Doctoral Course
Dean’s Greeting
- Towards Rational Decision-Making
- In the context of today’s rapidly changing management environment, the question of how rational decision making is conducted at top management level is of crucial importance to all companies and individuals. The Doctoral Course at our research faculty has been designed for highly-specialized professionals, with practical experience in business and industry. It aims to cultivate within our researchers the advanced and yet practically focused decision making skills which are so vital in ensuring the survival of both companies and professionals. We do this by systematically tutoring our researchers in the scientific and theoretical methods employed in rational decision making.
- Specifically, doctoral students first focus on the behavioral principles of organizations, which are the foundation of any decision making process, and on scientific methods of decision making. Next, students look at the methods of information processing used in reaching a decision. Finally, students investigate the pragmatic application of decision making, using practical examples. Through the combination of these elements, the Faculty aims to nurture in our doctoral students advanced decision making skills.
- I very much hope to be able to welcome to our Faculty many doctoral students from specialized areas of industry, in order that they might learn more advanced decision making skills to apply in their professional lives.
