Doctorate in Management Science (PhD)

​

The doctoral programme in management science aims to produce researchers capable of making a significant contribution to the study of managerial issues. The activities of the programme are focused on the different modes of understanding the globalisation process and technological progress, governance, the remodelling of governmental and public policy, as well as the management of a research service, luxury market, human resources, supply chain in a global economy, market structure of base products, etc.

 

Training will be centred on the deepening of theoretical and analytical knowledge, the development of a critical point of view and the integration of a work team. The professors and the research team of each department will guide the students.

​

The doctoral programme comprises seminars on different contemporary subjects as well as on research methodology which will allow students to have in-depth knowledge necessary for their thesis. By following these seminars, the doctoral students become familiar with the scientific approach.

 

The thesis topic must be an original research project that will contribute to the development of the field.
