WELCOME!
Welcome to the Ph.D. in Manufacturing and Technology Management Program at
the College of Business Administration of the University of Toledo!
Our
Ph.D. program has a history of interdisciplinary research and has recently
been expanded to include supply chain management, information systems, and
the management of technology. The Ph.D. program also has a long history of
research productivity. Following are some of the facts regarding research
productivity of the program:
- Our
program faculty and students consistently rank at the top of Decision
Sciences Institute (DSI) Conferences in term of
publications for several consecutive years (2000-2004).
- Our
program ranks 8th in the world in Journal of Operations Management's
publications. Journal of Operations Management is regarded as the
number one journal in supply chain management research (*).
- Our
program ranks 46th in information systems and technology research when a
basket of top journals that cover technology and information systems is
considered (MIS Quarterly, Journal of Computing, and Information Systems
Research) (*).

Our Ph.D.
program has over twenty years history of training and preparing quality
doctoral researchers for careers at leading academic institutions. We now
have more than 40 graduates featuring very strong placements in Operations
Management, Information Systems and Technology Management, Business and
Economics, Decision and Information Sciences, Management, Marketing, and
Accounting at institutions such as Texas A&M, University of Massachusetts at
Dartmouth, Pennsylvania State University (Brandywine), Gonzaga University,
Rochester Institute of Technology, University of Wisconsin, University of
Richmond, Ball State University, and Middle Tennessee State among many
others.
Twelve of
our graduates have received national awards for research and/or educational
excellence. Among them, four graduates won best dissertation awards or
honorable mention and six graduates have been recognized with best paper
awards at national conferences. The practical value of the dissertation
research is also reflected in awards and support from the Institute for
Supply Management, American Society for Quality, Society of Manufacturing
Engineers, and Society of Automotive Engineers.
It is our
philosophy to continuously strive for excellence in our program and to
provide the best opportunities to our students.
