Please note, any informal discussions you have with potential supervisors do not guarantee a place on the programme. If you have either identified a potential supervisor or had informal discussions with supervisors, please list their name/s in the proposed supervisor section of the online application form.
We especially welcome applications that will develop an interdisciplinary approach to addressing real-world challenges. For example, enhancing organisational sustainability might require a combination of leadership, finance, governance, accounting, and strategy. You are also invited to propose transformative research that challenges conventional disciplinary boundaries, to help solve real-world problems, contribute to addressing the evolving challenges of business with creativity and a collaborative spirit, and create positive outcomes by bridging practice and intersectionality of disciplines to help prepare leaders and members of organisations for the future of work, business and entrepreneurship.
