Overview

Doctoral Management students at National University of Singapore need to reflect on the principles and tools that they were taught, and ask why something works the way it does. Investigating this question methodically and reaching a tentative conclusion constitutes research.

Features

In answering these questions, researchers generate new knowledge that ultimately benefits practising managers in one form or the other.

A well-trained PhD not only generates new knowledge but also effectively communicates this knowledge to the students.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Research in a business school is not very different from research carried out in social and physical sciences.

The same philosophy of science guides the research enterprise in the business school. Business research is eclectic and draws on a number of disciplines such as psychology, sociology, economics, political science, statistics, mathematics, and computer science.

The purpose is to understand the world of business in a holistic fashion and answer the interesting questions without being hemmed in by disciplinary boundaries.
