Dr. Coskuner-Balli's research focuses on the cultural dynamics that shape markets, consumer behavior, and brand strategy. She explores how market logics—comprised of understandings, norms, and rules—evolve over time, identifies key market actors (such as the state, brands, entrepreneurs, and consumers), and investigates the implications of these dynamics for both markets and society.
