SIES | College of Management Studies

The Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Management Studies is affiliated to the University of Mumbai. The program is conducted under the directions of the University and is divided into 6 distinct streams of research in the areas of Marketing, Finance, Operations, System, General Management & HR.

SIESCOMS believes that classroom and experiential learning, unless put to test in the real world, is meaningless; it therefore draws upon its excellent ties with the industry to go beyond the University stipulations and offers a holistic research experience to the student.

The program emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach to finding solutions to research problems, drawing upon advanced concepts and methods from business management. Required foundation courses are taught in theory, methods, and research design.

Ph.D. students work closely with faculty in our research-led culture which emphasizes rigor, creativity, and innovation.

Our Ph.D. in Management Studies course outline comprises a shorter taught component followed by a longer research phase. The programme will allow you to expand and extend your knowledge of research methods whilst undertaking your own research and developing a set of transferable professional skills. Ph.D. coursework is carefully designed to support students as publishing scholars as early as possible in their doctoral studies. Coursework is conducted in English, and candidates are expected to actively participate in teaching or research, publication, and conference activities. Customized research seminars in the candidate’s area of concentration help to familiarize and develop critical understanding in both classical and cutting-edge concepts, theories, models, and methods of analysis. After completing a set of core courses and a variety of tailor-made seminars, PhD candidates undertake individual, original research on a dissertation topic that will contribute to the advancement of the chosen area of specialization.

Ph.D. students at SIESCOMS enjoy an academic culture of collaboration and research excellence. Ph.D. students study in small classes and establish close working relationships with faculty. If you are a strong candidate with an appetite for academic excellence, we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the SIESCOMS Ph.D. program.
