The M&O faculty is generally
considered as one of the very best in the discipline. It is recognized for
cutting-edge research in change management, corporate governance, corporate
social responsibility, cross-cultural management, managing identity, leadership,
networks, organizing, positive organizational scholarship, pro-activity,
resilience and social movements, to name a few. It is a highly
interdisciplinary faculty with many faculty members holding joint appointments
and affiliations with departments across campus, including Psychology,
Sociology, Education, Natural Resources, Organizational Studies, and Public
Policy. Faculty members are committed to excellence in teaching, research,
and service. M&O faculty members hold leadership positions in the
discipline's professional associations as well as editorial board memberships in
its most prestigious scholarly journals. As a result, the M&O faculty has
helped shape the field of management and organizational studies, and it aspires
to continue to have significant impact on the future of research and practice.
M&O collaborates actively in research and teaching with four interdisciplinary
centers:
-
The
Interdisciplinary Committee on Organizational Studies (ICOS) has
the single goal of enhancing the University of Michigan’s strength as a world
center for interdisciplinary research and scholarship on organizations. ICOS
seeks to enrich the intellectual environment of Ph.D. students and faculty
interested in organization studies by increasing the quality, breadth, depth and
usefulness of organizational research.
-
The Center for Positive Organizational Scholarship
focuses on research and teaching that enables the best of
the human condition for individuals, groups, and organizations. CPOS
sponsors research and teaching on extraordinarily successful performance,
thriving outcomes, and positive processes that can be applied in individuals,
groups, and organizations.
-
The Nonprofit and Public Management Center
is a collaboration of the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business,
School of Public Policy and School of Social Work. The growing importance of the
nonprofit sector in the economy and in society, increased blurring of boundaries
between business and the nonprofit sector and the increased use of
public/private partnerships to accomplish social goals means that leaders of the
future must know more about the nonprofit and public sectors than in the past.
The Center provides a forum for professional students, faculty and researchers
who seek to understand the distinctive contributions of nonprofit and public
organizations.
-
The Frederick A. and Barbara M. Erb
Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise creates and disseminates
leading-edge knowledge in the area of global sustainable enterprise. This
field explores how organizations throughout the world can achieve long-term
success through the harmonization of economic, environmental, and social
interests. Through a 50-50 partnership between the School of Natural
Resources and Environment and the Ross School of Business, the Institute fosters
professional education, public outreach, and scientific scholarship supportive
of the transition to sustainability.
