Research Interests

Juliet Oriaifo is an Assistant Professor at North Carolina A&T State University. She examines how firm operation in the emerging economy context is fundamentally different from the traditionally studied context of developed economies, and why and how market-supporting institutions fail to enable firm survival and growth in the emerging economy context. Furthermore, she studies the strategies that emerging market firms leverage as a means to cope with the lack of market-supporting institutions. In addition to her research on firm strategies in the emerging market context, she researches on how firm strategies in the African context differ from firm strategies of other countries.
