys, customer/actor engagement, and value creation within service relationships and networks. I am interested in examining emerging phenomena that are relevant for contemporary markets but have remained insufficiently understood. My research can be characterized as explorative and theory building in nature, primarily drawing on qualitative research methods. My research has been published in a wide range of high-quality journals such as Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, Journal of Service Research, Journal of Product Innovation Management, Industrial Marketing Management and Journal of Service Management. I serve in as Associate Editor in Journal of Service Research and Industrial Marketing Management and in the Editorial Advisory Boards of JAMS, JSR, AMS Review, IMM, Journal of Service Management, Journal of Services Marketing, and Journal of Service Theory and Practice.
