Jointly administered by HBS and GSAS, the program has four areas of study: <a href="/doctoral/phd-programs/accounting-management/Pages/default.aspx">Accounting and Management</a>, <a href="/doctoral/phd-programs/marketing/Pages/default.aspx">Marketing</a>, <a href="/doctoral/phd-programs/strategy/Pages/default.aspx">Strategy</a>, and <a href="/doctoral/phd-programs/technology-operations-management/Pages/default.aspx">Technology and Operations Management</a>. All areas of study involve roughly two years of coursework culminating in a field exam. The remaining years of the program are spent conducting independent research, working on co-authored publications, and writing the dissertation. Students join these programs from a wide range of backgrounds, from consulting to engineering. Many applicants possess liberal arts degrees, as there is not a requirement to possess a business degree before joining the program</p> <p><strong><a href="/doctoral/phd-programs/business-economics/Pages/default.aspx">The PhD in Business Economics</a></strong> provides students the opportunity to study in both Harvard’s world-class Economics Department and Harvard Business School. Throughout the program, coursework includes exploration of microeconomic theory, macroeconomic theory, probability and statistics, and econometrics. While some students join the Business Economics program directly from an undergraduate or master's program, others have worked in economic consulting firms or as research assistants at universities or intergovernmental organizations.</p> <p><strong><a href="/doctoral/phd-programs/health-policy/Pages/default.aspx">The PhD program in Health Policy (Management)</a></strong> is rooted in data-driven research on the managerial, operational, and strategic issues facing a wide range of organizations. Coursework includes the study of microeconomic theory, management, research methods, and statistics. The backgrounds of students in this program are quite varied, with some coming from public health or the healthcare industry, while others arrive at the program with a background in disciplinary research</p> <p><strong><a href="/doctoral/phd-programs/organizational-behavior/Pages/default.aspx">The PhD program in Organizational Behavior</a></strong> offers two tracks: either a micro or macro approach. In the micro track, students focus on the study of interpersonal relationships within organizations and the effects that groups have on individuals. Students in the macro track use sociological methods to examine organizations, groups, and markets as a whole, including topics such as the influence of individuals on organizational change, or the relationship between social missions and financial objectives. Jointly administered by HBS and GSAS, the program includes core disciplinary training in sociology or psychology, as well as additional coursework in organizational behavior.</p> </div> </div> <div class="shim35"></div> </div> </div> <div> <div class="shim1 mobile-hidden" style="margin-top:40px;margin-bottom:39px;"></div> <div class="shim1 tablet-hidden desktop-hidden" style="margin-top:23px;margin-bottom:22px;"></div> </div> <div class=" "> <div class="container mobile-container tablet-container"> <div class="text-feature" id=""> <div class=""> <div class=""> <div class="row tablet-row mobile-row" style="position:relative;"> <div class="span10 tablet-span9"> <div class="section-header-wrapper " data-wcm-edit-url=""> <h2 class="section-header delta regular inherit-dark-color transition " data-abbreviated="" data-original="Accounting & Management"><a href="/doctoral/phd-programs/accounting-management/Pages/default.aspx" style="text-decoration:none; display:block;" class="no-append no-pdf-hover inherit-dark-color">Accounting & Management<span style="white-space:nowrap;"><span> </span><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" width="0.5625em" height="0.65625em" viewBox="0 0 21 18" version="1.1" focusable="false"> <g transform="translate(51 66)"> <path d="M 19.1 0L 0 0L 0 2L 19.1 2L 19.1 0Z" transform="translate(-51 -58.1)" fill="currentColor"/> <path d="M 1.39999 17.8L 0 16.4L 7.5 8.9L 0 1.4L 1.39999 6.10352e-06L 10.4 8.9L 1.39999 17.8Z" transform="translate(-40.5 -66)" fill="currentColor"/> </g></svg></span></a></h2> <div class="hr inherit-dark-bg " style="margin-bottom:24px; width:180px; opacity:1; margin-top:8px; "></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row tablet-row mobile-row"> <div class="span9 tablet-span11"> <div class="shim7"></div> <div class="eta light indent body add-underline" style="margin-bottom: -0.30em; margin-top: -6px">Accounting scholars study how information affects resource allocation with and across firms, the behavior of shareholders, regulators, customers, and suppliers, and the process by which information is disclosed.

Research provides insights into how companies serve customers and approaches for measuring the impact of marketing efforts. Marketing PhDs are separated into two broad sub-fields: quantitative marketing and consumer behavior. Theoretical modeling within quantitative marketing borrows from computer science, microeconomics, and statistics to offer guidelines for a firm’s marketing strategies.
