Alexander G. Fulmer
My research interests lie within consumer behavior and social psychology. Specifically, in my dissertation, I challenge the longstanding and intuitive preference for intentionality and effort. I explore ways in which consumers, employees, and organizations can actually derive benefit from chance and unintentional outcomes over and above otherwise identical intentional outcomes. I received my Ph.D. from Yale University in the Spring of 2023 will be joining Cornell University's Nolan School of Hotel Administration as an Assistant Professor of Marketing in the Fall of 2023. |
