Dr Felix Martin is an active researcher with a growing record of publications, and a research agenda that focuses on the key areas of International Marketing, Marketing Ethics and Sustainability. Dr Felix has published journal articles, book chapters, and peer-reviewed conference papers, including single-authored articles in the Journal of Business Ethics (FT50 ranked). He leads the third year Marketing module on Global Marketing Management in which he has reflected on his extensive travel experiences for work and education, including lengthy stays in Kenya. These interests led him to search opportunities for cross-cultural engagement by working with foreign NGOs leading him to establish a constructive partnership with Institute de Management et Services (« IMS ») in Lebanon, which was the subject of the study partly funded by the Pentland Centre. IMS is an educational institute tasked with improving the lives of women in Lebanon.
