My research focuses on international marketing. There are two streams to this research: contemporary and historical. Currently, I am interested in supervising doctoral research which contributes to the historical stream. Historical methods provide a unique opportunity to understand the process of change within the international commercial environment. My research focuses on firms with a point-of-sale relationship with consumers. This encompasses organisational, operational, and branding issues. Publications include articles on the interinstitutional shaping of retail innovation (see Business History, 2024), the internationalisation of proto-modern brands (Business History, 2021), and the internationalisation of firms such as Tiffany of New York (Business History Review, 2017). To access full details of these publications and others click on the link below: “View Nicholas's profile”.

Killian is available to supervise PhD projects. His own research interests centre on understanding how consumption, markets and culture intersect through qualitative research methods. Previously he has worked on understanding how both digital and analog subcultures operate, studying how adolescents use anonymous social media apps and how Irish road bowlers re-appropriate public spaces for gambling consumption. More recently he has studied consumer experiences of disability and marketplace accessibility. Central to this research has been his involvement on a project entitled the Marketplace and I - a disability arts led exhibition. Killian is willing to supervise PhD projects on digital consumption, consumer disabilities, subcultures, gambling, sustainability and more generally 'wild and wacky consumer oddballs' (Bode and Ostergaard, 2013). His current wishlist for projects includes 1. Embodied understandings of marketplace accessibility and disability, 2. Gambling and consumer culture, 3. Alternative methods approaches to research i.e. arts based methods, introspection, poetry, exhibitions etc. 4. Alternative or lesser known subcultures or brand communities, 5. The consumption of Guinness among Gen Z'ers, and Oh something on Lego, who doesn't like Lego!
