     Dr. Napier's research focuses on the investigation of multinational firms and their interaction with local economies and their natural environments. The topics she is most interested in are sustainability, corporate social responsibility (CSR), international business ethics, global business strategy, and the ethical internationalization of the firm.
 
     With degrees in Anthropology (BA), International Business  (MA), and Marketing (PhD), she has a unique understanding of what motivates both consumers and firms.
