Introduction
Born in Pamplona (Spain), I'm assistant lecturer at the Public University of Navarre and member of the INARBE Research Institute. My lines of work have as a common center: the analysis of the encounter between the offering of companies and the demand of consumers in the markets. From the first perspective, the offering of companies, I have focused on management of distribution channels and their transformation in the online markets, currently working on the analysis of the omnichannel strategy. From the perspective of the consumer, my work focuses on the analysis of channel choice processes, especially in online markets. In this line, we are currently using observational techniques to measure unconscious processes such as eyetracking and experimental designs.
