PhD in Management
The doctoral program in management has two primary objectives:
- Prepare students to conduct high-quality research relevant to private or public organizations, to direct research by others, and to communicate research findings through teaching and writing
- Prepare students for the varied responsibilities and opportunities of careers in research and teaching or for positions requiring similar research and analytical skills.
This program also offers the opportunity to specialize in one of the following areas:
Business and Public Policy focuses on the relationships between the corporation and its political, economic and social environments. Study in this area includes the legal and regulatory environment of business as well as social responsibility issues.
Human Resource Management specialization includes such traditional HR topics as recruitment, selection, staffing, and performance appraisal. In addition the strategic process by which HR programs are developed, adopted, implemented, and evaluated is explored.
Organizational Behavior/Organization Theory focuses on the study of human behavior in complex social systems (organizations). Topics explored include individual differences, motivation, leadership, group dynamics, decision making, political behavior, and organization design.
Strategic Management focuses on the roles and problems of top management teams and strategy formulation and implementation, as well as strategic processes such as decision making, resource allocation, and the creation and management of new businesses.
Our management faculty is a distinguished body of teachers and scholars, extensively published and nationally recognized for their accomplishments. A number of them hold leadership positions in professional organizations and serve on editorial boards.
