The AUT Business School's Marketing department has a powerful core of 20 research-active, ethnically diverse and well-published academics who are engaged in multidisciplinary research.
Members of the Marketing department have a wide portfolio of interests. Our staff are recognised internationally as experts in their field, and bring their cutting-edge research into the classes they teach. We frequently host top-level international visitors, and regularly hold research seminars. Our excellent ties with industry provide access to data, funding and awareness of issues facing modern businesses.
The wide range of top-level marketing research published by each staff member allows us to practise research-led teaching. Our students are at the cutting edge of the theoretical advances, and are well aware of the issues and challenges the industry faces in a dynamic and rapidly changing world.
Our academics have a diversity of interests, all under the wider umbrella of making a social impact – this impact is sometimes made through the applicability to business (as in for instance, the marketing and consumer behaviour papers reported below), sometimes directly through government agencies (as, for example, the work of Associate Professor Hyde concerning the cleaning of polluted Southland waterways).
AUT Marketing department academics have published well over 100 papers in the last three years, many in top-level journals. Many staff members are active on editorial boards and editorial teams. Research in the current year alone demonstrates the breadth of research themes within the group and the way each theme relates to the overarching research goal of social and business impact:
