Research Profiles
A feature of the MGSM Research Program is that the faculty members assigned as principal supervisors to higher degree candidates are drawn from MGSM faculty. The School does not outsource principal supervision and believes that this is key to the success of its candidates. It also ensures that candidates receive quality supervision, close attention and regular contact.
All supervisors have doctoral level qualifications and are highly committed to rigorous academic quality and excellence in teaching and research. They have extensive industry experience - often combining business with academic life - and are constantly working to stay abreast of the latest theories and knowledge within their chosen fields of specialisation.
With approximately 25 full-time faculty and some 15 adjunct faculty, candidates at MGSM can be assured of a wide range of supervisors from which to choose. It is always a good idea to develop a research project of mutual interest with the faculty member involved. As for selecting a dissertation topic, it is best to build the research on your strengths and write the dissertation about a subject in which you have very sound prior knowledge.
