My Teaching
My teaching interest focuses on research methods in marketing and marketing analytics. My teaching philosophy is to bring methods and theoretical concepts to live through by applying them to real-world problems and data. I aim to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and adaptive mindset and skills that are transferable to new situations.
At Massey University (2013-2018), I led the development of the Master of Analytics (Business) that started in 2015. This is a postgraduate degree where students learn how to harvest, process, analyze and present big data to support informed and effective organizational decision-making.
At Massey University (2013-2018), I taught:
At the University of Waikato (2006-2013), I taught “Marketing Research” and “The Research Process: Marketing,” a Masters-level course on research methods.
At Tilburg University (2000-2006), I taught “Marketing Research,” “Marketing Models,” and “International Business Research”.
