About me
Dr Richard Lee is Associate Professor of Marketing and Research Associate at the Ehrenberg Bass Institute. He is also Associate Director of the Australian Centre for Asian Business at the University of South Australia and a management committee member of the China Business Network SA (CBNSA).
Richard holds a BSc and a MBus from Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, and a PhD from University of Western Australia. Prior to academia, Richard spent 15 years managing sales and marketing functions with Asian multinational IT companies. With extensive regional exposure, Richard has worked in China for three years where he headed a Beijing-based foreign-Sino joint venture company.
His research interests are in ethnic marketing and international marketing, particularly within the Asia Pacific region. His publications include European Journal of Marketing, International Marketing Review, Journal of Travel Research, and Journal of International Marketing. Richard has won several grants to investigate how Australian food and wine companies can promote their products to inbound tourists. A particular interest is tourists from China, a key export market. Targeting these largely middle-class consumers while they are in Australia may make them effective word-of-mouth advocates and long term Australian product consumers upon returning to their home cities.
