The Future of Leadership: How Doctoral Studies Drive Innovation in Business and Management
This white paper, The Future of Leadership: How Doctoral Studies Drive Innovation in Business and Management, examines the transformative role of doctoral programmes in shaping the next generation of business leaders. In today’s fast-paced, data-driven world, leaders require advanced research skills to make strategic decisions, drive innovation, and foster sustainable growth. The European Doctoral School (EDS) offers unique doctoral pathways—including PhD by Thesis, Professional Doctorate, and PhD by Publication—equipping professionals with the knowledge and skills to address complex business challenges. This paper highlights how doctoral studies in business administration cultivate leaders adept at navigating globalisation, digital transformation, and evolving market demands, while creating resilient and innovative leadership pipelines for the future.
