The core always goes back to providing customer value.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brock\u2019s Goodman School of Business will be well represented at the conference. Goodman marketing professors Todd Green and Abdul Ashraf, who have completed research on green marketing and electronic marketing, respectively, will join Thongpapanl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali Anwar and Luciano Lapa, both students from Goodman\u2019s Master of Science in Management, will also be attending this week\u2019s conference where they will each have an opportunity to present research they have completed as part of their coursework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The chance to present research at a research conference is an important step in every student&#8217;s academic career, Thongpapanl notes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI really think this is a great opportunity for them to be able to have a chance to go out and make the research presentation that they have been working on for the past eight to 12 months. It\u2019s a good learning opportunity because that\u2019s what we are trying to do \u2014 we want to make sure they have first-hand experience,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z5bIlrZ2cPk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thongpapanl is playing a lead role in the marketing research conference, which attracts top scholars from around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":44873,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[39,1,4,5],"tags":[5366,3569,594,5365],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44872"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
