Phd overview.
The Doctoral Program in Management builds on the strengths of the department’s faculty and offers its students a broad-based education in the field of Management provided by one of the leading management faculties in the world. It has traditionally offered its students the opportunity to specialize in one of three sub-specializations within Management: Organizational Behavior, Organization Theory, and Strategy. The programs seeks to help its students acquire the necessary background knowledge to become independent researchers and scholars in the field of management. The program encourages students to take an interdisciplinary approach to research if they so desire. Our program offers several advantages over competing schools:
Academic experience, student life.
When you study at the undergraduate level, you are introduced to a field and gradually become aware of its unexpected nuances and complexities. At the doctoral level, you acquire an intellectual framework that allows you to embrace and accommodate that complexity as you strive to make sense of the world. As you progress, your novel insights help others make sense of the world as well. When that occurs, you are contributing to knowledge. Doctoral study is rigorous and immersive—but it is rewarding.
In the Kellogg PhD program, you will master an academic discipline—economics, psychology, sociology, operations research, or data science—and apply that mastery to real world problems facing managers and policy makers. This discipline-based approach prepares you to challenge conventional wisdom with new ideas, models, and empirical findings that have enduring impact on businesses, organizations, and communities. After leaving Kellogg, you can look forward to a career leading and inspiring others through teaching and research.
Collaborative, supportive research environment, the kellogg difference.
The columbia advantage.
Management Doctoral students are trained to apply basic social science knowledge and research methods to the study of organizations, their members, and their environment. The program prepares students for careers in scholarly research, and graduates take jobs primarily in academic or research institutions across the world. Details about the coursework and research students conduct on their way to earning their doctorate can be found on the Academics page.
The Management Division at Columbia Business school has a track record of training scholars who go on to become academics at many of the world’s most prestigious institutions. Our placement success is due in part to the close working relationship that students develop with the faculty in the division. The School intentionally keeps the PhD program small making it easier for students to find faculty collaborators and thrive. See further down the page for our Placement information.
The Columbia Business School doctoral community consists of 125 students across six programs. The program attracts exceptional students from all over the world who are looking to develop research skills under the tutelage of faculty experts. Students come to the School for the exceptional training but also because they value the diversity, creativity, entrepreneurship and social tolerance that NYC offers.

The Department of Management and Entrepreneurship brings together cutting-edge scientific thought leadership across various areas related to strategic leadership, organisational management, and innovation processes. Our focus extends to entrepreneurship, digitalisation, sustainability, and knowledge management, creating a dynamic environment for scholarly exploration and educational excellence. Our scholarship and educational activities encompass a comprehensive range of analyses, spanning from individual traits and group dynamics to the broader organisational and ecosystem levels.
This is perhaps best represented in our fully-funded MRes/PhD programme, which provides students two years of training in key theoretical and methodological topics followed by three to four years to develop cutting-edge research with supervision by our research faculty. We welcome doctoral applicants from a wide variety of academic disciplines who are united by a desire to conduct innovative research. You may also be co-supervised by faculty in other departments in the School, depending on your research interests.
We understand that the emergence of new technologies and unprecedented global challenges, encompassing environmental, social, and health crises, necessitate the pursuit of innovative approaches to business. Our esteemed faculty delve into a myriad of research questions, including but not limited to exploring the profound implications of personal and group dynamics on organisational well-being and success, driving transformational change and fostering social impact through innovation, redesigning companies for stakeholder-driven value creation, crafting go-to-market strategies for scientific and social innovations, and establishing and nurturing entrepreneurial ecosystems.
The Business School is home to several research centres and institutes, offering a diverse range of activities that bring together academics and specialists.
The Centre for Digital Transformation helps businesses understand the far-reaching organisational implications of the digital revolution. From artificial intelligence (AI) to the Internet of Things to blockchain, the Centre’s work focuses on new and emerging digital technologies, and how they can be leveraged to meet both business and social objectives.
Using evidence-based research to create a focus on generating meaningful change in businesses and organisations.
Linking innovation and entrepreneurship in companies and institutions globally, through thought leadership, research, technology and next-generation innovation models.
Creating new empirical evidence on the impact of design thinking on business and the relationship between business, technology and data.
Exploring and experimenting with new ways of doing business to regenerate economies, communities, and natural environments around the world.
Innovation & entrepreneurship.
Faculty and students in the field undertake research into the innovation and entrepreneurship process, from identifying pockets of original knowledge in the search for ideas, to the diffusion and entrepreneurial exploitation of new products, processes, and services. Faculty members are particularly interested in the core themes of spotting and leveraging entrepreneurial opportunities; managing the innovation process; building and operating entrepreneurial ecosystems; the role of networks in innovation and entrepreneurship; the impact of corporate entrepreneurship on organisational innovation; and commercialising science innovations.
Researchers in this area are considering a variety of questions on what constitutes effective organisations across a range of different contexts. Some of these questions include understanding the link between senior managerial style and firm strategy, and the effect of team selection processes on success, how organisational contexts affect how we construe, and therefore facilitate, morally problematic behaviour and how business organisations learn to grow and adapt to environmental turbulence.
PhD students on the Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) scholarship will undertake 150 hours of teaching assistant duties from year three of the programme. There will be opportunities for PhD students to engage in teaching activities within the Business School’s programmes such as MSc in Management, MSc Economics & Strategy for Businesses, MSc Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Management as well as on our MBA.
