Academic, scientific or professional interest: The programme stems from experience in a Doctorate with a Quality Certification organised by the Ministry of Education (2006-2011) and offers the possibility of academic and research specialization in the area of business strategy typical of leading national and international universities. In addition to the growing development of this area of research in recent years, business administration constitutes a latent demand in our economic and entrepreneurial environment. Business associations, public institutions and prestigious experts have underlined the need to train those holding responsibility positions in terms of tools for diagnosis, design and implementation of business strategies, and to spread, among them, values and attitudes associated to a strategic vision, a focus on the long term, and an international/global concept of business. All such aspects are considered by the masters syllabus.
