Selma Saracevic joined Copenhagen Business School in October 2023 as a postdoctoral researcher within the project on “The Dark Side of the Sharing Economy”.

Prior to joining Copenhagen Business School, Selma held an academic position at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), where she obtained her PhD in International Marketing Management earlier this year.
