Sheffield Management School PhD candidate Ms Ketikidi, participates at the Global Fashion Management 2019
Ms Elina Ketikidi, PhD Candidate at the University of Sheffield, Management School participated at the Global Fashion Management 2019 that took place in Paris, 11-14 of July. Ms Ketikidi had the opportunity to present her paper on “Sustainable Fashion and Digital Communications: A Systematic Literature Review” and share her views on this topic. Sustainability in fashion is considered to be an essential research field study worth studying for both academia and industry, as the fashion industry is claimed to be the second biggest global polluter after the oil industry. During her presentation the researcher talked on how fashion brands are communicating their sustainable profile to consumers through social media channels. The results of this systematic literature review highlight the negative effects of “fast fashion” in an economic, social and environmental dimension and the lack of consumers’ knowledge about sustainable fashion. The researcher had the chance to meet in person the Chair and President of Global Alliance of Marketing and Management Associations (GAMMA) Prof. Eunju Ko and the Chair of the conference Prof. Benjamin Voyer. Ms Ketikidi Elina graduated from the International Faculty CITY College with an MA in Digital Marketing and Social Media. In 2017, she became a full time PhD student under the Doctoral Program offered by the University of Sheffield and the South East European Research Centre (SEERC). Her PhD topic is “Sustainable fashion and online communication practices: An exploratory study on consumers online visual attention towards sustainable fashion in Greece”.

Classes take place on weekday evenings. The MSc in Finance and Risk Management programme has been designed for technically-minded candidates who want a deep, analytical study of risk management and finance and who intend to pursue a quantitative career in the financial services sector. The programme will develop a solid theoretical foundation and practical skills in finance and risk management as well as analytical skills in relation to financial institutions and markets, portfolio management, instruments, and other critical areas. "Following the financial crisis there is a growing demand for professionals who are skilled in financial risk management. Our MSc in Finance and Risk Management is designed to provide you with comprehensive knowledge of the latest challenges in financial markets and the necessary quantitative skills to measure and manage risk." Dr Nikos Tsorakidis Head of Business Administration & Economics Department The MSc in Business Analytics and Decision Sciences programme will provide a unique exposure to current business opportunities, challenges and developments in the area of Business Analytics, Big Data Management and Decision Sciences. The programme will equip students with the highly sought analytics skills and prepare them to solve challenging and complex business problems and make optimised decisions in the big data driven environment. After successful completion of the taught part of the programme, students are given the opportunity for an industry placement, subject to availability and specific criteria set by the Business Administration & Economics Department.

Sectors such as airlines, logistics, energy, marketing, banking, healthcare, insurance, handle big data and are revisiting their processes and practices to optimize operations and profitability. Therefore, graduates with the skills necessary to interpret data and support decisions will be well placed in the job market." said Dr Tsorakidis.
