On July 1st 2006, Grenoble Ecole de Management set up its own doctoral school, an administrative structure in charge of developing and managing the existing DBA programs.
Since 1993, Grenoble Ecole de Management has concentrated on DBA programs which are run in Europe and in China with research workshops also held in the USA.
Mission of the DBA program
The DBA has its own mission statement that was recently approved by a broad range of stakeholders:
|
"The DBA provision at Grenoble Ecole de Management offers senior managers, independent consultants and senior academics an opportunity to leverage their careers and/or to make a transition into the highest levels of academia.
Students will carry out long-term research projects that are highly relevant to management practice and based on up-to-date scientific knowledge.
|
Their research will make academically-recognized intellectual contributions in the fields of technology, innovation and organizational change, thus providing private and public organizations with doctoral dissertations that address their practice and policy needs."
Approved by the Business Advisory Council 14//12/2006
