DOCTORATE IN PUBLIC & BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
Shinawatra University is proud to announce its inauguration in August 2015 of a PhD degree programme in Public and Business Administration ('PBA'). The raison d’être of this qualification is to provide academics and executives with integrated managerial expertise from governmental and commercial sectors by drawing on the academic proficiency the University has acquired in delivering degree studies in both areas which are now being combined at doctoral level to address the increasingly eclectic needs of the C21 global economy, international relations and domestic/regional development.
Global economic and political trends are superseding old dichotomies between public and private sector. Directors and project managers in both increasingly need broadened perspectives which combine commercial acumen with political awareness and the ability to understand and participate in joint public-private sector initiatives. A range of factors (such as technological expertise, environmental consciousness, market liberalisation and the burgeoning importance of CSR principles and practices) is common to both sectors. This PhD programme has been developed against the foregoing backdrop. Full details of its components and structure may be viewed here.
The PhD will be taught over weekends at Shinawatra University's Bangkok campus. The normal length of PhD studies is 3 years. The next programme commencement / student intake will be in January 2016.
INSTITUTE OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION & GOVERNANCE (IPAG)
Shinawatra University's doctorate in Public and Business Administration is administered by its Institute of Public Administration and Governance (IPAG). A welcome introduction to the programme by IPAG's Deputy Director, Dr Atiporn Gerdruang, and comments made by students currently enrolled on it may be viewed here.
