• Research Interests

  Jodie's research agenda focuses on understanding, facilitating and optimising interactions between actors in a service system. Specifically, engaging customers, employees and other actors to co-create value (incl. service innovation); and strategically managing internal mechanisms, such as market intelligence, internal marketing, and organisational capabilities and orientation to facilitate interaction and value creation.

  Thus, my key specific research areas of interest include: customer engagement, market shaping, value co-creation, service innovation, and market orientation.
