The Doctoral Program at SME is structured to enhance the knowledge in the respective field of study. The pre-thesis course-work has two broad objectives, viz., (1) to train the candidates in necessary tools, methods, and techniques of scientific analysis and (2) to give them an idea about existing theories and practices in management and allied topics. SME’s Doctoral program encourages researchers to take up projects that are multi-disciplinary in nature, either amongst the areas of the School or from amongst the vast pool of research areas of other Schools at SNU. The core of the research project needs to be firmly grounded on a topic of interest in management. An enabling multi-disciplinary research environment and the fruitful academic interactions among faculty and researchers at SNU provide opportunities for the Doctoral candidate to gain from the knowledge pool of the entire SNU community.
