Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Strategic Management at Georgia Tech

The Strategic Management area at Georgia Tech's College of Management (COM)seeks Qualified Applicants for their Ph.D. program

Have you ever thought about getting a Ph.D.? A doctoral degree qualifies you to pursue an academic career as a researcher and educator. An academic career provides not only tremendous intellectual freedom, but makes it possible to work with bright people throughout your life.

You really can make a difference through the scholarly research you create, and the lives you shape through your teaching. The life style is great, and the pay is good! Frequently, Ph.D. graduates' starting salary range from $100K to $150K, depending on placement, which is largely determined by performance in the doctoral program. Moreover, the job market for Strategy Ph.D.s has been strong, and in recent years more positions have been available than candidates pursuing jobs. Thus, it is
not surprising that the position of a university professor is frequently ranked as one of the most desirable jobs in the world.

Why in Strategic Management? As the integrative discipline in business management, strategy is both interesting and fun. The unifying element of strategy research is driven by answering the question of why do some firms outperform their competitors? To answer this critical question, researchers draw on different disciplines, such as economics and sociology, to study the critical roles that managers, technologies, and
business relationships play in determining why some companies do better than others.

Why at Georgia Tech? GT’s Ph.D. program is strongly research oriented, and emphasizes the early involvement of our students in research projects with world-wide leading faculty. The Ph.D. program places significant weight on learning outside the classroom. Given the small size
of the program, the tutorial-mentor model is the primary educational approach employed. Thus, doctoral students experience significant attention and support by a diverse set of world-class faculty.

At Georgia Tech, the study of strategic management is
interdisciplinary and integrative; providing focus in the areas of technology and innovation management, entrepreneurship, and international management. The
Strategic Management area represents a strong community of active researchers pursuing a wide variety of interests.
