He has published over 25 refereed journal articles and numerous conference papers and book chapters. His work has appeared in Cities, European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Small Business Management, and Marketing Theory, amongst others. Professor Dominic Medway is Professor of Marketing and Deputy Pro-Vice-Chancellor at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. He is an international authority on place marketing and management and his original work in this area began in the mid-1990s when he was part of a team of academics looking at the emergent topic of town centre management within the UK. His work has since continued to examine the complex interactions between places, spaces, and those who produce, manage and consume them, reflecting his academic background in geography. Recently completed studies have addressed issues such as stakeholder interaction in urban place partnerships, how litter affects people’s perceptions of space and crime, and the potential role of smell in the marketing of places.Dominic is the Academic Editor of the Journal of Place Management and Development, ranked 9th out of 122 Urban Studies journals in Scopus in 2016.
