MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION – PHD INTRODUCTION
With the world’s increasingly complex problems and resource limitations, there is a dire need for scholars who are qualified both to train the next generation of professionals for public service and to expand society’s store of knowledge about management and administration.
Society therefore needs critical minds trained at advanced levels with skills and competencies in creating new knowledge and in analyzing the environment in which management and administration take place. The PhD in Management and Administration is designed to train such teachers and researchers as well as practitioners with broad knowledge, competencies and skills in management and administration. The programme is interdisciplinary in its focus, especially in the teaching/coursework component.
