Institute for Crisis, Emergency, and Risk Management

Crisis, Emergency and Risk Management (CERM) as a research and academic focus began in 1994 with the establishment of the GW Institute for Crisis, Disaster and Risk Management (ICDRM).

The CERM graduate education program began in 1998. It encompasses the research and professional practice areas that are commonly described as Emergency Management, Crisis or Business Crisis Management, Business Continuity, Continuity of Operations, Safety and Security, Disaster Response and similar disciplines. 

The GW CERM program is one of the oldest in existence, established by experienced professionals with strong academic backgrounds in emergency management and crisis management, systems development, systems operation, and assessment/improvement. It is the only engineering-based emergency management program in the US. While no prior engineering education is required, students graduate with a Master of Science (MS) recognized as an engineering degree, reflecting the disciplined approach to management detail required by technical organizations.   This is, in fact, the focus of “Engineering Management” as a professional discipline. 

Graduates are prepared for challenging careers in managing technical organizations, with specific expertise for managing risk for both an organization itself and the organization’s mission related to crises and emergencies. This expertise covers risk analysis, risk-informed decision making, managing a program that reduces risk during normal times (mitigation) and is fully ready to rapidly respond, control and recover if hazards or threats occur. Knowledge and skills are conveyed for managing in the emergency context of a dynamic, high-stakes uncertain situation, along with the expertise needed for addressing both a wide range of hazard types and the varied operation within governmental, private sector for-profit and not-for-profits organizations and emergency response teams. 

The remarkable range of our alumni’s careers demonstrate that the management knowledge and skills acquired in this program are applicable across this wide range of opportunities.

Research reports associated with ICDRM's mission are currently being posted; stay tuned for more.

MIT Sloan Experience

Now Reading 4 of 4

The PhD Program is integral to the research of MIT Sloan's world-class faculty. With a reputation as risk-takers who are unafraid to embrace the unconventional, they are engaged in exciting disciplinary and interdisciplinary research that often includes PhD students as key team members.

Research centers across MIT Sloan and MIT provide a rich setting for collaboration and exploration. In addition to exposure to the faculty, PhD students also learn from one another in a creative, supportive research community.

Throughout MIT Sloan's history, our professors have devised theories and fields of study that have had a profound impact on management theory and practice.

From Douglas McGregor's Theory X/Theory Y distinction to Nobel-recognized breakthroughs in finance by Franco Modigliani and in option pricing by Robert Merton and Myron Scholes, MIT Sloan's faculty have been unmatched innovators.

This legacy of innovative thinking and dedication to research impacts every faculty member and filters down to the students who work beside them.

“MIT Sloan PhD training is a transformative experience. The heart of the process is the student’s transition from being a consumer of knowledge to being a producer of knowledge. This involves learning to ask precise, tractable questions and addressing them with creativity and rigor. Hard work is required, but the reward is the incomparable exhilaration one feels from having solved a puzzle that had bedeviled the sharpest minds in the world!” -Ezra Zuckerman Sivan Alvin J. Siteman (1948) Professor of Entrepreneurship

Center for Business Continuity and Risk Management

Business would not thrive, if not for risk. However, disasters and disruptive events can challenge an organization's viability. Resiliency can be accomplished through proper risk assessment, contingency planning, systems security, crisis and incident management, and recovery planning.

The Center for Business Continuity and Risk Management explores the latest developments in the technology of risk, resilience and recovery to enable an organization to protect its vital assets, mitigate risk, manage crisis, and recover after a disaster.

Our Center aims to be a leading academic provider of business continuity and risk management education and a primary course of significant research and knowledge in the field.

Accounting & Management

Curriculum & coursework.

Our programs are full-time degree programs which officially begin in August. Students are expected to complete their program in five years. Typically, the first two years are spent on coursework, at the end of which students take a field exam, and then another three years on dissertation research and writing.

Students in the Accounting and Management program must complete a minimum of 13 semester-long doctoral courses in the areas of business management theory, economic theory, quantitative research methods, academic field seminars, and two MBA elective curriculum courses. In addition to HBS courses, students may take courses at other Harvard Schools and MIT.

Research & Dissertation

Students in accounting and management begin research in their first year typically by working with a faculty member. By their third and fourth years, most students are launched on a solid research and publication stream. In Accounting and Management, the dissertation may take the form of three publishable papers or one longer dissertation.

Recent questions students have explored include: the ways in which managers use retail-level marketing actions to influence the timing of consumer purchases in relation to their firms’ fiscal calendars and financial performance as well as those of their competitors; the role of accounting information in strategic human resource decisions; the evolution, consequences and institutional determinants of unregulated financial reporting practices; the effects of adopting rolling forecasts on forecast quality.
