Overview

Dinara Davlembayeva is a Lecturer in Marketing and Strategy at Cardiff Business School. She has been serving as an Associate Editor at the International Journal of Business Systems & Applied Management since April 2018. Dinara holds Ph.D. in Marketing from Newcastle University Business School and MSc Degree in Marketing and Strategy from Warwick Business School.

Dinara is interested in exploring individuals’ behaviour and purchase decisions within digitally mediated environments and social groups by taking into account interdisciplinary insight into phenomena under investigation. The research projects that she has undertaken examined the social and psychological underpinnings of participation in the sharing economy and implications for its stakeholders, the impact of online influencer marketing on consumer cognitions and behaviour, as well as customers' experiences resulting from interaction with AI technologies. Dinara is also interested in the application of digital technologies and their entrepreneurial and organisational impacts.

The completed research has been published in high-impact journals, such as Industrial Marketing Management, Journal of Business Research, and Information Technology and People. Several research papers were recognised as the Best Papers at the 18th IFIP Conference on E-business, E-services and E-society and the 7th International Conference of Marketing, Strategy and Policy Research Group, while the paper presented at the UK Academy for Information Systems Conference in 2021 received the prize as a highly commended paper.
