Choosing a PhD-program in accounting: coursework is not a cost but an investment!

When I started my PhD in September 2006 at KU Leuven, which is also the school at which I obtained my BSc and MSc in Business Economics, I was happy to see that I only had to follow 5 courses in the first year of my PhD. My reasoning at that point in time was that a lower amount of courses would give me more time for research. None of the courses I had to…

The Doctorate in Accountancy in Europe: 3.4

About Martin&#39;s note: economic analysis also allows for market failure and organizational failure. That is not discussed in his note. A candidate searching for a doctoral program will have far greater information problems in this &#39;market&#39; than the Schools looking for talent. Schools can easily require an entrance exam or a GMAT test result to determine candidate capability and promise. Organizational setup of Schools, conservative staff without a research attitude but with power, can block…

The Doctorate (PhD) In Accountancy In Europe: 3.1

In my 2013 note I &#8216;designed&#8217; a Doctoral program in Accountancy as follows, using the Tilburg Doctoral program setup as an example. I was in Tilburg at the time. The generic design is visible of course. Note that Tilburg has a 2-year MRes program. In Business and Economics in the Netherlands, normal Master programs are 1 year, as in the UK and Flanders. Elsewhere in Europe they are 2-year programs. After the 2-year MRes programs,…

The Doctorate (PhD) In Accountancy In Europe: 3.0

The first issue: how well are doctors in Accountancy trained in Europe? I wrote about this is in the EAA Newsletter in 2013. In my note I argued that the EAA should play an active role in the design of Doctoral training in Accountancy in Europe. I helped the EAA by designing an ideal Accountancy doctoral program for them. You can read the note here: http://www.eaa-online.org/userfiles/file/EAA-Newsletter-Nr41-2013.pdf You have to scroll down to my note on…

The Doctorate (PhD) in Accountancy in Europe: 2.0

What is the number of new Doctors (PhDs) that the 300 European Doctoral programs bring to the market every year? That we also analyzed while was working for EIASM. We looked for all areas at the number EDEN programs participants and, more importantly, at the number of applicants for the Doctoral Colloquia that the EAISM associations all organize. Some have three of these (the International Business Association: IBA). The estimate for the number of new…

The Doctorate (PhD) in Accountancy in Europe: 1.0

First that number. 310 schools and universities in EU28, plus Norway and Switzerland, that offer a Doctorate (PhD) program in Accountancy. How was that arrived at? It was done while I was Academic Director of the European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) in Brussel in 2013-2014. The number actually is the number of Schools we found that offer a Doctorate in Business, all areas. The EIASM is an institute that you should know…
