Research Expertise and Interests
Maintaining a fundamental interest in business-to-business and industrial strategy, Professor Nicholson's conceptual interests include a focus on the local-international link and the interplay between core and peripheral areas.
More recently, he has found a specific interest in the overlaps between economic geography, international business and industrial marketing. Professor Nicholson's research pursues the topics of developing economy contexts such as Vietnam, Pakistan, Nigeria China, Libya and Egypt.
His more recent work focuses on the process of internationalisation, particularly of SMEs, though he has not ceased to take interest in foreign investors in emerging markets. In a thread of evolving work, Professor Nicholson is also investigating recombinant innovation in peripheral areas.
