The PhD in Management, Banking and Commodity Sciences is divided into three curricula: Business Management, Banking and Finance, Commodity Sciences; the curriculum Commodity Sciences is divided into two areas: Managerial Area and Tecno-Scientific Area. The main objective is to provide PhD students with an advanced scientific and technical culture, characterized by a strong interdisciplinary connotation, highlighted by the interconnections between the thematic areas of the scientific-disciplinary sectors that characterize the Doctorate. The training course is aimed at learning approaches, methodologies and research tools specific to the social and managerial sciences, the development of scientific research skills and the acquisition of skills in the specific disciplinary sector. The achievement of the aforementioned objective is declined over a three-year period divided as follows: first year: in-depth study dedicated to the acquisition of knowledge and skills related to methods and methods of social research; specific training on the basic disciplines and characterizing the three curricula in which the course is organized. second year: analysis and analysis of the main trends characterizing the socio-economic context (scientific-technological, legal-institutional, paradigmatic-social); third year dedicated to the definition, elaboration and drafting of thesis work. Special attention is paid to international cooperation agreements for study, research and training activities, aimed at integrating the training offer. In particular, the previous international experiences are reconfirmed and further promoted, such as: - the co-tutoring agreement between the Universidad de Huelva (Spain); - the agreement between the Department of Management and the School of Information of the University of California -Berkeley, which provides for the mobility of students, including PhD students; - ongoing collaboration with the University of Economics and Finance (FINEC) in St. Petersburg and the St. Petersburg Polytechnic; - cultural exchange, also through the mobility of PhD students, with international Universities and Institutions, including: University of Koblenz-Landau (Germany), JAMK University of Applied Sciences of JYVASKYLA (Finland), Columbia University of New York (USA), Villanova Business School of Pennsylvania (USA), United Nations Office of Nairobi; - the promotion of research at international universities such as: University of Antwerp in Antwerp (Belgium), Stern School of Business in New York (USA), the Cass Business School (GB), Regent's University in London and the Bangor Business School (GB). To this is added the participation of foreign PhD students and the involvement of foreign scholars, based on the rich relational network developed by the Department's teachers. The educational path ends with the drafting of a doctoral thesis.
