At Washington University’s Olin Business School, we study Strategy at both the firm and individual levels, examining how organizations create and capture value, which arises from differing strategies, organizational designs and environmental conditions. While firm performance is observed at the market level, the microfoundations of this performance lie in the behavior and organization of individuals and resources within the firm. The organization of these factors influences performance in innovation, firm structure and human productivity.
We believe that great Strategy doctoral candidates come from a variety of age groups and backgrounds. Their common link is the fundamental drive to impact business practice. Our faculty is also quite diverse, with a variety of undergraduate training including economics, chemistry, engineering and mathematics. And like all faculty members at Olin Business School, every faculty member in the Strategy group is an active researcher.
Few doctoral programs can match Olin’s depth in the areas of organizational economics and the economics of strategy. We strongly promote interdisciplinary and collaborative research among doctoral students and faculty across business disciplines and with other areas and schools at Washington University.
