 | Dr Avi Shankar University of Bath School of Management ‘Type A and Type B PhD’s’ |
This section will then be wrapped up by Professor Steve Carter of Leeds Business School who will talk on ‘Putting it all Together’.
The second part will involve doctoral students working up their papers into presentations, taking account of the advice provided by our presenters.
On the Monday evening all Doctoral Colloquium delegates will join representatives from the Academy of Marketing with a BBQ buffet. This will be on the waterfront at the Royal Armouries in Leeds. The Colloquium ends with lunch on Tuesday 7th.
