Doctoral Education Models Must
Evolve. But How?
Business doctoral education today faces increasing pressure to connect to a range of societal
and business challenges. Globalization, technological innovation, evolving faculty models, and
other changes in higher education and business practice further define the context for this
critical dimension of management education.
The Promise of Business Doctoral Education, a report from the AACSB International Doctoral
Education Task Force, considers these factors and insights from a comprehensive review of
global doctoral education models to:
•
Address ongoing concerns related to doctoral education purpose, capacity, access,
and quality;
•
Set a path forward for business schools (individually and collectively) to promote
innovation, sustainability, relevance, and quality in doctoral education; and
•
Provide insight into doctoral education design and delivery models
that best support different needs, experiences, and goals.
