Doctoral Degree Program Course features & Capacity development
In comparison to academically oriented doctoral programs, the doctoral degree program in the Department adopts a practice-oriented training approach. It designs the curriculum around three major fields: "Industry Business Strategy," "Industry Innovation and Development Strategy," and "Industry Internationalization Strategy," which include relevant practical courses.
For instance, the curriculum field of "Industry Business Strategy" offers practice courses such as "Special Topics in Industrial Development in Taiwan," "Special Topics in Corporate Strategy and Law," and "Industrial Organization and Leadership." The curriculum field of "Industry Innovation and Development Strategy" offers the practice course "Developing Strategy for Industry Innovation," which involves visiting various enterprises, understanding the current status of each industry, identifying opportunities and potential threats, conducting industrial analysis, and providing suggestions for the industry. The curriculum field of "Industry Internationalization Strategy" includes practice courses such as "Global Competitive Strategy," "Global Operation Strategy and Logistics," and "International Business and Management."
To ensure the best learning and training experience, the doctoral degree program invites renowned business elites and experienced teachers from industry, government, and academia to teach students. It also leverages industrial and academic research resources in Central Taiwan to stay updated on industry trends and developments. The program focuses on "industrial strategy development" as its main pillar.
To assist students in studying and researching the overall industry development and management, the program allows students with industry experience to identify the best approaches to industry-academic integration through interdisciplinary courses. It also cultivates students with practical experience to possess research and writing capabilities for diagnosing enterprises by combining practically verified academic theories.
Ultimately, the doctoral degree program aims to develop high-end international strategy and strategic planning talents needed for industrial development. It enhances students' capabilities by integrating practical experience into research and writing skills. The program further cultivates students' abilities to assess, diagnose, analyze, and forecast industrial strategy development. This is achieved through collaborative teaching, dual industry-academic instructors, enterprise diagnosis and case studies, workshops and discussions, industry forums, actual industry and business visits and exchanges, seminars, research papers published in journals or conferences, and other practical activities.
