Dr Zhewen Tang

Zhewen Tang is a Lecturer in Marketing and Business and Management. She is a Program Leader for the MA Luxury Brand Management at Northumbria University, London Campus. She obtained her doctoral degree in Business and Management from the University of Manchester, UK.

She implemented innovative teaching methods, emphasising the 3Cs principle (creative, collaborative, critical thinking) to foster dynamic learning environments. This equipped students with essential skills for their academic and professional journeys. Her research interests focus on consumer behaviour within various consumption frameworks, including family dynamics across generations, food-related experiences, the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the integration of Information Systems and Information Communication Technologies (ICTs).

Her research commitment is to comprehensively understand the nuances that shape consumer preferences and decision-making processes in an ever-evolving market landscape, intending to provide a new understanding of consumer wellbeing and sustainable consumption for different stakeholders with theoretical insights and business practices.

She is committed to academic and conference activities by reviewing conference papers, presenting research findings, dedicating to a conference session chair, and developing the global network through publication and collaboration with scholars geographically from a variety of social and cultural backgrounds.

She maintains a close network with the industry (e.g., Luxury Brands, High-tech firms, Healthcare, and Hospitality industry). In her role as a placement tutor and academic supervisor, she is devoted to facilitating the seamless integration of students’ academic performance with the prevailing demands of the industry.
