WELCOME
Thank you for your interest in the doctoral
program at Iowa State University College
of Business. The college is dedicated
to preparing doctoral students with
outstanding research and teaching skills
in one of three areas: marketing/customer
management, supply chain management
and information technology.
Our Ph.D. program is focused sharply on
developing research skills of students.
During the program of study, students learn
the process of advancing knowledge in an
area of their choice. Working on research
projects begins the day the student enters
the program. It is a center piece of every
research seminar that students take in the
college. Financial assistantship is given for
the full 12-month cycle with the idea that
students can work on research full time
during the summer semester. You will find
that working on research with internationally
recognized faculty is a really exciting and
fulfilling process.
A feature that sets the College of Business
apart from other institutions is the unique
collaborative environment between faculty
and students. Each student is assigned to
a faculty of his or her choice who mentors
the student through the program. Faculty
considers the success of students as their
top priority. Students are treated as junior
colleagues and the mentoring process
enhances the ability of students to conduct
high quality research and publish in the top
journals in their field.
We also dedicate ourselves to preparing
well-rounded students that are equally good
in teaching and knowledge dissemination as
they are in research. Students are provided
multiple teaching opportunities during their
program of study. A variety of teaching aids
are made available so that students can
excel in teaching.
In the following pages, you will learn more
about the program and the faculty in the
program. You will also learn the unique
strengths of the school in each major area.
More details of the same are available on the
Ph.D. web site of the college.
I look forward to you joining the ISU College
of Business research community. Please
visit our web site for the application form.
Sincerely,
Dr. Michael Crum

THE IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADVANTAGE
A strategic goal of the College of Business is to offer a high quality Ph.D.
program that will produce outstanding students who can be placed in
the top schools in the country and the world. With strategic and financial
support from the dean of the college, the research environment in the
college is strong and productive and matches well with any recognized
business program in the country.
At the program level, the ISU Ph.D. program offers the opportunity to
students to obtain specialized knowledge in one of the traditional functional
areas of business such as marketing, management, operations, logistics
and information systems. However, a distinctive feature of the program is
its focus on inter-functional issues. At ISU, the program makes an effort to
bring faculty from multiple functional areas to instruct and interact with
students and provide a more integrated program of study that reflects
business reality.
The college is housed in the Gerdin Business Building. The 111,000 square
foot building is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including high-
tech laboratories that allow students and faculty to investigate real-world
business situations, like securities trading, market research, and neural
mapping of consumers.
The Ph.D. program is supported by nationally and internationally renowned
departments at Iowa State University in the areas of statistics, mathematics,
economics, psychology, sociology, industrial engineering, computer
science and computer engineering.
Iowa State University does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, ethnicity, religion, national origin, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, sex, marital status, disability, or status as a U.S. veteran.

FACULTY
Iowa State’s College of Business has nationally-recognized faculty that are
deeply committed to conducting state-of-the-art research. The faculty body
has a wide range of expertise and interest in each of the three areas of
the Ph.D. program. These capabilities, combined with a solid curriculum,
provide Ph.D. students with an innovative educational experience.
WORKING WITH FACULTY
The business faculty is collegial and utilizes an inclusive approach to
problem solving. From the day a Ph.D. student starts the program, he/ she
will be actively working with faculty. In fact, wherever feasible, faculty
help students prepare for their research career by working with them even
before they officially enter the program.
The first year of the program is utilized to provide exposure to faculty and
their work in the student’s area of interest. Over the next year and after,
students are assigned to a mentor of their choice, with whom they engage
in joint research projects and co-author papers. Many of our students have
published articles in the top journals of their field. The program is uniquely
customized to meet the needs of the individual student.

SPECIALIZATIONS
Customer Management
The Customer Management (CM) major addresses marketing issues
relating to how businesses identify, attract, capture, service and retain
customers. Consistent with its domain, the CM program will focus on
areas such as consumer behavior, marketing strategy, CM strategy and its
implementation, relationship marketing, data mining and warehousing and
CM technologies and tools. The CM major is housed within the marketing
department. Students in the CM major will be recruited by marketing
academic programs at other institutions.
At the individual student level, the objective of the CM major is to develop
customized programs that impart students with the ability to conduct cutting-
edge research in areas of interest to them. The current cohort of students
is conducting research in the following areas: consumer behavior areas
such as violent advertising and its impact on children, affective information
processing, service failure and recovery, sensory research and customer
loyalty; and strategy areas such as innovation, marketing capability and its
impact on firm performance, channel relationships, gray marketing, CRM
implementation and upper echelon impact on firm behavior.
The CM major is truly diversified with students from different parts of the
world, including United States, India, Taiwan, and Korea.
Management of Information Technology
The doctoral program in Management of Information Technology (MIT)
focuses on the field of information systems. The information systems
group in the college will have primary responsibility for this program. PhD
students in the MIT major conduct research in three broad areas:
1. Decision and management science
2. Technology and software systems
3. Organizational and behavioral science
Since the information systems function plays an enabler role within
organizations, the focus of IS research is on how the IS function improves
efficacy of decision making across the enterprise and thus contributes to
superior firm performance.

www.business.iastate.edu/phd
At the individual student level, the objective of the MIT major is to develop
customized programs that impart students with the ability to conduct
cutting-edge research in areas of interest to them. The current cohort
of students is conducting research in the following areas: computer and
network security, user interface design and usability, systems design
for business infrastructures, computer-mediated deception, knowledge
management and absorptive capacity of firms, technology adoption, virtual
fraud, business intelligence and expert systems.
Supply Chain Management
The doctoral program in Supply Chain Management (SCM) focuses on the
design, development and control of business processes for the conversion
of inputs into outputs and distribution of those outputs. The traditional
focus of SCM was on integration of processes across multiple functions
within the firm—operations management, logistics, and purchasing
primarily, with elements of marketing and information systems included as
well. However, in today’s world, where competition is across supply chain
networks, SCM also involves integrating business processes across firms.
Research in this area therefore involves issues that are interdisciplinary in
nature and cover both intra- and inter-organizational issues.
At the individual student level, the objective of the SCM major is to develop
customized programs that impart students with the ability to conduct
cutting-edge research in areas of interest to them. The current cohort of
students is conducting research in the following areas: green supply chain
management, environmental innovation, sustainability, supplier selection,
managing biodiversity, network flow models, supply chain risk and
mitigation, supply chain agility, supply chain differentiation, and supply
chain interface with other business functions.
The SCM major is truly diversified with students from different parts of the
world, including United States, India, Columbia, China, and Korea.

“Students who are successful in a Ph.D.
program have intellectual curiosity and a
passion for the creation of new knowledge.
Further, students have to stay motivated
