Issues and Questions- International Mobility (pre and postdoc)

Which level to consider for agreement ?

Doctoral Programmes or Business schools or Research centres or Universities (in my Aix- Marseille case, Doctoral

Collegium) ?

- Funding

Who is in charge ? Where are the sources ?

- Accreditation

Whom to accredit ?

- Training supervisors

Contracting with whom ?

Who is the Target ?

- Placement : Academic and/or Professional

Role of a network

- Role of academic organisations (they are networks...)

- Interdisciplinarity required

Research QuestionsResearch Questions

What are the determinants for each model ?

- Being within a university or not

(dictatorship "sciences" ?)

- Research Philosophy

- DBA or PhD

- Size

- Job Market (e.g. Stern Business School financedept does not hire Finance PhDs from B.S. but rather PhDs in Economics,

Econometrics and Mathematics!)

- Country factor

ConclusionConclusion

- A PhD network architecture has to be designed taking into account the variability shown.

- It must be flexible, versatile, open enough to accomodate different models of doctoral education in management.

- Discussion with EUA is important for this purpose.
