“Wharton's Management Department offers tremendous breadth — we have forty standing faculty whose interests span the areas of entrepreneurship, human resources, multinational studies, organization behavior, organization theory, and strategy. This breadth allows our students to observe and explore the connections between their existing interests and the research opportunities available with our faculty members. With a total population of approximately 30 students (five or six entering each year), the Management Department offers very favorable faculty-student ratios, ensuring that each doctoral student has substantial access to faculty guidance and collaboration.”
Lori Rosenkopf

Wharton's PhD program in Management is flexible and interdisciplinary, applying social science disciplines and research methods to management problems. It offers specializations in strategy, international business, organizational behavior and theory, and human resource management.
The faculty has a broad range of interests ranging from the behavior of individuals and groups to organizational strategy. Major areas of faculty research currently include: human resources and competitiveness; foreign strategic investments and international cooperative relationships; organizational learning and adaptation; technology adoption, diffusion, and transfer within and across organizations; and new venture formation, growth, and corporate entrepreneurship.
Each student draws on the faculty's diverse expertise and varied interests to develop a program uniquely suited to his or her interests. The program encourages students to gain research experience by working closely with faculty on a variety of projects.
