Georgiana Grigore
Georgiana Grigore is an Associate Professor in Marketing at the School of Business, University of Leicester. Georgiana's research has focused on the intersections between corporate social responsibility and marketing, including changes that result from digital media. Based on funded grants from the British Academy and from the Arthur Page Centre, and drawing from sociological and psychological theory, she has also examined the experiences of those working in responsibility roles in different European cultures, noting how their lived experiences impact on how corporate social responsibility gets done, or otherwise.
Her recent interests include the impact of Covid on consumer culture and particularly how our reflections (in the UK) on experiences of lockdown have resulted in people questioning their work and spend lifestyles. She is also currently involved with a project to establish marketing strategies for a UK National Conservation Centre. In 2012, she co-founded an annual international conference in Social Responsibility, Ethics and Sustainable Business that has built a network of CSR researchers and practitioners across Europe and beyond. She has published edited collection book series, and journal articles including in Journal of Business Ethics, Marketing Theory, Organization, Journal of Business Research, Journal of Marketing Management, or Internet Research.
