Layout of the programme
Year 1 – Learning the Ropes: Fundamental courses & Familiarisation with your research topic
Fundamental coursework
The first year includes up to 6 intensive courses, providing you basic skills and knowledge that you need for a researcher career. The courses cover such fundamental theories and research methods that are relevant for you regardless of your own discipline/specialisation and regardless of your own research topic.
Examples of these courses include: Basics of Business Research Methods (quantitative and qualitative methods), Economics and Business Studies, Social Psychology.
The six courses are organized during six intensive seminars, each lasting from a couple of days to a week (October, December, January, February, April, May), at one of our campuses : Reims, Rouen and Paris.
Familiarisation with your own research topic
During the first year, you will also start to work with the faculty members will be assigned during Year 1 as your personal supervisors. This way you will start to familiarise yourself with the topic of your research project, which you will be writing your doctoral thesis on. The precise topic(s) will be decided in collaboration with your supervisors, who represent one of NEOMA’s Areas of Excellence. Towards the end of the first year, you will start preparing (in collaboration with your supervisors) a research plan for this thesis research of yours.
Research assistance tasks
During the first year of studies, you will be conducting a limited number of research assistance tasks for the Area of Excellence of NEOMA’s which your own thesis research project and topic relates to. These research assistance tasks may not, however, directly relate to your own thesis research. At any rate, the research assistance tasks will provide you with additional training in various researcher skills, such as conducting systematic literature reviews, administering surveys or experiments, cleaning and reorganising data, and analysing and visualising data.
Year 2 – Selected individual courses and start of empirical research
Selected individual courses and learning modules
Whereas the coursework in Year 1 takes place at NEOMA, during Year 2, you may conduct a limited number (2) of courses or learning modules (a) either as independent learning courses, or (b) as organized by external parties (e.g., other French or international business schools or universities; doctoral education networks like EIASM.net). These studies are meant to provide you with a tailored set of specialised skills and knowledge that your own doctoral thesis research project especially calls for (e.g., special methodological skills).
Submitting/defending your own research plan
Before the beginning of the second half of Year 2, you will be required to complete, in collaboration with your supervisors, the preparation of a research plan for your own doctoral thesis research. During the first half of Year 2, you will submit it for internal review at NEOMA, and defend it in a research seminar of your own Department. The research plan shall include a general literature review about your topic, study designs and plans for the empirical studies to be conducted, and plan for the structure of the doctoral thesis (including planned outline of the contents of three articles for article-based theses).
Starting with your empirical research
In line with the aforementioned research plan, you will start gathering or compiling the first data for your thesis research. This will be done in close collaboration with your supervisors. (In the rare case that your research plan did not include empirical studies, you will be starting your non-empirical research here.) Before the beginning of Year 3, you will be required to submit your first research article to an international academic conference or peer-reviewed journal. This article can be a conceptual study or an empirical research paper that is based on your first data set.
Research assistance tasks
Like during the first year, you will be conducting a limited number of research assistance tasks for an Area of Excellence of NEOMA’s during the second year as well.
Year 3 and Year 4 – Research for and writing of the doctoral thesis
Selected individual courses and learning modules
During Year 3, you will take one external course or learning module organised by an external institution, to equip you with the specialized skills and knowledge that your doctoral thesis research project calls for.
Researching and writing
The bulk of the empirical research work as well as the majority of writing work for your doctoral thesis will take place during Year 3 and Year 4. Both the conduct of research (gathering/compiling data, analysing data, modelling) and the writing work will be done with intensive support from your supervisors. At the end of Year 3, you are expected to submit another research article to an international academic conference or peer-reviewed journal.
Defending the thesis
Ultimately, when you have three research articles accepted for presentation at international academic conferences or in the review process of high-quality peer-reviewed journals, you may submit your thesis to a jury/committee at NEOMA. (If your thesis is not article-based, but instead takes the monograph/treatise format, your supervisors will determine when the thesis can be submitted to the jury). Some months later, you will defend your thesis in front of the jury/committee consisting of two external experts of your research topic (from other institutions than NEOMA) as well as two internal experts (other faculty members of NEOMA than your supervisors).
Teaching and teaching assistance tasks
During Year 3 and Year 4, most PhD candidates will be teaching a course directed at NEOMA’s MSc or BSc students, on a topic related to their expertise and research. Alternatively, you may be supporting and assisting NEOMA’s faculty members on their courses. Getting teaching experience will be highly useful for you when applying for a job after graduation.
Research assistance tasks
Like during the first and second year, you may be conducting as well a limited number of research assistance tasks for an Area of Excellence during the third and fourth year.
Scholarly visit abroad
Typically during the third year of studies, you will be making a few months’ scholarly visit to a business school abroad, as recommended by your supervisor. Financial support will be available for travel costs.
Evaluation procedures
The programme is sanctioned by several levels of validation:
- continuous assessment: evaluation of each module of the programme in the form of examinations or individual assignments,
- the submission of a literature review, or Paper I, and of a thesis proposal at the beginning of the second year and their presentation during a seminar organized by one of the Area of Excellence,
- the submission of a doctoral research project, or Paper II, at the beginning of the third year, and the presentation in front of a committee made up of 2 internal examiners,
- the submission of a doctoral thesis at the end of the fourth year and subsequent defense: submission of a written manuscript and oral defense before a jury made up of two internal reviewers and two external reviewers.
At the end of the training and after validation of these different levels of validation, the PhD diploma is awarded to the participants.
- Percentage of students sitting final examinations*: 100%
- Graduation rate*: 100%

Call for projects (Research Topics)
Vast amounts of high-frequency and high-dimensional business and financial data pose major challenges for analysis, storage, and interpretation. Such data are characterized by complex dependencies across time, entities, or space, making standard modeling approaches difficult to scale and interpret. This PhD project focuses on exploiting latent structure in multidimensional data to compress information efficiently without significant loss. A central objective is to reduce dimensionality across meaningful structural dimensions while preserving interpretability and statistical relevance of the data. By doing so, we aim to address both methodological efficiency and practical usability in data-rich environments.
The research builds on tensor-based representations of multivariate time series to model high-dimensional data in a structured and parsimonious way. Such representations allow multidimensional dependencies to be captured explicitly while avoiding the proliferation in the number of parameters. By combining low-rank tensor decompositions with statistical and optimization-based techniques, the project develops scalable estimation and inference methods suitable for dynamic, correlated business and financial data. Focus is given to computational efficiency and interpretability in high-dimensional settings.
The expected outcomes of the project are twofold: (i) the development of methods that leverage structural information in high-dimensional data to achieve efficient compression without loss of relevant information; and (ii) the application of these methodologies to financial and business data to enhance economic interpretability. Together, these outcomes enable clearer insights along a smaller set of economically relevant dimensions.

The integration of explainable AI (XAI) and generative AI (GAI) presents transformative potential – and critical challenges – for organizational knowledge management. This project investigates how to calibrate accuracy–explainability trade-offs, customize transparency for diverse user roles, and embed fairness- and privacy-aware governance. It addresses the tension between model fidelity and cognitive load, the impact of explanation granularity on trust and data disclosure, and the risks of over-reliance on GAI for knowledge creation and transfer. By examining these dynamics, the research seeks to develop frameworks that enhance both the effectiveness and ethical robustness of AI-augmented knowledge systems.
The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining scoping reviews, laboratory and field experiments, fairness audits, privacy-calculus experiment, interviews and surveys, and case studies. These methods will assess domain-specific thresholds, user trust mechanisms, bias mitigation, and the organizational impact of GAI on knowledge workflows.
Outcomes include actionable guidelines for role-adaptive explainability, bias detection and mitigation protocols, and workflow redesigns that optimize GAI’s contribution to knowledge transfer. The research will advance both theory and practice in AI-driven knowledge management, offering organizations evidence-based strategies to deploy AI responsibly and effectively.

Project linked to the Area of Excellence: AI, Data Science & Business
Objective: This project seeks to examine how digital technology adoption influences firm resilience and to explicate the mechanisms through which digital transformation helps firms to anticipate, adapt to and recover from environmental disruptions. The project will draw on the resilience literature on the one hand and the digitalization literature on the other hand. The study aims to develop an integrated model that links the adoption of digital technologies to multidimensional resilience outcomes: preparedness, response and recovery. The potential research questions are the following:
How does the adoption of digital technologies influence firm resilience in the face of external shocks and environmental turbulence?
Through which organisational capabilities or mechanisms does digital adoption enhance adaptive capacity and recovery performance?
To what extent do industry characteristics, innovation orientation, international orientation or firm size moderate the relationship between digital adoption and resilience?
Method: The project will adopt a mixed-methods research design. Quantitative data will be collected through a survey. A survey instrument comprising questions and established scales will be designed and set up on an online platform. Data will be collected in France and potentially in other countries. Semi-structured interviews with senior managers will be conducted either before or after the data collection through a survey.
Expected outcomes: The project aims to advance knowledge on how technology impacts strategic outcomes such as resilience. Practically, it will offer insights to managers on how to leverage digital technologies to enhance resilience outcomes.

Entrepreneurship research has dominantly followed a “narrow perspective” in defining what constitutes the phenomenon of entrepreneurship. The focus has also been largely on the European and/or US American contexts. Recently, scholars have called for a broader conceptualization of entrepreneurship to understand what represents most entrepreneurship in the world - “everyday entrepreneurship”. This is because research findings from developed countries' contexts might not be equally applicable in developing countries due to distinct market dynamic that are influenced by institutional, historical, and/or cultural factors. Given the importance to improve entrepreneurial activities in developing countries to enhance economic and social development, as well as to unveil the diversity of entrepreneurial activities, investigating this matter is of high practical and theoretical relevance.
The list of possible research questions includes, but not limited to:
How does technology (e.g. mobile, internet, digitalization) affect everyday entrepreneurship in developing countries?
How do adversity and extreme conditions (e.g. war, crisis) influence the development of entrepreneurial activities? How could entrepreneurship help to overcome adverse and extreme conditions?
How does understanding the phenomenon of entrepreneurial activities in developing countries help us to revisit entrepreneurship theories?
How do informal and formal institutions impact entrepreneurial activities in developing countries?
What is the relationship between informal and formal entrepreneurial activities?
How do entrepreneurial activities in developing countries improve the well-being of underprivileged people and their communities?
Candidates are welcome to use either qualitative or quantitative method as long as it suits the proposed research question. Candidates could also use either primary or secondary data (existing data bases, archival data, etc.).

As society places increasing emphasis on sustainability, both in everyday decision-making and in expectations placed on firms, remanufactured goods (i.e., returned products that are inspected, restored, and re-certified) are central to closed-looped supply chains offering an important opportunity for positive environmental impact. They carry a significantly lower carbon footprint and require far fewer resources to produce than new products. Yet consumer adoption often lags because prior use can trigger quality uncertainty, perceived risk, and low trust in the remanufacturing process. This PhD work will investigate mechanisms and moderating factors that influence consumers’ acceptance of remanufactured products.
Vignette-based experiments (Prolific/CloudResearch) and laboratory studies will be used to measure consumer acceptance through realistic decision scenarios and hands-on product inspection. To supplement consumer experiments, machine learning techniques will be used to scrape and perform computational analysis of public social-media discourse to capture broader sentiment trends and shifts in public perceptions of remanufactured goods.
By combining perspectives from supply chain management and consumer marketing, the project aims to generate a more integrated understanding of how consumers evaluate the quality, risk, and credibility of remanufactured goods. From a business perspective, results will provide evidence-based guidance for firms to design remanufacturing programs and communications to generate revenue from previous manufacture products while having a positive impact on the environment. Improving acceptance of remanufactured goods supports waste reduction and sustainability transitions.
Interest in interdisciplinary research at the intersection of supply chain management and marketing; familiarity with experiments and quantitative analysis; basic programming (Python/R) is an advantage.
