PhD Programme2016-2017
The PhD Programme in Management of the University of Bologna offers a challenging and highly rewarding experience to students looking for:• outstanding training in management disciplines;• interaction with a renowned international Faculty; • full immersion in an eclectic, active and multi-
disciplinary research environment, the University of Bologna, which offers education programmes to students from all around the globe;
• placement services to prepare PhD candidates for the job market and open up academic career opportunities.
An added value of this PhD Programme is the opportunity to live for four years in Bologna, a city with a rich culture and heritage located in the region of Emilia Romagna, which qualifies among the ten most attractive regions in Europe, based on its economic potential, human resources, cost effectiveness, quality of life, infrastructure and business friendliness (European cities and regions of the future, 2014).
The PhD Programme in Management of the University of Bologna is a 4-year full-time programme offered in English. The PhD Programme aims to train research candidates who aim to become leading scholars in management disciplines at top rated universities.
The PhD Programme offers specializations in two
tracks:
• General Management • Banking and Finance
The PhD Programme offers candidates a broad and
inter-disciplinary education in the fields of business,
management and finance research. It provides them
with strong theoretical foundations in social science
disciplines and a thorough knowledge of research
methods applied to management and financial problems.
The requirements that Doctoral candidates are
expected to meet include: a) to attend core and
elective courses and pass the related exams; b)
to attend Department lunch seminars; c) to develop
a literature review paper by the end of the first year;
and d) to work out a detailed prospectus of their
research thesis (proposal) by the end of the second
year and get it approved. Moreover, it is expected
that Doctoral candidates will present their research
outcomes at research seminars and international
conferences. After the approval of the proposal,
PhD candidates are encouraged to spend a period as
visiting scholars in a foreign university, to be agreed
on with their main thesis advisor and the coordinator.
From the very beginning, each Doctoral candidate will
be assigned an academic mentor (a Faculty member)
whose role is to provide research guidance.
A tutor will also be available to all Doctoral candidates
to provide more general assistance and support on
organizational issues.
Over the last six years the PhD programme has already
attracted students from various countries in the
world. Most of our Doctoral graduates have gained
post-doc and tenured positions in top universities
worldwide (see the box below for a partial list) and have
received best paper awards at several conferences,
including Academy of Management, DRUID, Strategic
Management Society, QUIS Symposium, EMAC Doctoral
Dissertation, Fisher IMS and AMA SERVING Doctoral
Consortium, etc. Their research outcomes have been
published in top international Journals including:
Administrative Science Quarterly, Journal of Business
Venturing, Journal of Marketing, Journal of Consumer
Research, Journal of Banking and Finance, Management
Science, Organization Science, Psychological Science,
Research Policy and many others.
The PhD benefits from close relations with the
University of Bologna Business School (BBS),
that offers Doctoral candidates the opportunity to: be
part of an international community of post graduate
and executive masters students; get in contact
with research and innovation oriented firms; and
attend seminars held by international managers and
entrepreneurs.
The PhD Programme in Management prepares
candidates for research and teaching careers
at leading academic institutions, as well as at
private and public research institutions.
The PhD Programme offers placement services:
specific seminars are devoted to preparing candidates
for the job market, in order to open up academic
career opportunities for them.
