Marjolein Bakker, an alumna of the Full-time MSc in International Management, has recently embarked on a collaboration to publish her thesis as an article. Joining her in this effort are Prof André Nijhof and Dr Henk Kievit, both professors at Nyenrode Business University.

The provocative title of Bakker’s forthcoming article reads: “Can the customer still be king in the era of sustainability?”
