Dr Ewa Krolikowska-Adamczyk

Associate Head of the School of Management & Marketing - Student Success


Dr Ewa Krolikowska-Adamczyk joined the University of Greenwich in 2005 as an experienced industry professional, having worked in Marketing and Business Development at PwC in London and Warsaw for nine years.

Since joining the Business Faculty, Ewa has conducted research to enhance our understanding of business and customer relationship management. Ewa is particularly interested in applying social psychology theories to relationship marketing. This led to her PhD thesis in which she explored social bonds which develop between business partners and developed a scale to measure these bonds based on attachment theory. More recently, she has examined how customer experiences and innovative technologies can enhance customer-firm relationships and used her research in developing modules on: Relationship Marketing and the Customer Experience; Event Marketing; and Tourism and Hospitality Marketing. Ewa also conducts pedagogical research into working with students as partners and embedding social consciousness in undergraduate students through teaching.
