Thank you, Meraki. That is all very useful. With regards to comparisons to social science programs, yes, the job market is one aspect. I'm also interested in other factors, such as the interest of faculty in this type of topic, the publishability in top journals, and other factors. But you're right that this is all very specific and hard to know in advance.

I am planning to apply to PhD programs this fall after working a couple years at a think tank (BS in Psychology). I have been looking at economics and sociology programs, but I just spoke with a business school professor who encouraged me to look into business schools. I'm interested in studying leaders, organizations, and industries focused on emerging technologies (e.g., AI, blockchain). Ideally I would land a tenure-track faculty job after graduation or postdoctoral research. I would be interested in any thoughts you have on this, especially - Are there any specific faculty or business schools that may be particularly interested in a PhD student working on this topic? - How would you go about looking into PhD programs on this topic? I am starting to peruse faculty profiles at business schools and look for relevant business literature (primarily Management, Marketing, and Organizational Behavior), but that's going very slowly. - How do you think business school PhD programs compare to social science PhD programs (e.g. psychology, economics, sociology) for this type of topic? - How specific are business school specializations? By this I mean that with psychology and sociology, you very much need to look for schools with faculty working on your subject matter, but I know that in economics, basically any top program will be good for studying basically any topic. How are business schools in this regard? Thank you in advance for your responses.
