This might be interesting if you are a scientist, engineer, or entrepreneur who is interested in studying the incentives and systems that govern the creation of new ideas and businesses. Or if you are an economist who is interested in what “innovation”—that thing that supposedly sustains all economic growth—actually looks like in the real world. Or if you are someone who likes math and data and wants to study big questions like what can be done to encourage more investment in “tough tech” sectors like nuclear research, or why efforts at kickstarting new Silicon Valleys have typically failed, or how new AI technologies might shape how research is done.
If you have an undergraduate degree in engineering, science, or in a social science discipline and find the questions above intriguing, the PhD program in Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategy (TIES) at the MIT Sloan School of Management might be for you!
We’re hosting a one-hour webinar on the 21st of October to give you a glimpse into what our PhD program is all about:
- Meet a current PhD student, a recent alum, and faculty members who will share their perspectives;
- Learn about our incredible track record of placing students in faculty positions at top business schools;
- Discover the mentorship opportunities that set our program apart from more traditional PhDs in economics, political science, or sociology.
If you're passionate about technology, entrepreneurship, or strategy—and you’re considering a PhD—this is a perfect opportunity to learn more.
Don’t miss out! This could be the first step toward joining one of the most successful PhD programs in the world. And if you can’t make it, check out our program page here. The deadline for applications is December 1st, 2024. You can apply here.
Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management (TIES) embraces two areas: the organization, development, and commercialization of technology-based innovation in existing firms; and the formation, development, and growth of technology-based new enterprises. Students can integrate these areas in their studies or approach them as distinct elements.
For 40 years, MIT Sloan faculty and their graduate students have distinguished themselves with the breadth and depth of their managerial research and curriculum on all aspects of the management of research, development, technology-based innovation, and technological entrepreneurship. This group also initiated—and now runs—the MIT Entrepreneurship Center. The E-Center, with its extensive multi-disciplinary curriculum and its wide-ranging program of student activities, also sponsors the nation's premier business plan competition, the MIT $100K.
