Business professor Marc Fetscherin’s recent article looks at “brand hate” as defined as an intense, negative emotional feeling toward a brand.

Gelbman Family Chair of International Business and Professor of Marketing Marc Fetscherin, in collaboration with Slovenian professors Maja Konecnik Ruzzierb, Saabina Ivanov, and Mitja Ruzzier, has published the paper “Brand Hate Internationally: A Validation Study from Slovenia” in the prestigious Journal of International Consumer Marketing.
