The Digital Consumer Culture Research Project has been welcomed, hosted, and supported by several universities across different regions, where it benefited from locally gathered data, collaborative discussions, and rich academic visits that strengthened its international scope.

Additional universities are scheduled to host the project in the coming months, further supporting its comparative and cross‑cultural research objectives.

-Central Research Question-

How do cross‑national differences in digital culture, from consumer behavior to organizational transformation and digital ecosystems, shape the adoption, trust, and integration of digital tools in everyday life and business practice?

Estimated Average Daily Time Spent Online (Hours/Day). The values are model‑based estimations derived from global digital adoption trends (not official measured data). Sources: Telefónica (2014–2024), Pew Research Center (2025) & Ofcom Online Nation (2025).

Behind every hour spent online lies a story about how people connect, learn, shop, and navigate modern life. Your input helps illuminate these stories and contributes to a clearer picture of our digital realities.

The numbers are only the starting point...
This cross‑national study uncovers what people do online, how digital habits evolve in different countries, and why these contrasts reveal deeper cultural and behavioral dynamics.

This research project has received financial support in 2025 from the Higher Education and Research in Management of European Universities (HERMES).

This grant recognizes the project’s contribution to advancing international research on consumer behavior, and the cultural dynamics of digital platforms.
