[Richard Klein]

The Ph.D. in Management Program offered through the College of Business
and Behavioral Science at Clemson University in South Carolina is
currently accepting applications from prospective students for admission
to the Fall of 2010 semester. The Ph.D. in Management program prepares
students interested in the Information Systems (IS) field for
research focused academic careers. The program offers full tuition in
conjunction with an assistantship to cover living expenses. Admitted
students have been successful
 in receiving additional money through
competitive university-wide fellowships. The program offers world class
faculty, a strong research orientation, a flexible curriculum, numerous
field-based doctoral seminars, strong methodological
 training,
personalized attention, and outstanding facilities in a beautiful
college-town setting with nearby mountains and lakes.

The IS faculty within the Department of Management at Clemson University
are known for conducting leading research in numerous areas in the field,
including: business process change, e-business initiatives, strategic
information systems, human computer interactions, inter-organizational
information systems, IT adoption/use/impacts, IT-driven changes in
organizations, project management, and supply chain systems, among others.
The IS faculty also hold numerous editorial positions, including senior
editorship positions in top journals like MIS Quarterly and the Journal of
the Association for Information Systems. A recent analysis of 610
different institutions covering 48 countries, 3404 authors, and
 5515
author appearances, finds Clemson University's IS program ranked number 1
among institutions' whose doctoral student publish in the 6 leading IS
journals, in line with or ahead of universities like  the University of
British Columbia, University of Minnesota, University of Arizona, and
Indiana University among others. This analysis covers the 5 year period
from 2003 to 2007. Clemson University ranks among the top 10 universities
in the world, based on the top 6 IS journals, with the William Lee
Distinguished Chair, ranked 4th in the world among 3404 researchers. Visit

Clemson University is ranked 22nd among public universities in the 2009 US
New and World Report. It is a highly selective, public, land-grant
university in a college-town setting along a dynamic Southeastern
corridor, and against a beautiful backdrop of lakes and mountains. While
enjoying the benefits of a small college town, many faculty enjoy
opportunities afforded by a 30 minute commute from Greenville, South
Carolina (a thriving mid-sized city with a strong industrial base, home to
BMW and Michelin) and a 1 hour and 45 minute commute from Atlanta,
Georgia. Clemson is committed to world-class teaching, research, and
public service, and continues
 to attract some of the country's best
students. The 17,000 students
 represent a diverse and capable student body
that can select from over 70 undergraduate and 100 graduate degree
programs offered by Clemson's 5 colleges. Clemson's business program has
reached top-20 status, according to Business Week magazine's ranking
(Spring 2007) of "The Best Undergraduate Business Schools." Clemson's
undergraduate business program is 19th among the public, doctoral-granting
schools on the list, and 45th on the magazine's comprehensive list of
public and private institutions.

For Fall 2010 admissions, priority will be given to applications completed
by the January 15th, 2010 deadline, with applications considered on a
