Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Past research has extensively studied the negative effects of brand betrayals on consumer attitudes, but largely ignored their potential positive consequences.

In previous research we have shown that different open source and proprietary tools influence the scope of evidence obtained. In this research we asked, What variation …
