Research excellence serves as the foundation of the M&O department (http://www.rhsmith.umd.edu/management). Our faculty has interests and responsibilities covering the following areas: OB, HR, strategy, globalization, and entrepreneurship. A recent analysis of publications in the most prestigious strategy, OB, and HR journals indicated that M&O ranked among the top five departments over the past eight years. M&O faculty provide leadership to management and related fields; several M&O faculty are Fellows and hold leadership positions in the Academy of Management (including a past Dean of Fellows, two Past Presidents, and current President-Elect of the Academy of Management), the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology, and other professional organizations; several hold editorships and editorial board appointments on prestigious academic journals. M&O has a vibrant PhD program, which is getting stronger each year. M&O faculty also believes in teaching excellence. Over the last several years, M&O faculty have earned some of the highest teaching ratings in the school. It is our belief that excellence in research and teaching relates to a culture of collaboration and intellectual synergy.
