Introduction
The Ph.D. program in Business and Management aims to prepare students to carry out high-quality research in management and business-related areas. In order to achieve this goal Ph.D. students take courses in research methodology and subject area topics. These courses are designed to inform students of the latest research in that area. During the seminars, interactive discussions are held with the active participation of students. Each course ends with an exam. After completing the course work, Ph.D. candidates go through a comprehensive exam as part of the requirements for the doctoral degree.
Ph.D. candidates need to demonstrate their ability to conduct high-level research work. The dissertation has to include original empirical research. The dissertation has to be defended in front of a reviewer committee during an open session.
Ph.D. students are attached to a research supervisor from the very beginning of the program. It is the task of the supervisor to advise the Ph.D. candidate during the education, research, and dissertation phase.
