Olin’s Strategy faculty members are dedicated to delivering a program that prepares doctoral students for productive and meaningful careers. In addition to rigorous coursework, you’ll work closely with faculty from the very beginning of the program. This collaborative approach helps you gain practical experience in the design and execution of research projects and in the communication of research findings.
Recent research projects have examined:
- How teams of experts learn and develop new innovations
- Performance benefits of team production
- How leaders gain the trust of their subordinates, and how they can rebuild it once it has been lost
- Performance impacts of organizational design choices
- Research and development pipelines in the pharmaceutical industry
- Changing nature of the employment contract
- Methods of negotiation and conflict resolution
Please feel free to contact any faculty member in Strategy with questions you may have about the program.
