Our research - One step ahead
The research tradition and approach at CERS follow the Nordic School's mantra: Dare to be different.
The goal is to publish research that is not simply new but also provides alternative perspectives and alters researchers' thinking and doing.
Our research is focused on service business and philosophy within it the four focus areas, also shown in the figure below:
1. Innovation & Strategic Marketing
2. Customer-centricity & Market Insights
Our roots and theoretical lens are grounded in service, which remains at the center of our focus.
