Research

My research interests are focused on the creative and cognitive processes innovators use to create a novel product or service concepts.  This includes both the entrepreneurial thinking methods used to identify opportunities and create value and the behavioral economic implications of how consumers respond to these concepts.  My latest work is in the area of concept design and the use of analytical techniques such as latent semantic analysis and correspondence analysis, as well as emerging tools in Artificial Intelligence in predicting consumer response.
