OLRG
(Organizational Learning Research Group)
This
is a new and recently established research area within the School. Organizational Learning is a major interdisciplinary area within the Business & Management field as a whole and has been growing steadily since the 1980s. This field develops the theory and
empirical study of organizational learning drawing on both Sociology and Psychology. The group is led by two internationally known professors within this field (Fox and Robertson), and it has six other affiliated academics. A PhD student in this area would
have the benefit of joining a vibrant, energetic and well-networked research group eager to develop the next generation of thinking in this significant interdisciplinary field. Three possible topics are proposed: (i) the management and leadership of health
professionals; (ii) the management of innovation and processes of entrepreneurship: (iii) the study of change processes within organizations.
The
Award
Queen Mary Studentships are open to suitably qualified candidates from the UK, EU and overseas. The Studentship consists of the
full cost of (home or overseas) fees and £15,786 a year for maintenance for 3 years for London-based students. The studentship requires full-time commitment and award holders will be expected to be resident in London during the 3 year period of the studentship.
