Research Statement

Lara Moroko explores the connection between marketing and broader corporate strategy, especially inter-relationships between marketing, HR and corporate strategy.  She applies issues of social responsibility and sustainability to corporate brand strategy and product development.  In particular she examines how initiatives in these areas are perceived within organizations and how these perceptions may differ for external stakeholders, such as customers, distributors and investors.
