Ann E. Fairhurst, Ph.D.
Professor
I am interested in international aspects of the retail environment. I have conducted research examining the internationalization process of retail firms. I am also exploring consumer issues in international markets, specifically ethnocentrism, and their impact on the retail environment. In addition, I am studying effective leadership in global retail environments. My research interests also relate to tourism retailing and tourists' shopping behavior.
