PhD in Business Administration and Management

This PhD is a 4-year full-time program designed for highly qualified and motivated students who wish to acquire world-class research skills. The PhD in Business Administration and Management is uniquely multidisciplinary, pragmatic and eclectic. It is multidisciplinary, because it combines insights from a variety of disciplines related to business management studies. It is pragmatic, because it emphasizes the abilities needed to integrate different approaches in order to solve relevant problems in a rigorous manner. It is eclectic, because it provides the skills necessary to understand which specific tools and theories are required to solve different problems.
