Research Interests
The research focuses on organizational management, economic development, and social inclusion, with a strong emphasis on applying mathematical and computational models to optimize business performance. A significant portion of the work involves the use of structural equation modeling, fuzzy logic, and game theory to analyze market positioning, supply chain efficiency, and the productivity of agroecological associations. By integrating quantitative methods with strategic management, the research provides evidence-based solutions for SMEs, particularly in the manufacturing and agricultural sectors, addressing challenges such as financing, technological adoption, and crisis management. Furthermore, the work explores the intersection of technology and service delivery, examining customer experience, business intelligence, and the impact of digital transformation on competitiveness. Beyond the corporate sphere, the research addresses social responsibility and educational inclusion, investigating policies and institutional practices that support individuals with disabilities and promote university-community engagement. Through these diverse yet interconnected studies, the research contributes to both theoretical advancements in organizational strategy and practical applications for sustainable development and social equity.
Key Topics:
- Organizational Management and SME Competitiveness
- Mathematical and Computational Modeling in Business
- Agroecological Supply and Productivity Optimization
- Social Inclusion and Disability Rights
- Strategic Marketing and Customer Experience
