Offer Description
Copenhagen Business School invites applications for a number of vacant PhD scholarships (2-3) at the Department of Strategy and Innovation. Expected starting date is 1 September 2024.
The Department of Strategy and Innovation’s (SI) research is focused on strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship and international business. The department’s ambition is to host an internationally leading environment for research and teaching within the broad area of strategy. The department’s research is generally cross-disciplinary. Faculty members have backgrounds in management, economics, sociology and economic geography. The theoretical foundation for research in these areas is eclectic, combining strategy, innovation, and/or internationalization theory with insights from economics, sociology, psychology, and economic geography. The department has 45 faculty members (professors, associate professors, tenure track assistant professors), 8 administrative staff, and 30 members of staff who are hired on temporary contracts as research assistants, post docs or PhD students.
The department puts substantial emphasis on the solid application of scientific research method. The department has a pluralistic approach to research methods that includes, for example, formal theoretical models, quantitative empirical methods such as (lab and field) experiments, econometric applications to register data or survey data, as well as qualitative research methods. PhD project proposals should be based on coherent theoretical arguments and contain well-informed methodological considerations. To find out more about the department please go to http://www.cbs.dk/si .
Project topics
SI particularly invites for PhD project applications pertaining to the following broad topics, although applications that address other topics within the research scope of the department will also be considered (please indicate the number and title from the list below in your project proposal):
- What leads individuals to create new ventures?
- What makes some existing organizations more entrepreneurial than others?
- Which strategies do people and organizations adopt to become entrepreneurial?
- What are the implications of the strategies adopted for the success of the ventures?
- What are the implications of the presence of such organizations for society?
A diverse set of factors can be specifically considered to answer the questions above:
- the constraints affecting entrepreneurial organizations and the strategies followed by them to engage resources in their ventures, namely in mobilizing funds, attracting employees, and founding and managerial teams;
- the contribution of abilities/capabilities for entrepreneurship and the extent to which these are innate and how they are developed;
- the geographical origins of people and organizations and their impact upon entrepreneurship, namely the forces affecting the creation of new ventures abroad and entrepreneurship by immigrants;
- women entrepreneurship, namely the different extent to which women engage in entrepreneurial ventures and gender differences in the strategies and success in entrepreneurship.
We seek proposals that will mostly use empirical methods. A particular strength of the department is in the use of large-scale microdata sets, in particular the excellent Danish micro-data, but other sources like lab and field experiments or other types of primary data like own surveys and secondary data collected by third parties can also be used.
About the PhD program
The three-year PhD program at CBS allows you to conduct research under the supervision of CBS professors, supported by research training courses. The program is highly international, and you are expected to participate in international research conferences and to spend time abroad as a visiting PhD student.
The PhD student will be enrolled in the CBS PhD School. The selected candidates will participate in the SI PhD cohort, which is a formal research-training program. This includes a package of foundational courses within the main SI research areas and methods courses (econometrics, experiments and qualitative methods).
CBS PhD graduates are held in high esteem not only in academia and research institutions but also in government and business where their research qualifications are increasingly demanded. Recent SI PhD graduates have been successfully placed at institutions such as Pompeu Fabra, SKEMA, KTH, Tilburg University, Leeds University Business School, the University of Utah, and NOVA University Lisbon.
Qualifications
The Department will give priority to applicants with the following qualifications: high grades from their universities, an educational background in the social sciences, and finally, the applicants must be fluent in English.
To be considered for the 3 years program, the candidate should have a basic training at the Master’s level (similar to the 3 + 2 Bologna process and a total of 180+120 ECTS). However, applicants who hold a one- year Master’s degree may also be considered for evaluation. PhD students who enter the PhD program with a one-year Master’s degree (60 ECTS) will be offered a 4 years program and will be considered a Master’s student for the first 2 years of the program.
General information
The PhD scholarship includes teaching obligations.
The 3-year scholarships are fully salaried positions, according to the national Danish collective agreement. The scholarship includes the tuition fees, office space, travel grants plus a salary, currently starting with per month app. DKK 29,000 (app. 3,800 euro) up to DKK 34,000 (app. 4,500 euro), depending on seniority, plus a pension contribution totalling 17.1% of the base salary.
The salary level and appointment is determined by the Ministry of Taxation’s collective agreement with the Central Academic Organization.

The application material must include:
- Copy of diplomas and grade transcripts from Bachelor’s and Master’s level education,
