Innovation and Sustainable Business Management in Digital Society

The doctoral programme will be implemented in accordance with the online learning model developed at DOBA Business School. Study activities will be based on modern pedagogical approaches which facilitate active learning. It will be based on interaction with higher education teachers and to a smaller degree also on interaction with fellow students. Organised study activities will take place in the form of webinars, guided discussions in forums, teamwork, and independent presentations. Emphasis will be placed on in-depth study of literature and on independent individual work as well as on one-on-one consultations with higher education teachers and tutors.

The study process will be greatly individualised. Students’ work in professional and methodological and research courses will focus on in-depth study of content which is relevant to the preparation of the doctoral dissertation. Studies will be based on the student’s independent work, on a problem and research-focused approach, and on substantiated professional discussion with higher education teachers in connection with key challenges, questions, and professional dilemmas.

All course activities will be ICT-supported and take place in the Blackboard virtual learning environment. The Blackboard virtual learning environment supports the study or the educational process. It offers integrated learning, communication, and evaluation tools which enable a clear structuring of content and study activities and simple navigation and support numerous types of interaction.
