The department faculty members work primarily in the research areas of strategy, organization theory, entrepreneurship, innovation, and international business, from a variety of theoretical and empirical methodological perspectives.

Tilburg University is one of Europe's leading universities in the fields of economics and management – it regularly ranks among Europe's top 3 by research productivity. Tilburg is a pleasant city located in the Southern Netherlands, within one of Europe's foremost high-tech regions and equidistant from Amsterdam (Netherlands), Brussels (Belgium) and the Dusseldorf/Cologne area (Germany).
The RM/PhD program consists of two phases: the two years RM, which is equivalent to the course stage in US universities' PhD programs, consists of taking courses, developing analytical, methodological skills, and writing a thesis; and three years PhD phase in which the students work on their research project. The RM/PhD students are taught by the department's leading researchers in small, highly interactive context taking a variety of content and method courses aimed at providing them with the necessary skills and knowledge for conducting high level research. Through the attendance of departmental seminars, participation in departmental events and close interaction and mentoring by faculty members, the students are encouraged to integrate into the department.
Our graduates have obtained academic positions in leading US, European, and Asian universities (e.g., Texas A&M, Singapore Management University) as well as consulting, and non-academic research jobs.
