Professor Nicolas Papadopoulos receives Research Achievement Award
Dr. Nicolas Papadopoulos, Chancellor’s Professor and Professor of Marketing and International Business, has been recognized with a Carleton University Research Achievement Award for his research on nation branding.
Since the global capital pool for foreign direct investment is limited and the suitors for it many, countries increasingly use branding to position themselves as attractive locations for international firms. However, the factors affecting investors’ location choices are not well understood. This study extends our research program in nation branding by investigating the relationship between investment promotion activities and investor location decisions, and will be of interest to academic researchers, business managers and public policymakers.
Established in 1989, the Research Achievement Awards recognize 10 faculty members who are selected each year by a committee of previous recipients and chaired by the Vice-President, Research and International. The awards are valued at $15,000.
