Businesses in today's globally competitive and rapidly changing technological environment are increasingly resorting to multidisciplinary approaches to problem solving. The Fox School of Business and Management is leading a growing trend in business schools toward interdisciplinary research with its Interdisciplinary Study (IDS) concentration within Business Administration. Outstanding students seeking in-depth preparation spanning multiple functional areas of business or who have expectations for breadth beyond the established programs of study may be interested in the IDS concentration. The faculty members within the IDS program are internationally recognized as stemming from multiple backgrounds in Accounting, Finance, International Business, Information Systems, Marketing, Neuroscience, Statistics, and Strategic Management. Because students in the IDS concentration orient themselves between departments, student identification of a primary mentor is of paramount importance. The mentor's role is to ensure desirable student development as measured by paper presentations at top conferences, publication in relevant academic journals, and, ultimately, placement in research universities. Students from the IDS concentration typically seek mentorship from the most prestigious researchers in the Fox School, and, accordingly, are typically of the highest caliber among our accepted applicant pool.
