Brief Description |
| Internationalization of the firm |
Research into the internationalization process of the firm and specifically the international market selection processes of firms, from both a descriptive and normative perspective. Within this area I have a special interest in the psychic distance phenomenon and its applicability to Australian firms and the effects of culture on business operations. |
| Economic globalisation |
The effects of the globalisation process on firms in middle-size open economies such as Australia. |
