Each year, ten faculty members are selected by a committee of past recipients and provided with funds to support a research project.
Stelios Zyglidopoulos – 2025
Stelios Zyglidopoulos is a Professor of Strategic Management and the Academic Director for the Sprott MSc/PhD programs. His research project, Digital Transformation and Corruption in Public Sector Organizations, explores how digitalization impacts corruption in public sector organizations, focusing on the Greek public sector, known for historically high corruption levels. Despite optimism that digital transformation increases accountability and reduces corruption, evidence remains mixed. Through qualitative research and interviews with key stakeholders, the study aims to uncover how digital trails influence accountability and identify conditions that affect the relationship between digital transformation and corruption.
Carol-Ann Tetrault Sirsly Award
The Carol-Ann Tetrault Sirsly award is an internal award given to a faculty member at the Sprott School of Business who published in high quality peer-reviewed journals in the previous year.
José Rojas-Méndez – 2024
José Rojas-Méndez is a Professor of International Business and Marketing, whose deep interest in consumer behaviour and the factors that influence it inspire him to develop and refine explanatory theoretical frameworks. Most recently, José has explored how “nation branding” has become a key communication strategy for engaging and representing national qualities to foreign publics, compared different measures of social desirability to clarify their impact on research findings about ethical issues, and applied the Stereotype Content Model to host countries promoting their tourist industry to new or underdeveloped markets.
