I am interested in supervising PhD students on the broad subject area of, but not limited to, retail brands, brand management, corporate identity, corporate communication and employee branding. Other related areas of interest would be on service branding'marketing, halal branding, and corporate strategy. 

Although I am happy to supervise any methodological approach, I prefer mixed methods as research design. I am more inclined towards structural equation modelling as well as exploratory qualitative research.
