Denmark: PhD in Corporate Governance, International Business and/or Emerging Markets

Overview

Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a vacant PhD scholarship within corporate governance, international business, and/or emerging markets, (these research areas may be combined). Research proposals could, for example, investigate topics such as: The determinants and effects of board composition. Private equity ownership: causes and consequences. Causes of the current financial crises: leverage, board failure and compensation bias. Managing innovation in Multinational Companies. Outward FDI from emerging markets. The role of emerging markets in the global financial crisis.

The Department of International Economics and Management will give priority to applicants with top-grades from their universities and to applicants who can demonstrate an ability to work with theory and empirics. It is also required that the applicant shows an interest in joining the Department's research environment, see http://uk.cbs.dk/int

Program Description

The three-year PhD programme at CBS allows you to conduct research under the supervision of CBS professors, supported by research training courses. The programme is highly international, and you are expected to participate in international research conferences and to spend time abroad as a visiting PhD student. See the CBS homepage for more information about the PhD programme, http://uk.cbs.dk/phd .

CBS PhD graduates are held in high esteem not only in academia and research institutions but also in government and business where their research qualifications are increasingly demanded. Two thirds of CBS PhD graduates go on to employment outside universities and public research institutions.

To be considered, the candidate should have a basic training at the Masters level (similar to the 3 + 2 Bologna process). An educational background in the social sciences is necessary. The applicant must have successfully completed the Masters degree before commencing PhD at CBS. The applicants must be fluent in English.


The application (see link below) must include a 5 page project description. This research proposal should contain a presentation of an original research question, a description of the initial theoretical framework and methodology, a presentation of the suggested empirical material as well as a work-plan.

In addition to the research proposal, the application must include the completed application form, copies of a Master's degree certificate or other certificates of a corresponding level, brief curriculum vitae (CV), a list of papers and publications, and one copy of a selected written work (e.g. Master's thesis). Applicants must enclose documentation for English language skills. Documentation of GRE and/or GMAT scores is strongly encouraged. For submitting GMAT scores, look up Copenhagen Business School in the GMAC register and choose the PhD Program.
All parts of the application must be submitted in four copies, except the selected written work, which may be submitted in only one copy. Electronic submissions are not accepted.
