I have collaborated with TalTech since 2010. From 1998 to 2017, I studied and worked at the Prague University of Economics and Business, where I earned my PhD in Finance and Accounting in 2005.

Marketing Research Group
Keywords: consumer/client/stakeholder engagement; changes in consumer behavior; service design and customer experience; sustainable consumer behavior; sustainable urban environment; slow/sustainable tourism
Research in the Marketing Unit focuses on several interrelated lines of inquiry that examine changes in services, consumption, and urban space from an interdisciplinary perspective. The service and relationship marketing research direction addresses the engagement of end-users and business customers in service development and marketing processes, the co-creation of digital value, and communication based on compliance and discipline between providers and consumers, with an emphasis on sustainability and ethical principles. A key component involves the critical analysis of client-provider relationships, service delivery and improvement processes, and customer engagement. These studies have contributed to the development of cutting-edge theories, complemented by research on stakeholder interaction in service and product innovation. The thematic lead, Professor L. Hollebeek, is ranked among the top 1% most cited social scientists globally according to Clarivate. The service design focus builds on the dLab initiative, fostering new forms of collaboration, including service design conferences. Additionally, research explores the application of artificial intelligence in regulated services, analyzing its ethical implications and compliance-related challenges. The consumption research direction examines consumer behavior theories, customer experience, consumer journeys, and ethical and sustainable consumption. Studies emphasize experience design and holistic customer experiences, including the impact of digital transformation from a marketing perspective. The urban and housing studies research direction investigates the transformation of urban realities through the interconnections of socio-economic, cultural, and spatial-material processes, as well as the interplay between individual and institutional strategies. Processes related to living space and public space are analyzed from an interdisciplinary perspective, integrating sociological, architectural, urban planning, and business research theoretical and methodological approaches.

Sustainable Value Chain Management Research Group
Keywords: sustainable business development; operations management; sustainable innovation; environmental economics; green economy; smart supply chain management; organizational learning; data science
Sustainable value chain management deals with tasks and processes aiming at preparing and supporting the implementation of growth opportunities and innovations within the constraints of a firm’s strategy. Thus, sustainable value chain management is focused on preparing, planning, implementing and evaluating a continuous stream of potential innovations. The research group investigates potential growth and innovation opportunities within and between organizations by using interdisciplinary approaches from business, sustainability management (e.g. circular economy) and environmental economics, operations and innovation management, engineering, IT, design and social sciences in the context of the European agenda for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. Consequently, the research group deals with innovations and growth opportunities in the areas of digitalization, smart production and Industry 4.0/5.0, Big Data, strategic alliances and networks as well as industrial strategy and competitiveness studies. The research work usually takes place in the framework of European and/or national projects and in the context of the university–business cooperation.
Wolfgang Gerstlberger is a professor of operations management and the Head of the Sustainable Value Chain Management Unit at the Department of Business Administration since 2019. He received his doctorate (Rer. Pol.) from the University of Kassel in Germany in 1998 and his habilitation in General Business Administration from the same university in 2004. Prior to TalTech, he was a professor of innovation management at the University of Southern Denmark for more than ten years. His current research focuses on sustainable operations and innovation management, digital transformation of enterprises (e.g. "Industry 4.0"), innovation systems and innovation-driven entrepreneurship.
