DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 62 CHOOSE YOUR QUALIFICATION WAIKATO MANAGEMENT SCHOOL DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Waikato Management School has an active and successful research programme. The University of Waikato offers two full-research degrees; the Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), both of which are actively carried out within the Waikato Management School. The MPhil and PhD degrees are guided and administered by the University of Waikato with support and supervision provided by Waikato Management School. The PhD is the pinnacle of academic achievement, and our doctoral degree is one which is internationally respected. The Waikato Management School has been successfully graduating PhD students for over 25 years and currently we have more than 90 students enrolled, and a number of them completed in 2008. You will enjoy the benefits of a respected and experienced doctorally-qualified supervisory staff. Currently, almost three-quarters of our equivalent full-time staff are PhDqualified. Most publish extensively and consistently in highlevel international and peer-reviewed journals and a number are involved in industry or government. We are also AACSB and EQUIS accredited which attests to the quality of our research qualifications. We are very proud of the accomplishments and success of our graduates. Many have gone on to academic positions in universities that are themselves a benchmark of our success, or to senior and highly-influential positions in business and industry. PROFESSOR STEWART LAWRENCE "At Waikato Management School we are committed to making a difference. We do this through research which critically examines current practices and lays the theoretical foundation for future, better practices. In my case, I am involved in research projects that examine a communitarian approach to formulating strategy for sustainable development in the Lake Taupo district; sustainable practices of NZ businesses; and how we can retain and improve intellectual capital in our health sevices so they meet the challenges of the next generation. It's all about making the world a better place for all of us." PROFESSOR JULIET ROPER "Supervising PhD students is a satisfying win-win process. Students get to work closely on a research project with a mentor who is interested and who has expertise in the same area. For staff, it’s an opportunity to work with students who can bring renewed perspectives and avenues to the supervisor’s area of research interest. My key areas of focus are sustainable business, sustainable development and corporate social responsibility and often the projects we work on are part of a larger, collaborative effort with and other students and their supervisors – which is even more exciting." What makes our programmes so successful? We believe that our support network for research students makes an important contribution. Our Management Student Consultant – Graduate is on-hand to assist with a wide range of administrative questions. Academic support is provided by your supervisors, who are backed by an extensive network within the School including the Waikato Management School Qualification Convenor Doctoral Studies, Department Chairpersons and Department Graduate Convenors. Library, database and computer resources and support (see page 71) provide important access to information and reduce technical barriers. We work to provide a supportive environment for students engaged in research by organising and encouraging student participation in research seminars, departmental working papers and local and international conferences. All are important in building investigation skills and acquiring the feedback needed to make your outcome of the highest quality. Our student research conference is held on-site, further contributing to our learning environment. Financial support is also available for many of our students. Scholarship support is common, with the University Scholarship Office having close links with graduate administration. You may be able to obtain support from your department for grants, conference money, computers and/or teaching assistantships. As many of our graduates can attest, you would be making a highly valuable career move by establishing your research experience at the Waikato Management School.
