The Department of Management consists of 17 full-time faculty members with an impressive range of research and teaching expertise in macro- and micro- areas of management. We encourage intellectual discussions that cut across traditional research areas and both expect and support our faculty to actively engage in high quality research that is publishable in top outlets.
