Professor Dr. Christoph Teller
Johannes Kepler University Linz, Institute for Retailing, Sales & Marketing, Austria
e-mail: christoph.teller@jku.at
In Christoph's research, he tries to find answers to one of the oldest questions in retail and marketing research: What establishes on/offline retail patronage? Thereby, he focuses not only at the single-store level but also at the supra-store (agglomeration) level, within a national but also an international context. Besides this, he also deals with the 'dark side of retailing' - retail logistics and operations. In particular, he investigates the last links in the supply chain, i.e. stores (‘last 50 metres’ to the point of sale) and households (‘last mile’ to the point of consumption). 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. His work is regularly published in leading international marketing, logistics and operations management journals, e.g. Journal of Retailing, Production and Operations Management, Economic Geography, Journal of Cleaner Production, Journal of Business Research.
