Jeanie Lim, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor
My primary research interest is consumer behavior and retail strategies in the context of e-commerce and m-commerce and cultural impacts on retail internationalization. I also enjoy examining cross-cultural differences in various aspects of consumer behavior in the technology-involved retail environment. I have conducted research on e-store image, consumer loyalty decisions in the mobile servces context, and consumer lifestyles in consumption of high-technology products. My current research project includes diffusion of mobile internet services, consumer behavior in the high-technology market, and internationalization strategies for different types of retailers.
