ON THE QUESTION OF ACADEMIA AFTER APPLIED WORK. I SPENT ALMOST 10
YEARS DOING APPLIED ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT WORK IN WEST AFRICA
SPECIALLY IN ECOLOGICAL AND AGRICULTURAL AND ECONOMIC AREAS. I THEN
ENTERED ACADEMIA IN APPLIED ANTHROPOLOGY AND THEN JUMPED AREAS AND
JOINED A MARKETING FACULTY IN A BUSINESS SCHOOL BECAUSE OF MY
INTERESTS IN COMPARATIVE MARKETING SYSTEMS AND THE GLOBALIZATION OF
CONSUMER CULTURE. IT CAN HAPPEN. EJA
