X.ITE Community-driven Research: Design and Sharing
X.ITE Business Community Members are involved every year in at least 3 events to discuss and co-design innovative research projects together with the Luiss-X.ITE Faculty.
In 2016/2017, for instance, Business community members decided to fund the research project “Defining Dynamic Customer-Centered Metrics in Omnichannel Retail”. The research outputs were presented during the X.ITE Research Storm on October, 27th 2017.
In 2020, due to social distancing imposed by the Covid-19 Pandemic, traditional activities of X.ITE Community have been temporarely suspended. Research project design and output sharing will restart from Spring 2022.
