Description
Copenhagen Business School is one of the world’s largest business schools. CBS has restructured and strengthened its IT research and education into a newly formed department named IT Management. The Department of IT Management conducts research within the following areas relating to IT and Information Systems:
- Design,
- Implementation,
- Information Management.
The faculty and administrative staff of the department primarily teach within the following degree programs: Bachelor in Business Administration and Information Systems, Bachelor in Information Management, MSc in Business Administration and Information Systems and the MSc in IT (eBusiness). The PhD scholar is expected to conceptualize the linkages that exist between social computing technologies and the operational issues and managerial challenges that are implied in their adoption, use, and benefit realization in organizational settings.
The three-year PhD programme at CBS allows you to conduct research under the supervision of CBS professors, supported by research training courses. The programme is highly international, and you are expected to participate in international research conferences and to spend time abroad as a visiting PhD student.
A committee of experts in the field in question will assess the applications. The assessment of the applicants will be based on the quality and relevance of the project, including an evaluation of the applicant’s ability to accomplish it. Following this assessment, the management of the department will select the winners of the scholarships.
