Program Outline
The specialization in Operations Management, Logistics and Supply Chain Management aims at developing and testing new concepts to be applied to Operations Management, Lean Management, Procurement and Purchasing Strategies, Supplier Qualification Approaches, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Project Management, Service Management and, also, to Management of Innovation and Technology. Moreover, the program and its faculty are directed towards the creation of the adequate conditions to motivate a qualified set of masters to access the PhD degree, i.e. the third cycle of Bologna.
The degree is structured around three major objectives:
• Making available a selected set of knowledge and research skills, so that the PhD students can develop independent, skilled and innovative research that generates significant contributions;
• Encouraging and supporting PhD students in communicating the results of their research through the presentation of papers at conferences as well as through the publication of articles in journals;
• Enhancing either the academic or professional careers of the candidates by providing world class competences and state-of-the-art knowledge.
Why choosing the Ph.D. in Management with specialization in Operations Management, Logistics and Supply Chain Management?

|
The education program concerns the theoretical, conceptual, methodological and research dimensions providing the tools to investigate relevant gaps of the previous set scope, in order to produce innovative frameworks and practices that should be able to push forward both the academic and professional careers of the candidates. |
