Neeru Paharia. John Dorr. DCPS.
Marketing Professor Explores the Benefits of Being the Little Guy Stanton Distinguished Leaders Series: John Dorr DCPS Educators Complete Nine-Month Program
In the study forthcoming in The Journal of Marketing Research, “Positioning Brands Against Large Competitors,” Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business Assistant Professor Neeru Paharia and her co-authors explore the effects of a small brand having a large, dominant competitor – highlighting the conditions under which focusing on a competitive threat, rather than hiding it, can actually help a small business. The Stanton Distinguished Leaders Series will continue on Friday, September 26, with legendary venture capitalist and technology visionary John Doerr at 3 p.m. in Lohrfink Auditorium.

On September 6, 10 District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) assistant principals and educators completed the nine-month Aspiring Principals Program, a Georgetown McDonough customized executive education program that is part of the Mary Jane Patterson Fellowship for high-performing DCPS employees who want to become principals.
