The first program of its kind in Canada, the Conrad School’s PhD in Entrepreneurship and Organization offers emerging entrepreneurship researchers the unique opportunity to study alongside our world-class faculty within Waterloo’s distinctive innovation ecosystem.
The program equips students to conduct independent scientific research in the domains of Entrepreneurship and Organizations . This program builds on the fundamental theoretical foundations of the organizational behaviour and strategy literatures. It is different from traditional Management PhD programs, as it applies an entrepreneurial lens and studies behaviour in entrepreneurial contexts.
The PhD program includes intensive coursework, a comprehensive exam, a thesis proposal, and rigorous research work. Students will gain a strong understanding of the strengths and limitations of a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methods, as well as theories used in entrepreneurship research, while also developing their skills to carry out their own independent research.
This program is offered full-time only, on campus, and takes 12 terms (4 years) to complete.
Courses | Comprehensive Examination | Thesis | Research
This course will offer insights into the main theories and issues in the studies of entre/intrapreneurship and innovation. It will also discuss the complex and dynamic reality of the entrepreneur and the innovating organization as well as explore research traditions, methodologies, and approaches in entrepreneurship research.
This course will offer an understanding of classic and contemporary issues in organizational behaviour. Drawing on theory and research in psychology, social psychology, and organizational behaviour, this course will explore individual, interpersonal, and group processes in work organizations.
This course will examine the current state of knowledge in strategic management. Topics may include the sources of competitive advantage, the role of industry evolution and technology, the organization of top management, and managerial decision-making and cognition. It will also cover alternative theoretical perspectives and available empirical evidence related to these topics.
This course will examine the different stages in the research process beginning with how to frame research questions, speculate hypotheses, understand the merits of alternative research methods, and cover topics and provide examples in areas such as experimental design, survey design, case studies, and archival research. By the end of the course, students will be prepared to critically evaluate research methods and design choices for their own research.
In addition to the above four courses offered through the Conrad School, students will also be required to successfully complete two graduate-level method or data analysis courses available through other departments at the University of Waterloo.
Students will take a comprehensive exam in the fourth term. The exam will measure the breadth and depth of the student’s knowledge of the academic discipline and the qualitative and quantitative methods in that discipline.
Students must complete the comprehensive exam before proceeding to their thesis.
As part of the degree requirements, each student will present their thesis proposal to a Thesis Examination Committee. The exam will include a critical assessment of students’ thesis proposal based on a written report provided in advance. The Committee will examine the student’s understanding of the proposed research, suggested theoretical framework, methods, and whether the proposed research makes an original contribution to the candidate’s academic discipline.
The thesis must contain original research which makes a distinct contribution of knowledge to entrepreneurship and organization research.
Students will accomplish independent and original research work. Working closely with an academic supervisor, the work will involve both theoretical and empirical components.
Please note that securing a supervisor is not required when applying.
The program will focus on entrepreneurship and organization; however, within this area, students can focus on several areas of research. Explore the research currently being conducted at the Conrad School for more details.

Haskayne PhD
Our funding package is one the most generous among the Canadian business schools. We pay full tuition to all students admitted. We provide in excess of $120,000 over four years plus partial funding in year 5 to all incoming PhD students. We also support each student’s participation and attendance at academic conferences (subject to approval) to encourage presenting research and building networks.
The main mission of the PhD program in Accounting at the Haskayne School of Business, University of Calgary, is to prepare prospective faculty members for positions at reputable business schools in Canada and around the world. Our graduates teach and research in schools such as American University of Cairo, Concordia University, Mount Royal University, University of Ottawa, Royal Roads University. University of Texas-Pan American and York University.
Some of the factors that make our graduates successful include a rigorous admission process, training in core business, accounting, and statistics. In addition to five core seminars in business and research methodology, our students are required to complete four seminars in accounting research, one seminar in a minor area (Corporate Sustainability and Finance are popular choices) and two statistics courses. For their seminar courses students are required to take Managerial Accounting Seminar, Financial Accounting Seminar, and Paradigms, Issues, and Methods. They may choose from other optional courses including Evaluating Environmental Performance, Tax, Advanced Financial, and Advanced Managerial or other Special Topics (as a directed study). Additionally, the Accounting Area holds a regular series of research presentations by our faculty members and well-known researchers from other universities, as part of or independently of these courses. With help from their professors, PhD students undertake their own research project through a summer research program at the end of their first year, which may be further developed for conference presentation and/or expanded into dissertation research. PhD students are frequently provided with opportunities to work with professors on accounting research projects.
Financial aid is available to some of our students through the Chartered Accountants Education Foundation, and the Certified Management Accountants. Please view their websites for specific requirements for applying. PhD students, along with professors, can apply for small amounts of funding to support research projects through the Certified Management Accountants and Certified General Accountants internal research competitions. Other competitive awards that may be of interest to support research are the Peter Valentine Corporate Governance Award and the Enbridge Corporate Sustainability Award Doctoral Scholarship, if doing research on these topics.
When ready, students are encouraged to attend and present papers at the Canadian Academic Accounting Association (CAAA), the American Accounting Association (AAA), the European Accounting Association (EAA), and the Administrative Sciences Association of Canada (ASAC). Students can also attend the Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) conference as a PhD participant. Other conferences of regional or special interest, depending on the student’s area of research, may also be encouraged. There are also a number of PhD doctoral consortiums that can be attended.
PhD students are free to select their own topic of interest for their dissertation research; however, most students choose a topic of interest they may share with one of the accounting professors. Some topics that have been investigated in the past include international accounting, capital markets, intellectual capital, public sector accounting, managerial performance systems, and corporate sustainability. Methods include experimental, events studies using archival data, case studies, empirical analysis, and others. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used as well. Our graduates publish in such quality journals as Journal of Accounting Research (JAR), Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR), Accounting, Organization and Society (AOS), and Journal of Business Ethics. Many of our graduates serve as associate editors or in the editorial boards of reputable journals.

The Haskayne PhD in Entrepreneurship and Innovation offers students an opportunity to work with faculty who are committed to excellence in theoretical foundations and a variety of research methodologies, preparing them for academic careers.
Entrepreneurship and Innovation (ENTI) is an interdisciplinary domain that focuses on the activities, people and context involved in initiating, developing, and maintaining an enterprise or innovation. Among topics of interest are new venture opportunities, strategies, and resources; entrepreneurship ecosystems; the owner-manager; the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic development; family business; crowdfunding; start-up governance; social entrepreneurship; intrapreneurship; and international entrepreneurship and policy.
In addition, because entrepreneurship often involves technological innovations, the specialization includes scholarship and dialogue on the management of innovation and technological change, technology strategy, technology-based entrepreneurship, and the commercialization of scientific research.
We encourage students to examine the questions of the field from multiple perspectives and draw upon a wide range of foundational disciplines, including economics, mathematics, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.

The doctoral programs in SGMA and OBHR are closely aligned, and encourage students to adopt multi-disciplinary and multi-methodology approaches in their research.
The key question to be answered in any SGMA or OBHR thesis is always: how to increase the effectiveness and/or efficiency of a managerial practice with a view to contribute to the firm’s competitive advantage?
There is considerable flexibility in choosing the thesis subject, i.e., the selected managerial practice’s nature and scope. Such practice may be observable at the level of the individual decision-maker, a team, a sub-unit within the firm, the firm, a strategic alliance or even an industry.
Answering the key question in a SGMA or OBHR dissertation must build on solid conceptual foundations and take advantage of state-of-the-art empirical methodologies, both in the quantitative and qualitative sphere.
Students are encouraged to adopt an integrative approach, drawing conceptual insight from foundational disciplines such as applied psychology, micro-economics (especially the law, economics and organization branch of micro-economics) and other complementary disciplines with proven potential to answer in a rigorous fashion the key question considered.
The focus should be on gaining an in-depth understanding of the practice at hand in terms of its strengths (or benefits) and weaknesses (or costs), and on developing or evaluating a set of actionable paths towards improving the practice.
For example, work on non-market strategies of firms may require delving into political science, the institutional-theory strand of sociology, and law. As another example, work on designing effective human resources management practices in multinational enterprises may require a serious grounding in conceptual frameworks related to societal culture and organizational behaviour, and deep knowledge of the modern economics-based theory of the multinational enterprise.
All SGMA and OBHR students will be expected to master advanced statistics as used in the leading management journals (such as the Academy of Management Journal), and have an equivalent command of qualitative research methods .
The SGMA and OBHR doctoral programs will provide the PhD students with the multi-disciplinary and multi-methodology training required to examine issues of managerial effectiveness and efficiency in a large variety of organizational settings.
Students will be supervised by a select group of Haskayne faculty members, who have published in leading academic journals and whose expectation is that each thesis will consist of a set of high quality essays publishable in refereed journals. These faculty members have a history of co-publishing with their students on a wide variety of topics, ranging from the determinants of job satisfaction, to meta-analyses on a wide variety of organizational phenomena, and the strategy and structure of the world’s largest companies. Take a look at the SGMA and OBHR faculty members’ research records to see if there is an overlap in interests.

These joint programs are individually tailored to meet student interests and needs. Students in cross-disciplinary programs must be highly qualified because it is difficult to meet the standards of two specializations.

International Business (IB) combines international expertise with the functional areas of General Management, emphasizing issues facing the multinational enterprise (MNE) and businesses engaged in dealings across national borders. The strength in this combination allows students to explore a deeper understanding of the cross-border intra- and inter-organizational relationships of the MNE, and incorporates a multi-level approach that also addresses the economic, institutional, sociocultural, and sociopolitical contexts in which the MNE is embedded.
The IB group at Ivey encourages students to engage with the academic community early, with many students presenting their work at the Academy of International Business and Academy of Management Annual Conferences. Our students deliver high-quality research that has frequently been recognized in leading dissertation award competitions , including those presented by the Academy of Management IM Division , the Academy of International Business , and the European International Business Academy . Ivey’s IB area group’s PhD graduates are frequent winners or finalists of these awards.
PhD students regularly co-author with senior scholars in the IB group, and their papers have received Best Paper Awards at: Academy of International Business Annual Meeting, Academy of Management Annual Meeting, Strategic Management Society Annual International Conference, Administrative Sciences of Canada Annual Conference, and Association of Japanese Business Studies Annual Conference.
Our current IB group at Ivey consists of Paul Beamish , Klaus Meyer , Andreas Schotter , Vanessa Hasse , Nina Rosenbusch , and Elie Chrysostome . Though the common theme of IB unifies these colleagues, they draw on varied disciplinary bases to address issues of strategic alliances, foreign direct investment, subsidiary management, and boundary spanning leadership. They are particularly interested in studying these themes in emerging economies, including multinational enterprises originating from emerging economies. Leveraging their diversity, the IB group is interested in understanding IB phenomena from a multi-level and multi-disciplinary perspective. The International Business Institute supports this research.
*Please note that IB is a stream under General Management
The IB group ranks among the world's top 10 IB departments in terms of impact and productivity, and regularly publishes in the field’s top journals, such as Journal of International Business Studies, Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, Journal of Business Venturing, Journal of Management, Journal of Management Studies, Organization Science, and Strategic Management Journal.
IB is one of five possible specializations within Ivey’s General Management PhD program. The IB specialization is designed for those interested in pursuing academic careers at top business schools in IB, Strategy, or Management departments.
The IB group welcomes applications from qualified candidates that are interested in conducting research into themes related to their research interests. The following list is indicative of such projects:
All Professors within the IB group are recruiting PhD students to join their research on the management of MNE subsidiaries . Such subsidiaries interact with, and contribute to, host societies in multiple ways that merit deeper scholarly investigations. Topics within this research agenda may examine any aspect of the strategies and operations of MNE subsidiaries, including the drivers of subsidiary growth, performance knowledge management, scope reductions and divestment as well as their contribution to host country economic, social, and environmental objectives. We are particularly interested in research exploring the role that individuals, such as boundary spanners, have on subsidiary- and MNE-level outcomes. Sample research:
Professors Paul Beamish and Vanessa Hasse are recruiting for a co-supervision of PhD students with a research interest in the area of international joint ventures (IJVs) and strategic alliances . Topics within this research area can range broadly from collaborative strategies to the management of IJVs and strategic alliances. Experience with or an interest in quantitative data analysis, especially using larger datasets, will be an asset. Sample research:
Professor Andreas Schotter is recruiting PhD students wishing to pursue research into the internationalization of firms in the digital economy . Topics in this line of research may employ qualitative or quantitative methodologies to examine the internationalization of young firms in the digital economy, or the strategies of mature multinational firms reacting to disruptions caused by the digital economy. This research also looks at changing location choices and the emergence of new internal and external organizational structures. Sample research:
Professors Klaus Meyer and Bob Andersen are recruiting PhD students interested to analyze the impact of social and political disruption on businesses operating across national borders . This is a new stream of research which aims to enhance scholarly understanding of corporate strategies (e.g. mergers, acquisitions and divestments) as companies cope with an increasingly uncertain international business environment and/or with specific disruptions in international trade or investment regimes. Sample research:
Professors Paul Beamish and Vanessa Hasse are recruiting for a co-supervision of PhD students with an interest in (and ideally direct exposure to) international business within frontier markets and the world’s poorest economies. Topics within this research area can range broadly from: FDI into or exit from these countries, social intermediation to reduce poverty, the role of management education, and response strategies for rare events, among others. Sample research:
Professor Klaus Meyer is recruiting PhD students with a research interest in the strategies and operations of multinational enterprises originating from emerging economies . Multinational enterprises from countries and regions such as China, India or South-East Asia face distinct challenges and opportunities arising from the economic and political structures of their home economies. This line of research is in particular exploring how companies address the strategic and operational challenges of catch-up strategies, including the engagement with market and nonmarket actors at home and abroad. Sample research:
Professor Andreas Schotter is recruiting Ph.D. students wishing to pursue research at the intersections of international business, economic geography, and innovation, with as particular focus on how Industry 4.0 forces shape multinational enterprise (MNE) activities and the future of work in global value chains. The research considers firm level lenses from corporate strategy and the theory of the firm and microfoundations lenses, bringing the manager into the focus, while considering the rapid changes in the external environment, such as the emergence of digital technologies and increasing global connectedness. The emphasis will be on novel configurational theorizing and methods that seek to accommodate the multiplicity of actors—individuals, firms, industries, countries—and multiplexity of interactions among these actors. We aim to develop new and refine existing knowledge that accounts for the new complexities of configuring the MNE. Sample research:

Foreign Direct Investment in Global Cities and Co-Ethnic Clusters: Characteristics, Performance, and Survival
This dissertation examines the characteristics, profitability, and survival of multinational enterprise (MNE) foreign direct investment (FDI) in North American “global” cities (GCs), such as Los Angeles, New York, and Toronto. Across GCs and their metropolitan areas (Metros), MNEs often co-locate with their home country and co-industry peers in “co-ethnic” and “co-ethnic, co-industry” (CECI) clusters. Despite their substantial influence on the world economy GCs are relatively underexplored as location units of analysis in International Business (IB) research. Accordingly, I address three research questions.... Read more about this thesis

Many professors are able to provide Research Assistantships (GRA) from their research grants to support full-time graduate students studying under their supervision. The duties constitute part of the student's graduate degree requirements. A Graduate Research Assistantship is considered a form of fellowship for a period of graduate study and is therefore not covered by a collective agreement. Stipends vary widely, and are dependent on the field of study and the type of research grant from which the assistantship is being funded.
Graduate programs may have Teaching Assistantships available for registered full-time graduate students. Full teaching assistantships involve 12 hours work per week in preparation, lecturing, or laboratory instruction although many graduate programs offer partial TA appointments at less than 12 hours per week. Teaching assistantship rates are set by collective bargaining between the University and the Teaching Assistants' Union .
Academic Assistantships are employment opportunities to perform work that is relevant to the university or to an individual faculty member, but not to support the student’s graduate research and thesis. Wages are considered regular earnings and when paid monthly, include vacation pay.
