Contribute scientifically to strategy and entrepreneurship
The PhD programme in Strategy and Entrepreneurship focuses on strategic renewal and firm performance and how the drivers of both can bring about purposeful change within organisations. The four research themes of the Strategy and Entrepreneurship programme are: corporate governance and competitiveness, entrepreneurship, global strategy, and new managerial roles & organisational forms. Although each draws on its own methodological traditions, faculty members necessarily apply a wide range of methods and frequently rely on meta-analysis, event history modelling, fs/QCA, and ethnographic observations.
RSM currently offers the following PhD projects within its S&E research programme at ERIM:
- PhD in Strategic Management & Entrepreneurship
- Addressing the gendered odds of new venture founding and funding
Other fully funded PhD research projects offered by RSM are Business Processes, Logistics and Information Systems (LIS), Organisation (ORG), Marketing (MKT), and Finance & Accounting (F&A). For a list and detailed description of all current RSM PhD Vacancies, please visit the RSM website.
