The doctoral program in strategic management offers comprehensive coursework covering foundational theories in the field. Strategic management examines overarching challenges that organizational leaders face, including market selection, entry and exit strategies, competitive positioning, and the timing and coordination of business initiatives. Key study areas encompass competitive strategy, corporate resource allocation, decision-making processes, global and emerging market approaches, innovation management, entrepreneurial strategy, governance structures, and non-market environmental strategies. This Ph.D. program primarily aims to equip students with advanced research capabilities across these domains, preparing them for faculty positions at leading research universities. Doctoral candidates complete required studies in strategic management, research methodologies, and statistical analysis, along with potential electives in economics, psychology, or political science.
