| Tom Novak is Albert O. Steffey Professor of Marketing and Co-Director of the Sloan Center for Internet Retailing at the University of California, Riverside, where he joined the faculty in July 2006. Novak’s research since 1993 has focused exclusively on Internet and Web based commerce. His current research areas include measuring the online consumer experience (motivations for using social media and virtual worlds, flow, and the design of compelling online environments); Internet marketing (business models, clickstream modeling, metrics, online panels); societal impact of the Internet (digital divide, Internet indispensability, trust, privacy), and social cognition (thinking style, emergent consumers in product innovation). An internationally recognized academic researcher in Web-based commerce, Novak has published extensively on the topic in academic journals in a range of scholarly disciplines, including SCIENCE, Marketing Science, Journal of Marketing, Communications of the ACM, the Information Society, and Harvard Business Review. He has also been a contributing writer to both Wired and HotWired. Prior to joining the faculty at the University of California, Riverside, Novak served on the faculties of Vanderbilt University, New York University, Columbia University, and Southern Methodist University. From 1995 through 1999, he spent summers as a visiting scholar at Paul Allen’s Interval Research Corporation, Palo Alto California, was a visiting scholar at Stanford University in the summers of 1997 and 2000, and was a visiting scholar at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism in Fall 2010. Novak received his A.B. in Psychology from Oberlin College in 1977 and his M.A. (1980) and Ph.D. (1984, in quantitative psychology with a formal minor in Biostatistics) from the L.L. Thurstone Psychometric Laboratory at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. |
