Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Strategic Management . Georgia Tech College of Management, USA

Scholarship / Financial aid: Full scholarship and living expenses covered

Date: the following fall semester

Deadline: January 15, 2008

Open to: Students from all countries

Announcement follows:

Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Strategic Management at Georgia Tech

The Strategic Management area at Georgia Tech's College of Management (COM)seeks Qualified Applicants for their Ph.D. program

Have you ever thought about getting a Ph.D.? A doctoral degree qualifies you to pursue an academic career as a researcher and educator. An academic career provides not only tremendous intellectual freedom, but makes it possible to work with bright people throughout your life.

You really can make a difference through the scholarly research you create, and the lives you shape through your teaching. The life style is great, and the pay is good! Frequently, Ph.D. graduates' starting salary range from $100K to $150K, depending on placement, which is largely determined by performance in the doctoral program. Moreover, the job market for Strategy Ph.D.s has been strong, and in recent years more positions have been available than candidates pursuing jobs. Thus, it is not surprising that the position of a university professor is frequently ranked as one of the most desirable jobs in the world.

Why in Strategic Management? As the integrative discipline in business management, strategy is both interesting and fun. The unifying element of strategy research is driven by answering the question of why do some firms outperform their competitors? To answer this critical question, researchers draw on different disciplines, such as economics and sociology, to study the critical roles that managers, technologies, and business relationships play in determining why some companies do better than others.

Why at Georgia Tech? GT's Ph.D. program is strongly research oriented, and emphasizes the early involvement of our students in research projects with world-wide leading faculty. The Ph.D. program places significant weight on learning outside the classroom. Given the small size of the program, the tutorial-mentor model is the primary educational approach employed. Thus, doctoral students experience significant attention and support by a diverse set of world-class faculty.

At Georgia Tech, the study of strategic management is interdisciplinary and integrative; providing focus in the areas of technology and innovation management, entrepreneurship, and international management. The Strategic Management area represents a strong community of active researchers pursuing a wide variety of interests. See http://mgt.gatech.edu/for more information.

9th Weimar Summer Courses, Weimar, Germany

Scholarship / Financial aid: limited number of full scholarships are available

Date: 22nd June - 5th July 2008

Deadline: 30th April 2008

Open to: students and all interested

Announcement follows:

The Weimar Summer Courses – two creative weeks in the centre of European culture! Weimar and Jena are not only known for the "Classics" Goethe and Schiller, but also for the early romanticists Tieck and Novalis, the philosophers Schelling, Hegel und Nietzsche and musicians Johann Sebastian Bach and Franz Liszt. The founding of the Bauhaus in 1919 in Weimar heralded a worldwide revolution in architecture and design. The failure of the "Weimar Republic" and later the concentration camp Buchenwald finally also refer to the darker periods in German history.

For this reason, the Weimar Summer Courses intend to stimulate active exposure to cultural heritage: What can poets, philosophers and artists say today? Which directions and thought-provoking impulses can be derived for contemporary challenges? The Summer Courses also offer an intimate insight into the world of well-known heritage sites, from the National Goethe Museum and Nietzsche-Archives to the Bauhaus Workshops. They also give you the opportunity to experience the vibrant cultural life in Weimar.

What is waiting for you in Weimar?

-Two weeks of intensive summer course in small work groups, with lectures, seminars and individual supervising by recognised experts (working hours: 9-12 a.m. and 2-5 p.m .)

-Visits to important cultural and classical sites in Weimar and the surrounding area (see free time and leisure)

-Free access to museums, art collections, libraries and archives in Weimar (free entrance with participant card)

-Guided walking-tours through parks in Weimar and the surrounding area (Ilm Park, Tiefurt, Ettersburg, Belvedere, Oßmannstedt)

-One day excursion (optionally to Erfurt, Jena or Naumburg and Dornburg Castles)

-Two weeks full board and lodging in a modern double room in the centre of Weimar (costs included in the course fees; additional charge for single room)

-On demand health and accident insurance

The total fee is 750 € (250 € course fee, 280 € for accommodation, 220 € for board). For students and participants who do not earn any income of their own, the course fee may be waived if appropriate proof is provided (the participant's contribution is then 500 Euro). In the case of particular financial hardship a limited number of full scholarships are available providing full support for the total fee (the participant need not contribute). The closing date for applications is 30th April 2008
