Yes. This programme has two tracks.

  • Track 1: Social and Behavioural Sciences. This track is aimed mainly at students who seek to build a career in strategy, organisational behaviour, entrepreneurship or business ethics, but is also open to students with other interests. Students from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds (e.g. economics or sociology) are welcome to apply.

    The track has a strong general management orientation, and students graduating from it are expected to publish in top management outlets such as the Academy of Management Journal, Administrative Science Quarterly, Management Science, Organisation Science, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, or Strategic Management Journal, among others.
     
  • Track 2: Management Sciences. This track is aimed mainly at students who are seeking to build a career in accounting, finance, marketing, decision science, managerial economics or operations, but is also open to students with other interests.

    This track has a more quantitative orientation, attracting students who feel comfortable with quantitative analyses, and offering them strong training, for example, in analytical modelling and empirical analysis. Students graduating from this track are expected to publish in top disciplinary outlets such as the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics, Marketing Science, Journal of Marketing, Management Science, or MIS Quarterly, among others.

    During the first two years, students take a range of required courses, advanced and specialised courses and seminars, followed by a field examination and the development of an empirical research paper.
