I believe that as researchers we are positioned to provide practitioners with enhanced tools to overcome any challenges currently faced in these industries. My research focuses on how theory can be used in practice and help practitioners in the financial sector to understand the behaviour of financial market participants and their risk profiles. With this research and my researcher partners have been collaborating with a private investment firm in South Africa to help perfect their investment client profile.

Therefore, my research is aimed at providing information to the industry that can be applied practically, by understanding the behaviour of market participants (behavioural finance) in the investment and banking industry. This area of research has also extended into the banking sector to better profile the behaviour of depositors and their behavioural finance biases. A more critical analysis has also been done on the demographic profile of bank customers relating to their banking behaviour. This will also enable banks to predict possible bank runs and minimize losses. Some of my research has also looked into how behavioural finance (herding behaviour of investors) on the stock market can lead to extreme volatility in a firms stock price and possible losses.

Over the years I have delivered more than 8 postgraduate students along with a recent PhD student. In my career, I have managed to publish more than 30 research articles in internationally recognised journals. Between 2020 and 2021 the last 2 years, I have published an average of eight articles per year in high quality, peer-reviewed journals to make my contribution to the field of banking and finance. Up to date I have an output of 17,23 in total research output.

Prof Wilma Viviers is a research professor in the TRADE (Trade and Development) research entity, an NRF-rated researcher and holder of the WTO (World Trade Organization) Chair at the North-West University (Potchefstroom Campus). Wilma holds a DCom (Economics) from North-West University (formerly Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education).

Prof Viviers’ primary research interests lie in the synergies between international trade and economic development and how developing countries (including South Africa) can grow their economies in more inclusive and sustainable ways. In this regard, she and her research team are focusing in particular on the digital economy and big data analytics and how these can be leveraged to improve countries’ growth prospects and export decision-making.

Prof Viviers’ active involvement in initiatives aimed at enhancing South Africa’s trade competitiveness and performance have earned her the respect of colleagues and associates both locally and internationally. She was instrumental in introducing the TRADE-DSM® (Decision Support Model) in South Africa some years ago and has also been overseeing its rollout in a number of other countries. The TRADE-DSM® is a market selection tool which has earned the reputation of being a refreshingly efficient approach to identifying high-potential export opportunities (or product-country combinations). The TRADE-DSM® and its many applications are extensively covered in numerous academic publications, including the book, Export Promotion: A Decision Support Model Approach, by Prof Ludo Cuyvers from the University of Antwerp and Prof Viviers.

Prof Viviers sits on several national and international committees, and is frequently asked to speak at business and government functions about her research activities. She has also received numerous awards in recognition of her ground-breaking research over the years.
