project management到底是属于哪一个学科分支

zc1223

本人是国内项目管理的研究生，想读美国的项目管理方向的博士，不知道project management 是属于哪一个学科分支？

到底应该是属于gerneral management 还是属于supply management or logistics?

有了解的大牛。麻烦解答一下，谢谢了！

I have never seen PM as a PhD specialization in B-schools. Perhaps you can try to redefine PM or narrow down the scope. E.g. PM in IT projects might fall under MIS (although I don't recall seeing PM in most MIS PhD program descriptions). Or it could be consider as under operation management?

Read some relevant papers on PM and see how the authors categorized it.

Hope this helps.
