Training Objectives

The general objective of the PhD programme in Accounting&Management is to train researchers able to contribute to innovation in the field of scientific research in the disciplines of accounting and management and who can carry out research activities in Italian and foreign universities, in public and private study centres, or hold qualified positions in companies and public institutions.  

The PhD programme in Accounting&Management is characterised by the provision of highly specialised training activities in English aimed at the dissemination of knowledge, methods and methodologies for research.
In particular, extreme attention is paid to research methods in the field of management and accounting, both quantitative and qualitative.

The research activity will be developed on one of the following thematic areas:
- accounting and performance measurement
- management
- marketing & organisation
- finance
- supply chain management

The underlying logic of the training course sees a double level of content delivery: classics and trending
topics. The "classic" lectures are intended to provide the fundamental skills relating to the specific topic; the "trending topic" lectures, on the other hand, aim to open up the focus to new lines of research,
by delving into specific topics within the current international scientific debate.
