About Martin's note: economic analysis also allows for market failure and organizational failure. <\/span><\/p>\n

That is not discussed in his note.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tA candidate searching for a doctoral program will have far greater information problems in this 'market' than the Schools looking for talent. Schools can easily require an entrance exam or a GMAT test result to determine candidate capability and promise.<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tOrganizational setup of Schools, conservative staff without a research attitude but with power, can block 'movement' to a better doctoral program. I have seen, experienced, this happening.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    A solution for these problems in educational markets exists: accreditation. It solves both (1) and (2). Accreditation provides the information the candidate needs and accreditation forces program changes for the better. Of course, Accreditation is similar to the EAA actively promoting a preferred design for a Doctoral\/PhD program.<\/span><\/p>\n

    What is interesting is that Doctoral\/PhD accreditation already existed in 2015. It had just started. By the EFMD; the organization offers the EQUIS label for MBA programs. <\/span><\/p>\n

    EFMD offers, what they call, an EPAS label for Doctoral\/PhD programs in Business; Accountancy included.<\/p>\n

    What is also interesting, and perhaps even more so, is that since 2014 EIASM has had on its website a link to the "European Code of Practice for Doctoral Education" in Business. Very interesting, because as I explained earlier the EAA is a 'member' organization of EIASM. The name of this Code was more recently changed to 'Guidelines for Doctoral Programs in Business and Management'.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Both the Guidelines and the EPAS requirements 'design' a Doctoral\/PhD program, that is very much like the MRes design (using the Tilburg example) that I sketched above. Indeed, both also conform to the 'world' standard, i.e. the North-American standard, for the design of such programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Do read the 'Guidelines' here on the EIASM main page: http:\/\/www.eiasm.org\/r\/about-eiasm<\/a> .<\/span><\/p>\n

     The EPAS Doctoral Program in Business accreditation guidelines are in this document in Annex 11, so you have to scroll down: http:\/\/www.efmd.org\/images\/stories\/efmd\/EPAS\/2017\/EPAS_Process_Manual_Annexes.pdf<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

     Hence the EAA need not look far to find inspiration when it decides, which I hope, to play a more active role in all of this. The EAA is based in the EIASM offices in the Hotel Métropole in Brussels; the EFMD has its offices in street off the Avenue Louise in Brussels.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
