Research Interest

The guiding principle of the entire study path can be found in the analysis of distribution issues in which the "logistical" and "brand" determinants are recognized. These two themes mainly focused on their scientific interest, trying to highlight their centrality that, especially in the current competitive environment, is manifested in the connection between material and immaterial between the enterprise and the market. On these topics, research on the management dynamics of agro-food businesses is also being developed, considering their effects on the development of the territory and its tourism potential.
