Throughout my academic career I have been able attract research funding. Most recently I received a SSHRC Innovation in the New Economy (INE) Research Grant for $286,000. I am Principal Investigator for the project titled “Managing E-loyalty through Experience Design”. Duration of the grant is 2002-2005. To date this project has supported 6 faculty, and 10 students at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Under my supervision a website for the e-loyalty project was developed, and further details about the research may be obtained at www.eloyalty.ca
Future research plans and grant applications will be aimed to extend the e-loyalty research. Ideally this will occur through a network of Internet researchers at SFU as well as at other Canadian or international universities. Developmental work for the next phase of research funding has already begun.
