Generally the operations people at good universities come from engineering or physics backgrounds. If you did HR I doubt you have the math required for acceptance into an ops PhD program. I could be wrong, but most operations people I've met doing their PhD are wizards with mathematics, and I have yet to meet someone who studied HR who can do basic statistics. If you think you have a sufficient math background then go for it, but if you haven't had a very rigorous mathematics education, then you may find yourself in over your head. That said, I'm certainly no expert when it comes to operations, and everything I have said comes just from personal observation, so it would probably be wise to contact a few schools and see what they say about the HR to ops transition. Good luck!

cause you want to have research as your career may be!!! and you really want to see what happens practically till energy arrives at people doors. Rather than joke it seems a valuable opportunity don't miss it. Start researching after while you will understand the relationship between these thing and you will understand WHY you have done that. any research at first seems odd a little and sometimes you feel lost but step by step you will understand what is goin on. I wish I had the same opportunity.

Suggestion.... Human Resource Management and the Military Response. ---focusing on organizational; decision-making, and/or disciplinary structure of the military. ---focusing on the efficacy on the degree of effectiveness in responding to natural disaster.

If you look at response to recent disasters in the US, a consistent issue is coordination of the various responding agencies. FEMA is officially supposed to take the lead, but this hasn't worked out very well in practice. So you often have state, local and federal civilian agencies, NGOs like the Red Cross, The Corps of Engineers, local and regional National Guard units, and soemtimes regular troops. It's a mess. So my suggestion is something like: "Command and Control of Military Forces in Response to Natural Disasters." Good luck.

Start with first principles. Natural disasters can include floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. Man-made events share many characteristics with these; think of a jetliner crash, a bridge collapse, even a war. These sorts of events can wipe out food production, housing, civil infrastructure (bridges, highways, etc), and local command and control. This can cause civil disorder. Where are the great strengths of the military and its people? Not in food production (although perhaps in distribution); maybe some capability in housing; *definite* capability in civil infrastructure; and OUTSTANDING capability in command and control (C&C), which hopefully translates into good capability to control civil disorder. So here are questions that occur to me -- see if they suggest research topics of interest to *you*. We have good examples and models of situations where military personnel take command in the face of natural disaster. Are there equally good models for how military personnel can *dis-engage* from C&C as recovery occurs? Does military response to natural disaster produce quantifiable improvement in military recruitment? What can be learned from case studies of situations where military response was selected as a response options when there were adequate non-military response options available? What are the implications of military disaster response (vs. non-military response) for civil liberties? for public opinion regarding the military? Does military response to natural disasters provide important training opportunities for military personnel? At all levels of skill and rank? Or do the benefits accrue mostly to higher-ranking personnel? What characteristics of a disaster indicate that a military response will produce better outcomes than a non-military response? Can you define planning criteria to support decision-making on when to deploy military response? How much input should military personnel have to disaster response planning? and how much should this be a non-military decision process? If a disaster is sufficiently large, when does military response begin to pose risks to overall civil authority? (i.e., when does risk of a coup de tete become real?) Just a few thoughts.....

I recommend that you discuss this with your thesis advisor.
