This expanded PhD track is based in the Organisational Behaviour (OB) Faculty Group within the Department of Management. The group’s mission is to address contemporary social and organisational issues and pursue the LSE vision of improving society and understanding the causes of things.
The OB group is unique in its intellectual placement at the heart of the LSE, an international institute of social sciences, and in its geographic location at the heart of London, a key financial and political hub.
In order to develop a global understanding of people and organisations, we study phenomena in a wide range of settings, examining both the organizations themselves (macro-OB) and the people within those organizations (micro-OB) through rigorous and innovative research.
This track requires a minimum number of courses in theory, methodology & methods anchored in OB. The courses provide students with the skills essential to compete in the international labour market and obtain jobs at top universities globally. ( The training delivers the necessary background for high-quality research in OB and enabling publications in leading academic journals, at par with top schools.
