PhD COURSES

MGMT 900     Statistics II     
This course will be a continuation of Statistics I. Topics in this course may include, but are not limited to, categorical data analysis, multivariate linear regression, discriminant analysis, canonical correlation, multivariate analysis of variance, principal component analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis, logistic regression, etc. Fall. P. Dacin.

MGMT 901     Ethics in Organization Life     
Corporations are widely thought to have an economic obligation to enhance shareholder value and in doing so they have a wide range of legal obligations to stakeholders both within and outside of the organization. But are there moral obligations as well? If so, what are they and to who are they owed? This is a business ethics course taught from a philosophical perspective. No prior course work in ethics is presumed. It is intended for M.Sc. and Ph.D. students who want to deepen their knowledge of ethical issues in both the profit and not-for-profit sectors. For students pursuing further theoretical or empirical work in the field the course provides a solid theoretical foundation. Ethical theories to be examined include Utilitarianism, Kantian Deontology, human rights and virtue ethics. Building on these frameworks, ethical issues will be explored in areas that can include privacy, discrimination and affirmative action, whistle-blowing, workplace health and safety, advertising, conflict of interest, executive compensation, bribery in international business, corporate social responsibility and corporate governance.  Not offered 2022-23.

MGMT 902     Applied Econometrics in Strategy            
This course examines econometric problems specific to the field of management. Despite the existence of rich theoretical frameworks, intriguing and persistent empirical puzzles have evolved around the strategic choices made by firms and around why seemingly well-devised strategies can fail to create value. Recent methodological advances have allowed scholars to delve deeper into understanding organizational behavior and to better model unobserved or omitted factors that can confound the interpretation of results. This is an applied course examining techniques that are important while modelling choice, performance, and survival in the organizational context. Sessions will typically involve a brief review of selected studies, and overview of the underlying methodologies, and hands-on application exercises. As part of the course, students will also have the opportunity to discuss and advance their own studies. (1.5 credit units).  Not offered 2022-23.   

MGMT 903     Foundations of Multivariate Statistics and the General Linear Model

The emphasis is on the assumptions, limitations and power of the model(s) in the context of applied data analysis.  Not offered 2022-23.

MGMT 904     Strategies for Social Impact     
The goal of this course is to examine management research that investigates the impact of organizations on social issues and social change. Drawing on current developments in strategy and organization theory, the course will cover topics including: social entrepreneurship, social intrapreneurship, measuring social impact, nonprofit organizations, social enterprises and new organizational forms for social impact, scaling and diffusion of social innovations, business and poverty alleviation, corporate philanthropy, among others. (1.5 credit units).  Not offered 2022-23.

MGMT 905     Entrepreneurship and Innovation             
This seminar introduces you to theoretical and empirical literature in the domain of entrepreneurship. Research in entrepreneurship draws on a range of other disciplines. In this course the core discipline most frequently drawn upon in the assigned readings will be sociology (and its sub-domains of economic sociology and institutional theory) followed by economics. Theories drawn from psychology will be much less prominent. Following an introduction to entrepreneurship as a distinct field of research, each week will focus on a different stage of the entrepreneurial life cycle of a firm. Topics may include opportunity recognition, the process of innovation, institutional influences on entrepreneurship, the role that networks and social capital play in the development and growth of firms, corporate entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurial exit. Not offered 2022-23.

MGMT 906     Corporate Strategy Dynamics          
This course examines corporate strategy dynamics, studying how firms scan the environment, gather information, and deal with information asymmetries; how firms perceive, interpret, and respond to environmental threats; and how firms transact under conditions of market failure. These dynamics will be studied in the context of organizational growth, acquisitions, reconfiguration, spatial evolution, strategic alliances, and divestiture. The course is expected to provide opportunities for students to develop and present research ideas in an emerging field. In addition, the course aims to contribute to student research efforts by (i) examining an emerging synthesis of existing theories that has application across domains, including innovation, CSR, governance, strategy process, international business, emerging market strategy, and institutional theory, and (ii) exploring the research process in complex empirical contexts. Not offered 2022-23.

MGMT 907     Contemporary Issues in Strategic Management     
This course provides a comprehensive overview of theoretical models and empirical studies that address the fundamental questions in strategic management research: Why do firms perform differently? Why are firms different? How do firms behave? What are firms’ optimal boundaries? Each class will cover a different research stream within the strategic management field such as resource-based theory, knowledge-based view, behavioral theory of the firm, competitive dynamics, dynamic capabilities, alliance portfolios and networks, top management teams, real options theory and diversification strategy. Both seminal and more recent theoretical and empirical research will be discussed. The aim is to help students develop a mental model of the literature and to recognize interrelationships between different research streams. This course is intended for graduate students interested in conducting research in strategic management or related fields.  Winter.  G. Andrevski.

MGMT 908     Social Network Theory and Methods     
In this course, students are introduced to the social networks perspective for analyzing organizational phenomena. Social networks refer to the structure of relationships among individuals, groups, and organizations. The patterns of relationships influence behavior and performance. For example, favorable positions in the network structure are associated with power and influence, innovation and creativity, leadership effectiveness, organizational learning, innovation adoption, firm survival, and organizational performance. The first half of each class will cover theoretical analysis of network constructs such as small worlds, centrality, cohesion, clusters, and structural equivalence. The second part will include a workshop on social network methods and statistical analysis using UCINET software. The workshop will cover topics such as research design, data collection, data management, network measures, hypotheses testing, and visualization. (1.5 credit units).  Not offered 2022-23.
