Doctor of Philosophy in Management - Operations, Technology and Information Management

Operations, technology, and information management (OTIM) emphasizes data-driven, behavioral, and mathematical methods of analysis to address high-impact managerial decision problems. Johnson OTIM faculty have deep expertise in a wide range of application areas, such as global supply chains, retail networks, online marketplaces, healthcare providers, e-commerce operations, sustainability, hospitality operations, and information systems, as well as in conducting practice-based and inter-disciplinary research that is published in top-tier journals. Our PhD students receive their methodological training through a wide range of courses taught by the OTIM faculty. Additionally, students take advantage of the research excellence of Cornell University by taking graduate and doctoral courses in Operations Research and Information Engineering (ORIE), School of Computing and Information Sciences (CIS), Economics, and other areas, depending on their research interests. Students can also take courses in other business disciplines, such as asset pricing, empirical finance, and consumer behavior. These cross-disciplinary interactions enable our students to develop methodological rigor, expand their ideas, and become a part of a large network of Cornell researchers.
