Ofer Dekel-Dachs' research challenges the conventional paradigm of marketing's core elements - markets, consumers and brands. Contrary to traditional models that treat these facets as static outcomes shaped by established structures, Ofer asserts that such rigidity results in marketing failures. His paradigm advocates for a shift towards recognising and embracing differences, temporal nuances and dynamic forces. Ofer's work and collaborations focus particularly on three key areas: the evolution of self, ethnic and sub-culture identities; the application of visual methodologies in marketing research; and the intersection of SMEs, informal institutions and global market access. His work addresses identity as a fluid process, champions robust visual research methodologies and introduces innovative strategies for SMEs in developing economies to compete globally in the digital era.
