The Nunavut Project
Nunavut Territory represents roughly 2,000,000 square kilometers and is larger than any other Canadian province or territory, with about 38,000 inhabitants spread across 25 communities. Given the sheer size, remoteness, and northern latitude of the territory, there are many challenges for new and developing businesses.
Research and Mentoring
Given the sheer size, remoteness, and northern latitude of the territory, there are many challenges for new and developing businesses. The Nunavut Project included two components: research and mentoring. The exploratory qualitative research component focused on understanding marketing communication strategies currently in place, and also how these strategies might be improved for Nunavut businesses.
The second component focused on business mentoring for several young Inuit entrepreneurs, located at Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada. Dr. Jason Little, Professor of Marketing at Franklin Pierce University worked on this project during a two year period, culminating into a magnificent visit during the summer of 2018.
