Overview
Due to the multidisciplinary nature of the field, PhD students are provided with grounding in three quantitative areas: statistical methods, microeconomics and game theory, and optimization techniques.
These core disciplines establish a rigorous foundation for research in the empirical sciences as applied to the field of operations management and information systems. During their second year of study, students have the opportunity to further specialize according to their research interests by taking courses approved by the OMIS PhD Coordinator.
OMIS faculty regularly publish their research within the best journals in their respective fields (such as the Journal of Operations Management, Management Science, and MIS Quarterly) as well as leading journals in other disciplines (i.e. Strategic Management Journal and Environmental Informatics Archives).
Research interests within the faculty range from mainstream topics such as supply chain strategy and knowledge management systems to emerging topics such as environmentally sustainable business practices. While the area has a core capability in empirical research methods, OMIS faculty have successfully applied a range of empirical and analytical methods depending on the requirements of specific research programs.

Research Proposal
Prior to the end of their second semester, students must submit to the OMIS area PhD coordinator a one-page research proposal that reflects their general area of interest. On the basis of this proposal, students will be assigned to an OMIS area faculty member who will supervise and guide the direction of a research project with the goal of producing academic manuscripts. Students are expected to work on research related activities starting in the summer of their first year and throughout their second year. During the summer of their second year (prior to taking comprehensive exam), students must demonstrate research ability by leading a 60-minute research seminar detailing their original contributions.
