The globalization and growing interdependence of national economies is an established fact. Students in the international business major study the interface between the competitive advantages of countries, the role of national governments and supranational organizations, and the strategies of international firms.
Fall 2006 and every second fall thereafter.This course provides a critical overview of the major theoretical approaches in the international business literature. These strands of analysis can be grouped under the five headings of the market power, internalization, eclectic paradigm, competitive international industry and macroeconomic approaches. We examine both the differences and the scope for complementarities between these alternative means of thinking about international business. Drawing upon this analytical background, the course then reviews the key areas of recent research focus. These crucial new research issues include the role of location in international business, the strategy and organization of multinational corporations, subsidiary level development, cross-border alliances and international mergers and acquisitions. The course concludes with an assessment of the role of methodological design and prospective new directions in international business research
Fall 2007 and every second fall thereafter.This course examines the history of international business, with a particular focus upon the context and determinants of the growth over the last 150 years of the largest multinational corporations (MNCs).
Spring 2006 and every second spring thereafter.This course shows how the multinational firm depends critically on its technological and related skills to achieve its central strategic objectives. Introductory classes consider the determinants and characteristics of corporate technological change, and the linkages between science and technology, and the consequences of their geographical localization for international business. Then we assess the contention that corporate strategy should include a strategy for managing innovation, the purpose of which is deliberately to accumulate and exploit firm-specific knowledge. The course examines the implications of technological change as a learning process, for inter-company technology-based alliances, for international technology transfer, and for capturing the returns to innovation in the multinational firm. The innovative records of large and small firms are compared. The use of corporate patent statistics is appraised as a means of measuring patterns of innovation at the firm level. The course concludes with a discussion of systems of innovation, and of technology policies.
Spring 2006 and Fall 2006, and every second spring and fall thereafter. This course does not satisfy major requirements in International Business, or minor requirements in Organization Management.This course offers a global perspective on long term change in the world economy, and the interaction between countries, regulatory systems and business firms. Attention is especially focused on the dynamics of international trade and investment, including the relationship between trade and economic growth, trade imbalances and protectionism, and the impact of technological innovation on international competitiveness. The role of economic and political institutions is also a central feature of our discussion, including the international trading and financial systems, national systems of innovation and political economy, and the interaction between multinational companies and both the state and multilateral institutions. The course also looks at the possibility of long waves in the world economy, and examines a variety of alternative perspectives on the origins and processes of globalization.
In an international economy driven by accelerating change, the business world needs cutting-edge scholarship that probes the complexity of the marketplace and gives practitioners, policymakers and thinkers evidence-based tools and strategies to transform our models for managing, leading, innovating and succeeding.
The PhD program at the Robert H. Smith School of Business is a collaborative, research-oriented community of scholars with the breadth of business knowledge to help launch your career as an academic leader. We inspire contributions to the discovery and dissemination of scientific knowledge through careers in research and teaching at top universities around the world. Students benefit from a diverse, world-class experience, and collaborate with faculty on relevant, groundbreaking research long after graduation. On average, students typically complete this full-time program in five years, spending two years on coursework and three years on their dissertation, working papers and other requirements.
The Department is home to the Centre for International Business at the University of Leeds (CIBUL), which is one of the largest international business expert groups in the UK and a pioneer research-led institute globally. Our faculty includes two former presidents of the Academy of International Business (AIB), two AIB Fellows, two European International Business Academy (EIBA) Fellows and current Chairs of the AIB Doctoral Consortium and EIBA/EIASM Danny Van Den Bulcke Doctoral Symposium, who are all actively engaged in doctoral supervision and training.
Our doctoral students are an integral part of our research environment and make significant contributions to published research. Our postgraduate researchers have won (or have been finalists of) a number of major international prizes, including the Gunnar Hedlund Prize, the Michael Z. Brooke Prize, the Academy of Management Outstanding Dissertation Award and the Peter J. Buckley and Mark Casson Outstanding Dissertation Award.
Our alumni have undertaken a variety of international and high profile academic (including HEC Montreal, University of Melbourne, University of Liverpool) and non-academic careers (including McKinsey, Amazon, Santander, Raleigh International, Garmin).
At its heart, our PhD program is focused on research that matters. As one of our students, you have a unique opportunity to work one-on-one with our award-winning faculty. Our small size means that you will be one of a select few working closely with your professors and peers to publish high-quality research and make a difference in the theory and practice of international business.
Our integrative, yet highly specialized program emphasizes strategy, organizational behavior and sustainability within the context of international business. We focus on preparing our PhD students for high achievement in the academic setting.

Manning School of Business at University of Massachusetts Lowell offers a Ph.D. degree in Business Administration. The Ph.D. program is designed for highly qualified students who are committed to scholarly research and teaching, and are motivated to pursue an academic career at business schools. The program also appeals to working professionals who aspire to an advanced degree to enhance their credentials in their current or future industry role or for entrance to academic.
The program focuses specifically on the development of relevant, interdisciplinary research skills applied to current and future business problems and challenges. Students in each of the concentrations will study the theoretical framework of their functional area with the option of exploring timely, related interdisciplinary areas. They will master traditional academic research methodologies appropriate to their respective fields, grounded in current industry trends and issues and will understand the benefits of advancing knowledge while recognizing the practical application of that knowledge in advancing economic and regional development locally, nationally and internationally. Graduates will be prepared for academic careers, research careers and upper level executive positions in both public and private companies.
If an international transcript does not adequately demonstrate that an applicant has the equivalent of an American bachelor's or master's degree, the applicant must obtain such verification by an independent service such as the Center for Educational Documentation, Boston, MA (617-338-7171). In addition, international students are expected to at least meet the minimum UMass Lowell TOEFL requirements and must submit an official score report.
The accounting concentration will concentrate on relevant bodies of knowledge, such as financial accounting, managerial accounting, auditing and taxation. The curriculum is designed to develop a high level of student technical and research competence in a specifically defined program area of business. Strong attention will be paid to linking accounting research with accounting practice, specifically guidance relative to best and evolving practices in the accounting field.
The international business concentration will prepare scholars who have interest in the theory, research and practice of management with a cross-border or cross-cultural dimension. Given the trend of globalization and the importance of emerging economies, international business has become one of the fastest-growing area of interest by both academic researchers and practitioners. 59ce067264
