My graduate education at Ohio State University was in consumer science and merchandising. My research, teaching and public service commitments reflect diverse interests in consumer science and merchandising.
In terms of my research, I have focused on consumer decision making, information, processing, and search behavior. Research in these areas requires application of economics, psychology, and marketing supported by statistics. One practical goal of these theoretical studies is to develop an Expert System for the consumer. Another interest area, both in teaching and research, is retailing. Generally, my major concern is strategic approach to retail management.
