The supporT for phD sTuDenTs aT LinDner is incredible. The college is invested in helping candidates succeed as researchers and as teachers.

LINDNER College of Business
is built on an apprenticeship-style training model in which our students learn the history and current state of research in their area of concentration, conduct original research that advances knowledge in their field, and transfer their knowledge to others through teaching.
The primary mission of the Lindner PhD Program is to train future business school faculty who not only
teach in and across the disciplines in which they work, but also advance knowledge in those disciplines
through the generation and conduct of original research. Students work closely with faculty starting day one
of the program.
Our primary impact lies in supplying extraordinary faculty members to both public and private schools
of business administration, both within the United States and internationally. Recent placements include
Clemson University, Drexel University, Michigan State University, Providence College, University of Guelph
and University of South Florida, among others.
THE LINDNER PhD IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM HAS SIX AREAS OF CONCENTRATION:
• Accounting
• Economics
• Finance
• Management
• Marketing
• Operations, Business Analytics & Information Systems
In each concentration students learn from the best and
have opportunities to research and teach in their chosen
field. The research generated in all concentrations by our
doctoral students and faculty addresses issues of national
and international importance. Each program is flexible
and tailored to the needs of the individual students.

Beyond research, our faculty routinely win teaching awards both locally and nationally.

Sung Doo Kim is opening a rare avenue of research into coping with technology-induced distractions from work in our contemporary society. Previous research has focused on breaks during off-job hours such as evening, weekend and vacation periods or on traditional “offline” breaks taken during working hours such as lunch or coffee breaks. Given the prevalence of online work breaks, his University of Cincinnati studies examined this phenomenon in depth, utilizing extensive one-on-one interviews with professionals from a variety of industries and occupations. Kim’s recent study suggests that managers consider organizational policies that tap into the positive potential of online work breaks but also establish policies encouraging responsible behavior such as providing limits on the time spent on online breaks or holding training on effective strategies that bring benefits from online breaks.
After presenting his findings at the Academy of Management meeting, Kim’s research was picked up by news outlets including the Huffington Post, Economic Times (India), Business Courier, China Topix and the Daily Mail. Kim was awarded a Society for Human Resources Management Foundation Dissertation Award to help fund his dissertation.
Lauren LaKer’S current research draws on the fields of operations research, management, health care services research and information systems. She currently has two papers in press:
• The Flex Track: Flexible Partitioning between Low- and High-Acuity Areas of an Emergency Department
• The Nature and Necessity of Operational Flexibility in the Emergency Department
Both papers, which are multidisciplinary collaborations, explore the utilization of physical resources in the emergency department. Through research led by Laker, which involved field observation, primary data collection, and the development of a discrete-event simulation, she evaluated the possible benefits of flexible capacity. The study results suggest that operational flexibility is a valuable tool for improving efficiency, and that flexible resource allocation should be considered in order to help emergency departments respond more effectively to demand variability and to mitigate resource-based operational constraints.
Her research is in press at Annals of Emergency Medicine.
aShLey otto’S research lies at the intersection of social cognition and judgment and decision-making. She takes a strong theoretical approach to her work, aiming to explain multiple theories via common underlying meta-theories.
A paper that is currently under review explores the intersection of a variety of different choice strategies that consumers rely on for decision-making. Specifically, Otto and her co-authors explore the commonalities of those who make decisions by, essentially, avoiding them. For instance, failing to make a decision, postponing a decision, or making a decision that does not involve action or change all represent this broader phenomenon of decision avoidance. Looking at the cognitive motivations underlying decision avoidance, this work finds that the ubiquitous bias to engage in decision avoidance can be driven by a consumer’s desire to achieve cognitive closure with a decision. Essentially, consumers engage in decision avoidance strategies as a quick yet justifiable means to resolve a choice and achieve closure with a decision.
