This cross-institutional virtual PhD seminar will focus on understanding the strategies that firms use to manage the “nonmarket” business environment – i.e., the forces outside the marketplace that shape market exchanges. The seminar will include ten two-hour sessions during the 2021-2022 academic year and will be held on Fridays, from 1-3pm ET, over Zoom.

Student nomination and selection process: Participating students will be nominated by NMSRC faculty and invited to join. Priority will be given to students nominated by faculty teaching in the NMSRC Virtual PhD Seminar; remaining seats will be assigned to students nominated by other NMSRC faculty, with priority given to students in the 2nd and 3rd years of their PhD programs.
