About London Business School PhD Programme overview Placement highlights Subject areas Applying to the PhD Programme Programme management Faculty 2011/12
The Programmes mission is to educate excellent scholars who will be sought after as faculty in leading business schools, universities and research institutions.
Research oriented business schools offer some of the most exciting and well-resourced environments in which to do interdisciplinary social science today. At London Business School, a commitment to training the next generation of business scholars is central to our research activities. Our PhD programme leverages the Schools acclaimed research faculty, and provides generous funding and infrastructural support. Our PhD students work closely with faculty on cutting-edge research that spans a broad range of disciplines and topics. Through rigorous coursework, supervised and joint research work, we bring our students rapidly to the frontiers of knowledge in their chosen subject area. Most graduates of our programme have gone on to take up intellectually and financially rewarding careers with major business schools and research institutes around the world. They are making their mark through scholarship that influences the thoughts and actions of academics, business leaders and policy makers. My colleagues and I look forward to welcoming the best minds to the next generation of business scholarship at London Business School.

The School has three main areas of activity: postgraduate degree programmes (Masters and PhD), Executive Education programmes and innovative, high impact research. It is, however, the students, faculty and staff involved in these activities who give the School its character and vibrancy. Of the over 1,300 degree students studying at the School each year, about 90% are drawn from outside the UK, from over 130 different countries. Similarly, some 84% of the Schools faculty are nonUK citizens. The School is located in the heart of London, with offices and lecture theatres spread between a magnificent 19th century Nash terrace building overlooking Regents Park, and a neighbouring, state-of-theart building. The latter houses the Schools library the best-resourced business library in London and the Fitness Centre, including a 25 metre swimming pool. Why London Business School London Business School research is internationally recognised. The School excelled in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).

Ours is one of the largest business and management PhD Programmes in Europe, attracting high-quality, international participants. Our PhD students receive a thorough and sophisticated training in the latest methods of enquiry, equipping them for productive academic careers. Their training consists of two parts: coursework to give students a grasp of research skills and the existing body of research knowledge in their field; and a closely supervised thesis. The thesis allows students to conduct a substantial piece of original research. Students work within the following seven subject areas:
Accounting Economics Finance Management Science and Operations Marketing Organisational Behaviour Strategy and Entrepreneurship
Typically, a student completes the PhD Programme within four to five years. In the first two years, students complete core and elective courses in their chosen subject and related areas. They then go on to present a thesis proposal with a view to transferring from MPhil to PhD status. After this, students have 18 months to complete a thesis an original contribution to their chosen specialisation. On the successful completion of their thesis, they are awarded a London Business School PhD degree. The Programme only runs on a full-time basis and students are expected to live in London throughout. Profile of recent PhD intakes (2007 to 2011)

Give a man a fish and you have fed him for a day; teach him how to fish and you have fed him for his lifetime. It is an ancient proverb emphasising the importance of being an independent person. I believe the same applies to research. Doing a PhD means that you become an independent researcher who does not just passively absorb knowledge, but who creates new knowledge based on what is already known. I find that the PhD Programme at London Business School helps students with this endeavour by providing both the skills and knowledge necessary to become successful researchers. The rigorous training, combined with close interaction with faculty and friendly, supportive cohorts, will surely make my journey to become a successful scholar both effective and highly enjoyable.

During the first two years, students are normally required to take at least 12 courses. Additional courses may be taken as electives. As well as PhD courses, students can sometimes choose MBA elective courses (depending on availability) and some courses at other colleges within the University of London. In some cases, a students prior experience earns them exemption from particular courses. Most subject areas require students to satisfactorily complete a specialist field exam and a first and/or second year research paper. As part of their training, each PhD student aids faculty with 40 days worth of assistance on research papers, case writing, tutoring and grading. Programme core courses All students

During their third year, students transfer from MPhil to PhD status after successfully presenting and defending their thesis proposal orally to a committee. The committee examines the theory and methodology underlying the research, the areas of application and relevance of the work, and its significance to research in business and management. Thesis A PhD thesis should provide a distinct contribution to the knowledge of the subject and should supply evidence of originality, shown either by the discovery of new facts or by the exercise of independent critical power. In the field of business studies, these requirements demand either original theoretical work or empirical work with primary or secondary data. A worthwhile thesis will offer interesting new insights, but it is expected to go further by underpinning them with scholarship. This ensures that the insights will stand up to the critical scrutiny of experts in the area. Subject area seminars Subject areas run seminars where faculty, research students and visitors present their research. The School attracts internationally renowned speakers and the seminars promote active and lively discussions on contemporary research issues. Students are expected to attend their subject areas research seminars. Trans-Atlantic Doctoral Conference The Schools annual Trans-Atlantic Doctoral Conference invites students from top US and European business schools to present their research. This popular conference, organised since 2001 by the Schools PhD students, attracts about 120 students each year from schools such as Berkeley, Chicago, Columbia, Duke, INSEAD, MIT, Stanford, Wharton, Harvard, Yale, and NYU. Conferences Students are encouraged to present papers at conferences for which financial assistance from the Programme is available. Visiting students PhD students from other institutions may spend up to one year as a visiting student at London Business School. However, these students are only considered when they have been recommended by a London Business School faculty member.
Accepted visiting students pay tuition fees on a prorated basis. Unfortunately, financial aid or office space are not available from the Programme. Courses at other University of London colleges Students can take courses at other University of London colleges, such as University College London (UCL) and London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), depending on local college rules, cost and availability.

Subject areas
The first programme component is an extensive and rigorous curriculum of graduate-level courses providing strong methodological foundations in optimisation, stochastic modelling, statistics, econometrics, microeconomics and game theory. In addition, students participate in research seminars, reading groups, international workshops and conferences, and have the opportunity to engage closely with practice when developing their research. The second programme component is a close mentoring relationship with one or several members of the MSO faculty, a prestigious group of leading academics combining scholarly and practical impact. This relationship involves intense collaborative research work culminating in the writing and defence by students of a doctoral dissertation. Reflecting the widely recognized expertise of the faculty, examples of possible research areas include: pricing and revenue management, supply chain management, health care delivery, information technologies, humanitarian logistics, electricity and energy economics, portfolio management, finance, retail operations, stochastic modelling, optimisation, system dynamics, service operations, decision analysis, simulation, project management, innovation and new product development. London Business Schools faculty expertise, location, and international alumni base offers opportunities for PhD students to delve into challenging problems from across the globe, combining deep academic rigor and practical relevance. Students admitted to this program have a strong analytical background, often holding Bachelors or Masters degrees in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, or economics, and have demonstrated clear potential for a successful academic career.

Students are encouraged to engage in research early in the Programme: my first year supervisor gave me an opportunity to assist in his project starting from my second semester. Not only did I have a chance to learn how things are done and to have hands-on experience, but I was also encouraged to provide my input for the development of the study. The fact that faculty persuade you to submit for publication, even your early works, greatly fosters self-confidence in your ability to produce high-quality research. What I value the most is that they make me feel that they believe in my success!

Subject areas
Current work engages issues such as leadership, top management teams, ethics, cross-cultural dynamics, family firms, HR / careers, negotiations, decision making, and organisational design, considering how these relate to business performance and entrepreneurship. Our work is both theory-driven and close to practice, taking advantage of our position in the heart of London as a leading global centre for business. Faculty in the Organisational Behaviour group are focused on both Micro Organisational Behaviour the study of individual and group behaviour in an organisational context, and Macro Organisational Behaviour the study of how institutional and social forces affect organisations and the people in them. We draw heavily on theory from psychology and sociology, and often publish in discipline-based, as well as management journals. We expect PhD students to take four years to complete the degree, during which they will learn to conduct original empirical research, tutor and teach, and internalise the professional values and traditions of the field.

Subject areas
This interdisciplinary field draws on concepts and theories from economics, sociology and psychology, and addresses a wide variety of topics that have direct or indirect implications for organisational effectiveness. We emphasise real world relevance as a core value. Our students should be committed to conducting rigorous research, but also to addressing questions that have significant implications for firms and markets. Students can specialise in e.g. the following areas:
Competitive strategy Corporate strategy Strategy and organisation Technological change and innovation Entrepreneurship International management Emergence and evolution of markets Structure of market competition
In the first two years, students develop the theoretical knowledge and methodological skills needed to become successful researchers. Compulsory courses include Microeconomics, Basic Readings in Business, Research Design, Strategy Content and Strategy Process. Further requirements depend on the area of specialisation. Student progress is assessed through their coursework, by field examinations at the end of the first and second year, and a compulsory second year research paper and presentation to the department.

Funding All students offered a place on the Programme receive a scholarship covering tuition fees and a stipend for four years, subject to satisfactory academic performance. However, students are expected to apply for alternative support for which they are eligible (e.g. ESRC funding). Living costs and accommodation There is no residential accommodation at the School, but students can apply for accommodation in some of the University of London Halls of Residence. A number of these also have accommodation for couples and families.
How to apply Applications and all accompanying documents should be submitted by 8 January for entry into the Programme in September / October of the same year. Applicants are expected to hold an undergraduate degree in a relevant discipline, with a final grade which places them in the top 10% of their graduating class. Admission to the programme is very competitive. Although it is not a requirement, most incoming students also hold a Masters degree. All applicants must submit a GMAT or GRE score that is no more than five years old. The minimum required score for this varies according to each subject area, although applicants are unlikely to be short-listed for an interview if their score is less than 650 in the GMAT. For the GRE, which we view as an acceptable alternative to the GMAT, we expect quantitative and analytical scores above the 90th percentile. Some subject areas state which test they would prefer applicants to take (see below).

Other recognised English language tests (IELTS, Cambridge) are also accepted. A valid test report (less than two years old) must be submitted to the Programme Office. Short-listed applicants will be invited to an interview in February or March to meet faculty and to see the Schools facilities. It is sometimes possible for candidates who are unable to travel to London to be interviewed by telephone. Regrettably, due to the large number of applications received each year, it is not normally possible to arrange meetings with members of faculty prior to an interview. Applicants should submit
