“Shopping is such a big part of our lives, it is not surprising that studying it can help us see ourselves more clearly,” said Hooman Estelami, Ph.D., associate professor of marketing at the Fordham Schools of Business and co-organizer of the conference. “Because price is at the cutting edge of shopping, we are seeing more and more great pricing research. Our conference will showcase this work and promises to be an exciting event.”
The conference will also honor the contributions to the field of Robert Schindler, Ph.D., professor of marketing at the Rutgers University School of Business. Schindler, an expert in consumer behavior, will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award in Pricing Research and present a paper on “What Prices Reveal About the Mind.”
The Fordham University Pricing Center is dedicated to developing a better understanding of prices and pricing. The center conducts research and seminars for practitioners and advocates for pricing education in business school curricula.
