3 Vision - Ambition Knowledge makes the difference A school for leadership with campuses worldwide to train the decision makers of the knowledge economy. These pioneers will understand and adapt to their environment generating sustainable performance. A few figures > 6,245 students (largest French Business School) > 138 permanent professors (2 nd largest number in French business schools) > 55-million-euro budget (3 rd biggest for French business schools) > 20,000 graduates throughout the world > 268 publications, 70 CNRS stars > Over 65 student societies The company environment has changed radically giving rise to new expectations, and needs decision makers with a different profile. This is the world of the knowledge economy. Twenty-first century companies will need to be responsible, intelligent, adaptable and innovative. This is the challenge of the knowledge economy where man is back at the centre of things. This new economy means: > reinforced globalisation > a need for continuous innovation and a growing share of non-material elements, like brands, services and information, which will make the difference between winning and losing in business > a greater need for education and training to provide companies with human resources capable of innovating and managing to keep ahead of new challenges. This is why knowledge management and information systems are two essential components of the knowledge economy without them, companies cannot remain competitive. If companies want to activate these factors of competitiveness, they must also master the management of human resources, innovation and the immaterial... and they must not neglect their impact on the environment. Sustainable development is now at the heart of company strategy along with other societal expectations. Companies must manage risk and social and environmental responsibility. This means exploiting their possibilities whilst managing their negative effects. Our students will benefit from learning in a school where developments in the knowledge economy are central to the research carried out by faculty. SKEMA s programmes reflect our vision of tomorrow s world, a world whose opportunities are yours. Multicultural leaders prepared for a world with shifting centres of gravity, where cultures mix and diversify. We live in a global economy where the economic and political centres of gravity have shifted. We must now take account of the total reorganisation of the world economy which is being played out before our eyes today. The future of education lies in breaking down barriers and mixing between cultures. Future leaders must be able to network; they must be mobile and able to work with many different cultures. They must know how to negotiate with each nationality on his or her home territory, adapting to each new experience and learning to adapt to the next. We will continue to develop our international exchanges with partner universities, but we also wish to develop our own campuses across the globe wherever tomorrow s economy is on the march; this is because nothing can replace the direct experience of an internship in another country. We think that this is the best possible way to learn how to be truly international. Since September 2009 students have had access to five campuses in France (Sophia Antipolis, Lille and Paris), China (Suzhou), and Morocco (Casablanca). In 2010, a new campus in the United States will enlarge our students choice of destination abroad. Educating tomorrow s decision makers through a flexible system offering real choice to learners. > Producing ethical decision makers who are aware of their responsibilities and whose actions make a difference. > Being part of SKEMA does not mean only learning the basics of good management. It also means learning about corporate social responsibility and sustainable development. > Decision makers in line with new management practices who have learned through new pedagogical practices. SKEMA also means expertise for the future: innovative project management, information management, knowledge management and the management of client relations, management in a globalized system, mergers and acquisitions, risk management... > 3 Vision Ambition

6 STRUCTURE DURATION The doctorate studies last a minimum of 36 months or 6 semesters (180 ECTS). However, as most of the students are working professional, thus they are expected to complete their thesis in eight to twelve semesters.

7 PROGRAMME ORGANISATION The programme is organised around two main phases: 1. The Research Skills development / propedeutic phase enabling participants to develop research abilities and in-depth knowledge of project management perspectives. Research supporting courses, and advanced project/programme/portfolio management (PPPM) courses are thus proposed on ad-hoc basis. The advanced PPPM courses are based on the primary international standards. 2. In order to move to the second phase (deployment of their research) participants are required to develop and defend a full research proposal at the end of the first phase. During the second phase, PhD Students are expected to write a working paper before their viva. And they should have a paper accepted at a refereed research conference.
