The management & organization (M&O) department at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland, consists of 20 core faculty including tenure-track, visiting, and teaching professors. The group's interests and responsibilities cover the following areas: strategy, entrepreneurship, organizational behavior, and human resources.

M&O faculty are proud of the department's very strong track record in research as well as teaching. As a group, we are particularly interested in and excited by topics such as innovation and entrepreneurship, intangible assets, management of uncertainty, and social networks. A recent analysis of publications in the most prestigious strategy, OB, and HR journals indicated that, on a worldwide basis, M&O ranked among the top 10 over the period 1997-2003 and among the top 5 over the period 2001-2003.
