Brief Bio
Gültekin Cakir is a Researcher at the IVI, Maynooth University, Ireland, and a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Research Fellow in the PERFORM European Training Network, a Horizon 2020 funded project, where he is also chair of the ESR-Committee. He was involved in various consulting projects with SMEs and has a background in Business Management, Digital Retail and Information Systems. His research interest and recent publications deal with strategic and operational challenges retailers face such as the “Retail Apocalypse“, while undergoing the digital transformation process in the industry. Currently, he is investigating the strategic barriers of assortment integration while pursuing an omnichannel retailing approach. With the help of major Austrian and Irish retailers, he explores the underlying factors and new dynamics in assortment decision-making.

SCOPE

Digitalisation is transforming the retail industry into “Digital Retail”, a combination of physical retailing and digital technologies. At the same time, omnichannel customer journey, described as the simultaneous use of various channels by customers, emerged as a new phenomenon caused by changes in consumer behaviour.

Human-Computer Interaction brings a user-centric perspective into needs for utilizing computer/digital technologies, and for shaping those towards positive and engaging experiences.

Shaping these technologies for customer needs and enriching shopping experiences is essential, also fulfilling retailer requirements. The intersection of HCI and Digital Retail can bridge the gap for enabling and designing omnichannel and convenient shopping experiences to consumers and retailers equally.

This special session is organized by members of the Horizon2020 project PERFORM: www.perform-network.eu.
