EUBI’s Executive Doctoral Programme in Strategic Management and Leadership represents the highest academic distinction for executives and leaders who aspire to redefine the future of global organisations. During the first year, the programme establishes a robust intellectual foundation, delving into strategic thinking and competitive advantage in markets characterised by uncertainty. Through advanced modules in research design and applied business analysis, doctoral students transform their extensive practical experience into a rigorous scientific methodology, enabling them to tackle complex challenges from the perspective of digital innovation, geopolitics and market expansion.
In the second year, the programme delves into advanced research and the development of original theoretical models. Researchers conduct an exhaustive literature review to identify new frontiers in management, followed by a critical phase of fieldwork and data collection. Supported by doctoral seminars and expert mentoring sessions, participants develop a robust thesis framework that not only meets the highest standards of academic excellence but also proposes disruptive and ethical solutions to the contemporary challenges of corporate governance and responsible leadership.
The final stage of the PhD programme focuses on the preparation of the doctoral thesis and the production of high-impact research. In this third year, PhD students become fully integrated into the international scientific community through participation in prestigious conferences and the writing of academic articles. Under continuous and personalised supervision, the process culminates in the thesis defence, establishing the graduate as a global authority in strategic management. Upon obtaining a PhD from EUBI, the professional positions themselves as an intellectual leader capable of spearheading the transformation of large corporations and making a significant contribution to 21st-century business thought.
