Copenhagen Business
School invites applications for a vacant PhD scholarship within the field of IT
Management.
The department of IT
Management cares about the interaction of people, information and technology in
all of its manifestations. We study how individuals, groups, organizations and
society can grow and prosper by capitalizing on information and
technologies.
We do not focus
solely on technical aspects or on organizational managerial aspects, but rather
take a socio-technical perspective and a multidisciplinary approach to address
a range of strategic, structur
al, and operational activities involved in
gathering, processing, storing, distributing and use of information and its
derivatives in organizations and society. We wish to experiment with IT and for
that purpose we have labs at the department to explore, build and test IT.
Teaching
responsibilities of the Department comprise undergraduate and graduate teaching
in Bachelor in Business Administration and Information Systems, Bachelor in
Information Management, MSc in Business Administration and Information Systems
and the MSc in IT (eBusiness).
