Hi,
Doctoral programmes in management and related disciplines are offered at all leading B-schools and also at several premier technology institutions and universities.
The programmes are ideally suited for the academically inclined who have some professional experience, intellectual curiosity and discipline - common prerequisites for any scholarly inquiry. These programmes do not require prior management study, and in fact students from diverse academic backgrounds are encouraged to apply. They are ideal for those who wish to go into teaching, advanced research or training as well as for those looking at consulting or post-research positions abroad.
While IIM's, XLRI, ISB and other stand-alone institutes offer a fellow programme in management (FPM), universities and the IIT's and NIT's offer a 'PhD' in management.
The difference between a PhD and FPM is similar to the distinction between an MBA and PGDM. Arguably, the number of prestigious FPM's is higher than that of PhD's. Do keep in mind, though, that for securing teaching positions in universities and colleges, UGC mandates that you have a PhD, while private B-schools and even the IIM's will readily appoint both an FPM and a PhD.
Regardless of nomenclature, doctoral programmes in management are structured so as to introduce students to major functional and general management areas and provide a thorough understanding of the concepts and theories underlying management practices. The first two years of the programme are devoted to course work and the rest to qualifying exams followed by dissertation work.
All the IIM's and leading B-schools such as XLRI, MDI. Several IIT's and NIT's, IISc, and engineering institutes (such as Delhi Technological University, BITS Pilani, Thapar University) have a department of management studies that offers PhD programmes.
