Meet UniBo PhD Students - Musa Essa, "Marketplace inclusivity for people with disabilities"
🔍 Our PhD student Musa Essa discussed his research on marketplace inclusivity for people with disabilities in the interview series "Meet UniBo PhD Students".
Musa’s project won the "ACR-Sheth Foundation Dissertation Award," one of the most prestigious awards for doctoral students in the marketing field, which aims to incentivize research topics with high social impact.
💡 People with disabilities constitute around 15% of the world's population, with an annual disposable income of $1.9 trillion. However, they still are disadvantaged in the marketplace. When discussing marketplace inclusivity for people with disabilities, the research has mainly focused on what companies and governments can do. But what can consumers do?
Musa analyzes how consumer behavior affects inclusivity for people with disabilities. So, how can consumers be initiators of change?
