MIT's Dewey Library, which houses one of the best Industrial Relations libraries in the country, and extensive computer facilities, provide further support. Associated faculty Thomas A. Kochan Richard M. Locke Robert B. McKersie Paul Osterman Mary Rowe International Management International Management is an interdisciplinary field of study concerned with the public and private management of international flows of funds, goods, information, technology, and people for commercial purposes, and with the management of enterprises operating within diverse national sovereignties. The Sloan School has offered a doctoral concentration in international management since 1962, thereby being one of the first graduate schools of management and business in the United States to do so. Because the international dimension of management cuts across the more traditional discipline or management function dimensions of the curriculum, Sloan has developed courses and activities which combine the two orientations. Students who choose this concentration are expected to gain expertise in an underlying discipline such as economics, sociology or psychology, and political science.
Invention is the management of research and development.
For nearly forty years, Sloan School faculty and graduate students working with them have distinguished themselves for the breadth and depth of their managerial research and curriculum on all aspects of the management of research, development, and technology-based innovation. These investigations take place at industry and government sites in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. MIT's International Center for Research on the Manufacturing of Technology and the Entrepreneurship Center further strengthens work in this area. Doctoral students often collaborate with members of the School of Engineering on research projects. This enables you to gain a lot of valuable insight on the decisions that lie ahead.
