Collaborate on Ready-to-Develop Research

 Conference-developed research projects grounded in Geraldine Fennell’s work and extended through experience-appetite theory. Available for academic development and collaboration. 

Explore Projects

What this is

These research opportunities are designed to reduce the time and uncertainty associated with early-stage project development.

Each project includes:

  • A clearly defined research question and conceptual framework 
  • Conference-tested positioning and initial development 
  • Supporting materials (extended abstracts, slides, and notes) 
  • Suggested directions for empirical testing and publication 

The goal is to enable researchers to move more efficiently from idea to publication.

WHO THIS IS FOR

These opportunities are particularly well-suited for:

Assistant Professors
Seeking well-positioned research projects that can be developed into publishable work within a reasonable timeframe.

Doctoral Students (Advanced / ABD)
Looking for dissertation papers or secondary projects, with the option for guidance or collaboration.

Established Researchers
Interested in extending existing research streams into areas related to segmentation, consumer decision-making, and experience design.

HOW IT WORKS

 

  1. Review Available Projects
    Projects are grouped by research theme and include short summaries. 
  2. Request Materials
    Additional materials (extended abstracts, slides, and notes) are available upon request. 
  3. Develop the Research
    Projects may be developed independently or in collaboration, depending on interest and fit.

SUPPORT AVAILABLE

 

Fennell Story Insights can provide support in several forms:

  • Access to existing project materials 
  • Conceptual guidance and feedback 
  • Modest funding for data collection or conference travel (limited, selective) 

Support is flexible and can be tailored to the needs of the researcher and the project.

FEATURED RESEARCH THEMES

Experience-Appetite Segmentation

Research focused on understanding how situation-specific “experience appetites” shape consumer decision-making and behavior.

  • Anticipatory Experience Appetites 
  • Appetites for Tourism Experiences 
  • From Personas to Experience Appetites 
  • Experience-Appetites in Tourism Marketing

Prospect Models and Market Structure

Extensions of Fennell’s work on prospect potential and its implications for segmentation and product planning.

  • A Hierarchical Model of Prospect Potential 
  • A Prospect Model of Market Segmentation 
  • A Net-Prospect Model for New Product Planning 
  • Brand–Consumer Personality Congruence

Applied Contexts

Applications of these frameworks in specific domains.

  • Automotive markets (driver personality, ethnocentrism, automation) 
  • Tourism and destination choice 
  • Subsistence markets

About the work

These projects build on the foundational work of Geraldine Fennell and are part of an ongoing effort to extend her ideas in contemporary research contexts. Recent developments include the concept of experience appetites as a dynamic basis for segmentation and decision-making.
