Strategy Vienna

Chair Professor Reitzig

PhD in Management and Strategic Management Specialization

The PhD Program in Management is modeled after those of leading U.S. business schools, and it is designed to prepare candidates for a successful career in international academe. The PhD specialization in Strategic Management focuses on understanding why and how organizations differ in their decision-making behavior, and how this translates into design and performance differences

Below, find information on the different aspects of the PhD program in Management and the Strategic Management Specialization.

Course work

Students admitted to the program will receive extensive postgraduate training (for about three to four semesters) prior to embarking on their thesis research. The course curriculum cuts across all those disciplines that we deem relevant to our field, and it consists of two main parts: the core programme, and the elective programme. You can find more information about those on the general PhD Management website (s. the links below). If you would like to specialise in Strategy and Organizational Design, you can find an overview on the content regularly offered by our department.

The Curriculum

To graduate from the PhD Management programme, the current curriculum mandates the completion of courses amounting to overall 30 ECTS. The courses to be completed are to be fixed in the "Doctoral thesis agreement" for the PhD Management programme in accordance with this regulation.

The programme has been organized/split into two different sections: the Core Programme and the Elective Programme . Each is comprised of 15 ECTS.

You can download the curriculum for your convenience: German or English

The Core Programme

To complete the Core Programme one may choose three of either of the following courses (each valued at 5 ECTS):

Courses Core Programme

• Philosophy of Science
• Experimental and Simulation Methods
• Management Decision Making
• Management Control
• Advanced Microeconomics
• Multivariate Business Statistics
• Structural Equation Modeling
• Econometrics
• Advanced Regression Analysis

The Elective Programme

To complete the Elective Programme it is necessary to complete at least three courses, and thus also must amount to a minimum of 15 ECTS. Courses may be chosen from the following list of courses offered by the faculty, in accordance to the current offers available, which may vary from semester to semester. Furthermore it is also possible to choose courses from related PhD-programmes at the University of Vienna or other universities at a maximum of 15 ECTS, if they are relevant to the planned dissertation. To do the latter it is obligatory to obtain the approval of both the supervisor and the DSPL by way of the doctoral thesis agreement.

The local faculty will offer the following courses for the PhD Management programme, each of which is valued at 5 ECTS:

Courses Elective Programme

• Topics in Controlling and Financial Accounting 1
• Topics in Marketing and International Marketing 1
• Topics in Human Resources and Organizations 1
• Topics in Strategy and Innovation 1

College of Agriculture & Natural Resources Department of Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences

Phd candidate alexandra peña hernández successfully defended her thesis.

Dept of Plant Soil and Microbial Sciences - August 25, 2024

“Integrated strategies for improved management of cercospora leaf spot on sugarbeet,” working with lead advisor Jaime Wilbur and the MSU Sugarbeet and Potato Research Unit.

PhD candidate Alexandra Peña Hernández  successfully defended her thesis: “ Integrated strategies for improved management of Cercospora leaf spot on sugarbeet,” working with lead advisor Jaime Wilbur and the MSU Sugarbeet and Potato Research Unit .

Faculty, students and staff packed the room while Alex described her process of science and discovery—including many hours driving, working in the field, and a low-key flame thrower , which was attached to a tractor and drove over the crops to test the effects of extreme heat on sugarbeet leaf spot overwintering. “This project was a lot of work, Alex says, “but I have a great team and we all help each other.”

Alex came to PSM after getting her bachelor’s degree in biosystem and agricultural engineering in the College of Engineering here at MSU. “I had met Jaime during a senior design research experience and did an internship with an agronomy company” Alex said. “And that really helped me decide to go to graduate school.” Alex is Jaime Wilbur’s first PhD student to graduate since starting with PSM in 2018.

Alex, who started with an eye on a master’s degree in fall 2019, quickly made the transition to the PhD program. Alex’s plans include finishing up her project, getting married in October, and eventually working in industry or with the USDA. “It’s been such an amazing experience to work with this team,” Alex said.

Raygun becomes viral sensation during breaking performance at 2024 Paris Olympics: Social media reacts

Breaking , more commonly known as breakdancing, made its debut as an Olympic sport this week at the 2024 Paris Games , with 17 B-girls and 16 B-boys making their way to France with the hopes of securing a gold medal.

On the first day of competition, viewers from across the world were treated to a different kind of introduction — not to the sport itself, but one of its athletes.

Though she was a long way from winning a gold medal, likely no breaker Friday captured the imagination of the international audience more than Rachael Gunn, an Australian breaker who competes under the name “Raygun.”

REQUIRED READING: Follow USA TODAY's coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics

Raygun went 0-3 in her head-to-head competitions Friday — falling to Logistx of the United States, Syssy of France and eventual silver medalist Nicka of Lithuania by a combined score of 54-0 — and failed to record a point across those three matches, but for what she lacked in smoothly executed moves, she made up for in the hearts she won over with her demeanor.

Raygun’s short-lived Olympic experience made her a celebrity, one who people became even more enamored with once they learned more about her.

The 36-year-old Gunn, who was one of the oldest qualifiers in the breaking competition, has a PhD in cultural studies and is a college professor at Macquarie University in Sydney. Her research focuses primarily on breaking, street dance and hip-hop culture while her work draws on “cultural theory, dance studies, popular music studies, media, and ethnography.”

“In 2023, many of my students didn’t believe me when I told them I was training to qualify for the Olympics, and were shocked when they checked Google and saw that I qualified,” Gunn said to CNBC earlier this month .

Unlike much of her competition in Paris, Gunn took up break dancing later in life. She didn’t enter her first battle until 2012.

On Friday, a person who began the day as a little-known academic ended it as a viral worldwide sensation.

Here’s a sampling of the reaction to Raygun and her performance:

I'd like to personally thank Raygun for making millions of people worldwide think "huh, maybe I can make the Olympics too" pic.twitter.com/p5QlUbkL2w — Bradford Pearson (@BradfordPearson) August 9, 2024

The Aussie B-Girl Raygun dressed as a school PE teach complete with cap while everyone else is dressed in funky breaking outfits has sent me. It looks like she’s giving her detention for inappropriate dress at school 🤣 #Olympics pic.twitter.com/lWVU3myu6C — Georgie Heath🎙️ (@GeorgieHeath27) August 9, 2024

There has not been an Olympic performance this dominant since Usain Bolt’s 100m sprint at Beijing in 2008. Honestly, the moment Raygun broke out her Kangaroo move this competition was over! Give her the #breakdancing gold 🥇 pic.twitter.com/6q8qAft1BX — Trapper Haskins (@TrapperHaskins) August 9, 2024
