Broadening the Impact of Transformative Consumer Research: Converting Research Insights into Action

Monica Gerhardt

Transformative Consumer Research (TCR) focuses first and foremost on matters of well-being. TCR projects involve almost exclusively a specific consumption problem or opportunity that is related to consumption and directly impacts well-being. Accordingly, such projects strive to develop insights that can be acted upon by consumers.

One of TCR’s recent initiatives was to host a series of discussions with key partners who are combining their social impact practice with academic research.
