These global case studies incorporate explanations about the origins of existing systems and current drivers of behaviour, employment prospects for graduates, the opinions of different stake holders about the relevance of the programmes, and future emerging trends.
Business and Management Doctorates World-Wide offers detailed comparative analysis of current practices to highlight reasons for commonalities and differences in different parts of the world with suggestions about lessons shared in diverse contexts.
