The Choices of Ioannis
Ioannis Evangelidis will be joining the Bocconi Department of Marketing as an assistant professor in the academic year 2015-2016. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in Marketing at Erasmus University in Rotterdam.
While at Bocconi, Ioannis' hands will be busy with work on consumer decision-making and in particular, on how contextual factors influence choice behavior. Although his co-workers are mostly in America, he expects to start some interesting collaborations with his new colleagues at Bocconi.
Ioannis will be teaching a basic marketing course and a new elective course for students in the Bachelor of Economics, Arts, and Culture program. "In the class called 'Communication and Cultural Consumption Decisions' students will learn to apply state-of-the-art academic research on topics such as communication, persuasion, decision-making, and happiness in cultural and creative industry contexts."
There are two things Ioannis cannot wait to do in Milan: watch Inter-Milan soccer games and pursue his interest in metal music. Ever since he was a kid, Ioannis has been an avid fan of metal music and a regular concertgoer. "Milan has a vibrant metal scene, so I used to fly regularly from Athens to Milan to attend metal concerts."
