Doctor's degree Organizations & Strategy - The University of Tennessee

Doctor's degree Organizations & Strategy from The University of Tennessee is a Campus Ph.D Management degree that prepares you for a Business career. The Ph.D. Program in Organizations & Strategy trains doctoral students for careers as researchers and teachers at major research universities. This concentration involves the study of organizations, from the perspective of the general manager and focuses on the set of decisions and actions that define what an organization is and what it seeks to become in the context of the larger social and economic environment. Drawing on the organization science and strategic management literatures, coursework in this program examines the internal organization (strategy, processes, structure and behaviors), its overall performance, and its relationship with external environments. Course requirements include Ph.D. seminars that cover research concerning organizational theory, macro organizational behavior, overview of strategic management, managing the strategic process, and contemporary and global issues in strategic management . In addition, each student completes a set of research methods courses as well as courses in an outside but complementary support area. Ph.D. students at the University of Tennessee collaborate closely with our faculty on research projects, regular research colloquia, and activities associated with the Academy of Management meetings. We typically accept 2 to 3 students for each cohort. Our expectation is that students will complete the program and secure a job within four years. Admitted students receive full financial support, which includes a tuition waiver and assistantship to help cover living expenses for four years. Though an MBA is not a prerequisite, it is recommended. Students without an MBA degree will be required to take some background courses (accounting, finance, marketing, economics, management), depending on their previous coursework and experiences.
