Glenn Hoetker
University of Illinois
  at Urbana Champaign
2001 Graduate

"After graduating from Michigan in 2001, I joined the Strategy group at the University of Illinois. Michigan prepared me very well for life as an assistant professor. Writing journal articles with faculty members gave me invaluable experience with the craft of research and navigating the review process. I've found the econometric training I received at Michigan very valuable, not only for what I learned, but for the basis it gave me to master new techniques as I needed them. Most importantly, Michigan faculty are leaders in their fields, extremely well-read, and very engaged with their doctoral students."


 

Francisco Polidoro, Jr.
Assistant Professor
University of Texas at Austin
2005

"At the University of Michigan I found a world-class academic institution with a long tradition in offering outstanding doctoral programs. One of the distinctive features of my PhD program in Strategy was the possibility to receive rigorous training in related fields, such as microeconomics and organization theory. This openness to interdisciplinary studies, for which Michigan is a hallmark, along with the department’s vibrant research environment, contributed enormously to enriching my doctoral education. In 2006 I started my career as an assistant professor in the Management department at The University of Texas at Austin."


 

Charles Williams
Duke University
2002 Graduate

"I remember my time in the Michigan Strategy PhD program as several of the most intellectually challenging and exciting years of my life. With the program's distinguished tradition in strategy, and the great strengths across the university in related disciplines, such as economics, sociology, and political science, Michigan offers excellent training for research and teaching in business."
