The Department of Management provides two doctoral focus areas: organizational behavior & human resources, and strategy. Candidates need to choose one specialization but can attend seminars in both fields, enabling interdisciplinary research opportunities.

Organizational Behavior & Human Resources
Scholars in the organizational behavior & human resources concentration investigate diverse subjects such as leadership, workplace culture, employee well-being, emotions, innovation, job satisfaction, negotiation dynamics, gender studies, onboarding processes, and social relationships. These researchers produce significant theoretical and practical work that influences both academic discourse and real-world organizational practices. Their findings appear in top-tier publications like Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, Organizational Science, and Administrative Science Quarterly.
Strategy
Strategy specialization faculty examine various aspects including competitive dynamics, corporate strategy, innovation processes, organizational learning, decision-making patterns, corporate identity, reward systems, and governance structures. These experts generate impactful research that bridges theory and practice, with their work featured in leading journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, and Organizational Behavior and Human Development Processes.
