Doctoral Program in Sustainable Business and Management

Sustainability has become a key issue in contemporary economic and social development, fundamentally reshaping business strategies and management practices. Global environmental challenges, the growing demand for social responsibility, and the need for resource efficiency require complex solutions that go beyond traditional business models. The Doctoral Program in Sustainable Business and Management aims to provide scientifically grounded, innovative approaches to sustainable economic operations. Our mission is to educate researchers and professionals who can examine and develop business and management strategies that support sustainability through an interdisciplinary perspective.

The program's research directions include leadership and organizational management, human resource management, the sustainability aspects of marketing, and business decision-making, as well as the financial dimensions of sustainability. Doctoral candidates will also engage in research on corporate social responsibility, environmental and social impact assessments, and the sustainability implications of innovation and digitalization. Among the research priorities, special attention is given to sustainability issues in agriculture and the food industry, considering their strategic importance and environmental impact. The program encourages topics that contribute to the green transition, improve resource efficiency, and promote social well-being.

Graduates of the program will be able to analyze and develop sustainable business models with scientific rigor and offer practical solutions for corporate and institutional sectors. Therefore, our doctoral program strives to provide a solid theoretical and methodological foundation for scientific research. Students will acquire advanced integrative courses in the social sciences and gain proficiency in essential research tools and methodologies.
