    • Introduction
    To be successful in a changing global economy, managers must view the total enterprise and understand the forces shaping the firm's direction, policies, and goals and at the same time exercise personal leadership in managing employees. Wharton's Management Department applies basic social science disciplines and research methods to these management and leadership problems in the public and private sectors.

    The Management Department encompasses four major areas of specialization:

    • Strategic Management emphasizes forecasting, planning and control, allocating resources, the appraisal of competition, and implementation strategies.
    • Multinational Management focuses on operating in worldwide and heterogeneous national environments under conditions of economic and political risk.
    • Human Resource and Organizational Management explores individual and group behavior and how these dynamics influence an organization's performance and structure.
    • Entrepreneurial Management provides individuals with skills, analytical tools, and concepts to prepare them for a career as an autonomous entrepreneur, a family-business owner, or an innovator in new corporate ventures.

    Research
    The department's current research topics and activities focus on such areas as:

    • Cultural bridging and managerial incentives in competitiveness
    • Foreign strategic investments and international cooperative relationships
    • The impact of culture on leadership
    • Determinants of new technology adoption
    • Rates of innovation in different societies
    The Management Department has four research centers closely associated with its activities:

    Academic Programs
    The department offers concentrations in management with a specialization in its component disciplines at three levels:

    Students are also able to pursue interdisciplinary programs of study. Management faculty have been closely involved with the design and implementation of Wharton's new MBA curriculum.

    Academic concentrations and majors in entrepreneurship are managed by the Goergen Entrepreneurial Management Program.
