International Business

The Fisher College is endowed with a faculty whose scholarly performance enables its programs to be consistently ranked among the leading national research institutions. The international business faculty conducts research on such diverse topics such as global strategy, international strategic alliances, corporate governance, international risk and cultural attributes. These topics are examined in the context of a variety of emerging markets and developed economies in Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Europe. The College has been federally designated as a Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER).

The high quality of the nationally and internationally recognized faculty and associated research programs establishes a superior environment for training Ph.D. students to develop new knowledge and disseminate it to the academic community and into business practice. The objectives of the Ph.D. program are to prepare students of exceptional promise to contribute to the progress and understanding of the field of international business. To this end, in addition to coursework, students will participate in a variety of research and teaching related activities throughout their study.

Students will be expected to identify a research interest relatively early in the program, and to take initiative (along with the guidance of the faculty) in developing a course of study related to this interest. The program also provides a thorough background for the application of administrative science in non-academic settings.
