Introduction

This program, originally known as the Graduate School of Business Management Doctoral Program, was founded in 2001 at the College of Business (COB). Five departments collaborated to provide teachers and resources for the program. The Program was then officially renamed as the Ph.D. Program in Business in 2009, with Ministry of Education approval. The Program aims to enhance professional practice and research potential by offering a learning environment that will support business educators and practitioners. It combines instructional materials from the COB’s five departments: Business Administration, International Business, Accounting, Information Management, and Finance. Depending on their career path and areas of interest, students will receive training in the following study areas: Corporate Governance, Corporate Finance, International Trade, International Economics, International Business Management, Risk Management, Financial Derivatives, etc. The goal of COB’s internationalization initiatives is to improve students’ competitiveness and talents. Furthermore, by placing a strong emphasis on professional ethics and holistic education, the program expects to have a greater social impact and meet the country’s long-term economic needs. The Program in Business attracts students from all over the world, which gives students a multicultural learning environment and a range of perspectives to include in the curriculum.

Orientation and Development Direction

The program’s educational goal is to develop students who will be highly qualified managers in the business world, excellent teachers, and capable researchers. It is predicated on the idea that major/minor structure has a significant positive impact on the growth of analytical and research abilities. Students will have conceptual tools to help them come up with ideas for their research projects thanks to the structure. Each student receives a customized curriculum that includes many challenging courses, research opportunities, and a pre-defense stage for their original thesis. Currently, this curriculum provides four main areas of specialization:

International Economics and Business
Accounting
Information Management
Finance

Our Ph.D. degree program is divided into four sections: International Economics and Trade Section, Accounting Section, Information Management Section and Finance Section. Its academic research development and course design are linked to the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” of United Nations (Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs), focusing on SDG4 “Quality Education”, SDG8 “Decent Work and Economic Growth”, SDG11 “Sustainable Cities and Communities”, SDG12 “Responsible Consumption and Production” and SDG17 “Partnerships for The Goals”. It is expected to foster students’ integration ability across fields, emphasize environment and ethics sustainable development, recognize and respect diverse values, and fulfill their social responsibilities as global citizens.
