He then moved to the British university system, where he spent more than eleven years, first as a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at the University of Stirling (Scotland) and then as a Full Professor (and Head of Department) at the University of Surrey (England). Currently, he leads the Institute of Retailing, Sales and Marketing at the Johannes Kepler University Linz, as the Chair of Marketing.

Christoph’s research focuses on shopping behaviour and selected aspects of marketing and retail management. Christoph’s work has been published in leading journals in the field of marketing, retailing and operations management. His most current research foci are store and agglomeration patronage behaviour, coopetition in retail agglomerations (shopping and town centres), the measurement of attractiveness in an on- and offline retail context, as well as the role of retail operations and shoppers in the Covid19 crisis.

Christoph has more than six years of experience in managing various marketing and management programmes in the United Kingdom. He now implements a holistic, client-centric approach to this MSc, with an outstanding student experience at its heart, from application to graduation (and thereafter). He is excited by the opportunity to work together with his outstanding colleagues at the Business School and the excellent students in the MSc Management program.
