Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a PhD fellowship in ‘Business and Development’ at the Department of Management, Society and Communication (MSC).
Examples of research areas that the PhD project may cover:
- Entrepreneurship, management and innovation in developing countries and emerging economies; the role of local and foreign firms in promoting sustainable development
- Sustainability governance in developing countries and emerging economies; global value chains and sustainability; multi-level impacts (micro-meso-macro) of governance and their interactions
- Business, humanitarian interventions and human rights in developing countries and emerging economies; critical approaches to the business of development and to business activities in a developmental context
Multi-disciplinary by design, MSC leverages the synergies of its faculty to explore the conditions and practices of responsible management, organisation and governance in a globalising world, sharing a particular concern with culture, communication and context as lenses to understand the interaction and interdependencies of business and society.
MSC is a significant supplier of research based teaching to a broad portfolio of programmes, which includes undergraduate, graduate and doctoral teaching and supervision as well as executive education in the fields of:
- Responsible Management, Leadership and Governance
- Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
- Business and Development (with an emphasis on the emerging/growth economies context)
- Organisational Communication (corporate communication, strategic communication, leadership communication, marketing communication, international business communication) and Media Studies
The Department will give priority to applicants with high grades from their universities.

The programme is highly international, and you are expected to participate in international research conferences and to spend time abroad as a visiting PhD student.
