About

My research explores the intersections of B2B strategy, the marketing-finance interface, and firm growth, with the goal of advancing academic knowledge and providing actionable insights for managerial practice. I investigate how firms strategically leverage marketing assets to enhance performance, sustain competitive advantage, and drive long-term growth. A key focus of my research is the franchising industry and multi-unit retail networks, where I examine ownership structures, digital engagement, and competitive dynamics. Methodologically, my work is grounded in empirical rigor, employing econometric modeling, longitudinal data analysis, and quasi-experimental designs. I am particularly interested in the interplay between different marketing strategies and how firms adapt to changing competitive landscapes.
