Today's society lives in a world with unprecedented challenges in all spheres of human life, such as the exponential advance of technology, the increasingly frequent changes in economic cycles, climate change and the scarcity of natural resources, the growing inequality in income, the aging of the population and the increase in urban concentrations. These challenges directly or indirectly affect all types of organizations, both public and private, as well as the field of business. The reviewed program of the Doctoral program in Administrative Sciences, (DCA in Spanish), has as its main purpose to train complete research leaders who generate value through the generation of state-of-the-art applied knowledge in the fields of administrative sciences. This knowledge will contribute to the design of effective decisions for organizations, based on critical thinking and human sense.
In this way and aligned with the vision of Tecnológico de Monterrey, we seek that the leaders graduated from our program achieve this goal by generating the best knowledge that solves today’s problems with a global vision, that are sustainable, and attached to ethical principles.
