Haas Ph.D. Program

Business & Public Policy

In recent decades, far-reaching changes in the political, technological, economic, and institutional environment have intensified the challenges faced by managers and policymakers throughout the global economy. The restructuring of formerly socialist and newly industrializing economies, along with privatization and deregulation within industrial economies, poses fascinating questions of institutional choice and design, drawing on economics, political science, and organization theory. Technology policies and management strategies in industries such as computer software, multimedia, and biotechnology also need new conceptual frameworks. In these and other industries, the growing importance of complex global networks and inter-firm alliances creates still more opportunities for research and theory building. In short, the current environment in the public and private sectors demands new approaches to research and teaching.
