Strategic Management

Widely considered amongst the very best in the world, the Rotman Strategic Management Area is headed up by Professor Brian Golden

Professor Golden: "In a world characterized by political instability, growing globalization, escalating competition, and rapid social and technological change, strategic management of organizations is becoming increasingly vital to their success. The Strategic Management Area allows students to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for a managerial approach to running a business in today's competitive environment."

Strategic Management Academic Events

Strategic Management Area workshops are usually held Thursday from 4:00-5:30pm. We periodically present conferences and seminars. When we are able to do so, papers will be posted prior to the workshop start time.

Strategic Mangement Faculty

Research interests of the strategic management faculty are rich and varied. Some of the most celebrated faculty at Rotman work in this area, including Dean Roger Martin.

Organization and Markets Research Group

Sponsored research explores topics such as the relative efficiency of organizations and markets; the incidence and performance effects of non-standard organizational forms such as alliances, networks, and non-standard contracting; the role of geography in determining organizational form; and dynamic interactions between firm and industry levels of analysis (e.g., how firm strategies shape, and are shaped by, market structure).
