Call for PhD Applications in Business with a concentration in Management at Bentley University

We invite you to share this opportunity with your master's students considering a PhD in Business with a concentration in Management or a related field.

Bentley University offers PhD programs in both Accountancy and Business (with specializations in Management, Information Systems, Business Analytics, Marketing and other areas), and we are currently accepting applications for our fall 2017 cohort.  We anticipate admitting up to four highly qualified students in the area of Management in our next intake.

The management department is an inclusive community that is very committed to producing high quality research.  The research interests of our faculty include: Diversity and Global Cultures; Entrepreneurship and Innovation; Ethics, Corporate Social Responsibility and Governance; Leadership and Change; Organizational Behavior and Careers; Strategic Management; and Supply Chain and Service Operations Management.   Departmental faculty members have published in top academic journals including Academy of Management Journal, Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, The Journal of Business Venturing, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Academy of Management Learning and Education, Management Science, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Organization Studies, Operations Research, The European Journal of Operational Research, Manufacturing and Service Operations Management, Industrial and Corporate Change, The Journal of World Business, Journal of Management Studies, Human Relations, Long Range Planning, Research Policy, Business and Society, and Business Ethics Quarterly. Our distinguished faculty has received many research and teaching awards from the university and professional organizations.

Doctoral students are assigned a faculty mentor in the area in which they indicate an interest.  Students will work with that faculty member on research projects over the course of the program.  In addition to working with their advisor, doctoral students are able to work with other faculty across the university.  Doctoral students will also be mentored in teaching and will have the opportunity to teach during their program.  A supportive, team-oriented work environment promotes personal development and professional accomplishment.

Bentley is a global leader in business education, located just 9 miles from the heart of Boston.  We are one of only two doctoral programs in the United States located in an institution accredited by both AACSB and EQUIS, and the only doctoral program in the United States who is a member of the European Doctoral Association in Management and Business Education (EDAMBA).  Our graduate and undergraduate programs in business are consistently ranked among the best in the country.

The Bentley PhD program aims to prepare students for tenure-track positions at research-oriented universities. Our PhD program is offered on a full-time basis. We support our students with free tuition and health insurance, plus a generous stipend for the first four years, with a fifth year of funding possible. We also provide students with research and conference travel support.  At Bentley, we care about the success of every student and take a highly personalized approach to doctoral education.  We provide an interdisciplinary understanding of business and in-depth knowledge in a student's chosen field. The PhD in Business includes a full range of methods and analysis courses, including qualitative and quantitative. In line with Bentley's reputation for teaching excellence, students also shadow courses and attend a teaching workshop to prepare them for their future instructional responsibilities.
