The proposal should be completed and approved no more than one year after completing coursework. Upon approval, a timeline for completing the investigation and writing process is established.

Dissertation: The doctoral dissertation is an original empirical study that makes a significant contribution to the field. It should expand the existing knowledge and demonstrate the student's knowledge of both research methods and a mastery of their primary area of interest. Dissertations should be rigorously investigated; uphold the ethics and standard of the field; demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the primary area of interest and the broader field of business; and be prepared for publication in an academic journal.

The Doctoral Advisory Committee is formed to oversee the student's doctoral research and is comprised of at least three Graduate Faculty members. Two members, including the Chair, must be from the student's department. The Chair is responsible for overseeing and guiding the student's progress, coordinating the responses of the committee members, and informing the student of her/his academic progress.

The Dissertation Examining Committee evaluates the student's dissertation and oral defense, including the student's ability to express verbally their research question, methodological approach, primary findings and implications. The Dissertation Examining Committee votes to pass or fail the dissertation and the defense at the conclusion of the public presentation. This committee is comprised of the Doctoral Advisory Committee and at least one additional faculty member from outside the department.

If any member decides to withdraw from the committee, the student shall notify the Chair of the Dissertation Examining Committee and the PhD Managing Director. The student is responsible for finding a replacement, in consultation with the Chair. Inability to find a replacement shall constitute evidence that the student is unable to complete the dissertation. In such a case, the student may petition the PhD Managing Director for a review. Once review of the facts and circumstances is completed, the Director will rule on the student's progress. If the Director rules that the student is not capable of completing the dissertation, the student will be dismissed from the program. This decision may be appealed to the Senior Associate Dean. If dismissed, the student may appeal to the Graduate School.

Students who are preparing to defend their dissertation should confirm a time and date with their Dissertation Examining Committee and register with the Graduate Secretary at least 15 days before the defense is to be scheduled. The Graduate Secretary arranges the time, date and room within two working days, and forwards to the student the appropriate forms. After the Graduate Secretary has scheduled the defense, the student must send to the Graduate School a completed "Announcement of Dissertation Defense" form, found in TUportal under the Tools tab within "University Forms," at least 10 days before the defense. The department posts flyers announcing the defense, and the Graduate School announces the defense on its website.

What initially attracted me to the program was the breadth of topics covered together with the opportunity to learn from the experiences of other banks, especially in North America. Having completed the program, I could not recommend it more highly — it easily surpassed my expectations. The program content served not only as a timely reminder of core risk management fundamentals but was also rich with practical insights born out of the experiences of practitioners. The content was delivered by a superb mix of academic and C-suite executives which blended to create a wonderful learning experience in terms of how to apply what we were learning in practice. Another impressive element of the program was the engagement within the class, which resulted in many insightful conversations which continued long after the allotted time of the session! The dialogue drew not only on the theory but also, and more importantly, on the hands-on, lived experience from participants. It was this “compare and contrast’ that really produced enormous value and insights. If you are thinking about the Advanced Risk Management program, I would say you should have no hesitation. In my own case not only did I learn a lot but I have made very good friends and a network that I know will support me throughout my career. "

John Kelly  Group Head of Risk Management, AIB (Ireland)

Antoine Avril  Vice President and Chief Credit Officer, Desjardins Group

I was recommended to attend the RMA/Wharton Advanced Risk Management Program by Mr. Ed Schreiber. I met Ed when I was president and CEO of a small minority depository institution headquartered in Houston, Texas. My small community bank was undergoing an amazing transformation and he was assisting me in addressing my staffing and training challenges. At that time, he strongly suggested that I attend this RMA program because he believed it would round out my experience and provide me with the blueprint needed in leading a banking institution. And he was right! This RMA program has provided me with all the tools and access to resources I need to be successful. The staff, academic directors, and the program team made me feel welcomed and valued. But more important, they facilitated a program that addressed risk in a very comprehensive and strategic way. And all the instructors were outstanding! I came into the program feeling a bit insecure and out of my league with my class of highly experienced and seasoned chief risk officers and managers from many of the top 10 banks from around the world — but ended with a new network of amazing colleagues that will be my lasting friends. The highlight of this program for me was preparing and delivering our Bridge Project. Our differences became our strengths. It was amazing! As I embark on my new journey of creating a new de novo minority depository institution, I will use each risk model to guide how I manage my institution. This Advanced Risk Program is not limited to risk officers only. I highly recommend and strongly encourage bank executives leading small community and MDI banks attend this program. You will not be disappointed!"

Laurie Vignaud  CEO, ViZ Bank

I head the team of credit adjudication and portfolio management at the National Bank of Canada. I took the RMA/Wharton Advanced Risk Management program to broaden my horizons. I had a strong credit background but not as much exposure to the entire suite of risks present in a large bank (operational, market, compliance, reputational, cyber, emerging risks, etc.) The program was excellent. It was really about opening your eyes on different practices and angles, to give you a more holistic view of risks. The length of time and the intensity of the course were perfect for an executive. The assignments between the sessions, and the relationships you could create with people, were just stellar. The learnings were actionable and I had a ton of ideas about things that I could really apply or improve upon at my bank. Another key takeaway was the quality of the faculty. I appreciated the mix of academia and real-life practitioners; it was the best of both worlds. I particularly enjoyed Professor Dick Herring’s presentation about what happened in 2007-2008, which gave a general understanding of the mechanics of what can go wrong. That’s what we have applied in our team to think about detecting patterns in our own bank. There can be “unknown unknowns,” questions I did not even know to ask. The program made me better at asking the right questions. The course gave me many industry contacts. It was a very diverse group geographically, in the types of risk in which people operate, and the types of financial institutions. This yielded really unique perspectives. The way you interact with the other participants, and the questions that they ask in class—especially deep domain experts in a certain risk that you’re not absolutely familiar with—to academia members who are also deep experts in that risk, brings you an exponential level of learning. I would give the program a ten out of ten. It was above expectations.”

Jean-Sébastien Grisé  Vice President, Credit Risk, Commercial, Retail and Wealth Management, National Bank of Canada, Montreal, Canada

I enrolled in the RMA/Wharton Advanced Risk Management Program hoping to broaden and deepen my perspectives on the practice of risk management. I’d developed my career in a singular risk discipline and wanted to have some insights on the other risk types. The program was a great overall experience. The quality of the instruction was first-class and the facilities are outstanding. Some highlights for me were working with Professor Bob Stine, who simplified some pretty complex issues around model development, model risk, the statistics of risk management, and thinking about how we can employ those ideas in our businesses. Coming from my background that was still a new science for me, so it was great to get that perspective. I also enjoyed hearing from Professor Mauro Guillen on global macro trends. That was a great presentation with important insights about looking beyond today and thinking about emerging risks and evolving trends. The program elevated the practice of risk management in a way that I think positions me to help my organization deal with new challenges in the financial services industry. I can better serve my company’s stakeholders as we deal with the pace of change. I really appreciated the opportunity to engage with the other professionals. I’ve been to other seminars and discussions, but at Wharton we had a really candid and open group, all willing to share ideas and concerns. I think those relationships are of incalculable value over and above the education. For me it was one of the great takeaways from the experience. I would recommend the program highly. I definitely see an opportunity to identify the right kind of talent within our risk management organization and sponsor them into the program for the lessons that they could learn, contacts they could make in the industry, and to help them understand the broader practice of risk management.”

Eric Ensmann  Director of Enterprise Risk Management, BBVA Compass

As head of operational risk management for a U.S. bank, I’m responsible for making sure that our bank has implemented our operational risk management framework. We work with all of our respective business lines to make sure that they understand their key processes, risks, and controls, and that key controls are designed and operating effectively. The RMA/Wharton Advanced Risk Management Program broadened my knowledge beyond just operational risk. The course includes all the different risk disciplines, from operational risk, retail and commercial credit risk to market and liquidity risks. It was a great curriculum, and the Wharton faculty and the presenters were exceptional. I particularly enjoyed the enterprise risk management section. Also, the fact that this program brings in industry leaders is a big benefit. It’s not a 100% academic; we’re actually getting real perspectives from different business leaders coming in. The professors had great presentation styles. Even in an intensive program where it’s hard to sit still all day, I never found myself looking at my watch, because I was so engaged. The whole class was very engaged as well. The expertise of my classmates as well as the presenters made for an overall wonderful experience. Another benefit is the contacts that you make in the program. These are people I can reach out to now because we’ve built that relationship. I can say, I’m dealing with this type of issue; how have you dealt with it at your institution? What I really took away from the course is that operational risk is embedded in all the different disciplines that we talked about. So whether we’re talking about market risk, commercial credit, retail credit, third party, whatever it may be, it was all relevant to me. Having a better understanding of those areas allows me to be a better operational risk professional. I can now better interact with those areas at my own institution. I also appreciated the facilities and the amenities of the program, and enjoyed the vibe of being on Wharton’s campus in May when school was still in session. I would recommend the program 100 percent. I thought it was fantastic!”

Christopher Nestore  Head of Operational Risk Management, TD Bank

The participants were a good mix of people from different types of institutions — I also liked that the program was held over two separate weeks so you have an opportunity to get to know people and reflect on course content at home before coming back to the classroom. There were two types of lectures that were really outstanding — one was star academic lectures on topics such as global risk the first week and ethics and strategic thinking the second week. The Wharton faculty really knew their subject matter and had applicable experience as well as being really engaging lecturers who connected with the audience. The other standout lectures were by colleagues from different financial institutions. Two that stick in my mind were the CRO from one of the major Canadian banks, covering risk appetite, and a board director of a major international bank who shared insight on the expectations and perspectives from the board and board risk committee. Since the financial crisis of 2007 and more recently Brexit in the UK, there is heightened uncertainty in how the economy might turn. Wharton’s program was very helpful in providing me with specific insights and an appreciation for common topics and current challenges in the industry, including how regulation works in different jurisdictions. Having that perspective means when I am talking to the chief executive or other directors in my organization, I’ve got a greater understanding of how a risk issue fits not only within our organization but also in a wider context. This is a premium program that I would recommend to the right person at the right stage in their career. It’s not often you get that time to really engage with the wide range of risk management issues this program addresses. I would absolutely recommend it to senior colleagues who are thinking about how to lift their career up a step and contribute more strategic insights to their organization.”

James Tebboth  Chief Credit Officer, Nationwide, UK

Dennis Winkel  Chief Risk Officer, Exchange Bank of Canada

With the cost of executive search fees reaching upwards of $300,000, effective retention tools represent a solid investment strategy. One of the most powerful tools for retaining top performers is to send them to the RMA/Wharton Advanced Risk Management Program . In fact, I’ve already sent 13 executives to the program. This program gives me a tremendous development and retention tool. By sending our executives through the program, we’re making a commitment to our employees about their personal and professional development. It also delivers impressive ROI in terms of building depth and experience on our team. We have realized significant savings by staffing senior positions from within the company. It is a world-class program that balances the quantitative with the qualitative, the theoretical with the practical.”

PhD topics for 2024 at Supply Chain Management and Social Responsibility

  • Post author By Blogs Admin
  • Post date December 11, 2023

risk management phd topics

In this post, topics for future PhD candidates are introduced. The topics can roughly be divided into:

  • Humanitarian logistics,
  • Supply chain risk resilience & security, and
  • Sustainable & responsible supply chains.

In Humanitarian Logistics we have:

Humanitarian logistics services

Logistics service provision in the humanitarian context is significant. It represents the first category of services procured by humanitarian organizations. Both commercial and humanitarian logistics providers co-exist in this billion-dollar industry. However, research in this topic is rather scant. How different types of service providers collaborate, how different services integrate to create a seamless supply chain and which service provision model adapts better to the humanitarian context are some of the questions that need further attention.

Crisis preparedness

Logistics for people in the move, temporary settlements, migration logistics

Forced displacement is one of the biggest humanitarian challenges faced by the international community in the 21st century. At the end of 2022, 62.5 million people remained internally displaced because of conflict and violence, and 8.7M as a result of disasters. In spite of great advances on humanitarian logistics research, little has been done regarding the logistics required during migration (people on the move) or for temporary settlements.

Humanitarian logistics in conflict and complex emergencies

Conflict zones provide particular challenges for humanitarian operations. The principle of neutrality can be tricky to uphold amid shifting frontlines and global political pressures. At the same time, access and security are important practical considerations for logistics in these areas. Siege warfare in particular makes effective humanitarian logistics a matter of life and death.  

Circular economy and waste management in humanitarian logistics

Humanitarian logistics, from the frequent use of air freight to the abundance of plastic packaging, can take a toll on the environment, particularly in the vulnerable places it aims to reach. Our research in this area explores circular economy practices for humanitarian supply chains, for example waste management approaches for field hospitals.  

In Supply chain risk resilience & security we have:

Resilient freight transport systems

Even outside of issues like the Suez Canal blockage in 2021 that receive abundant media coverage, there are many disruptions to freight transport systems that affect global supply chains. From low water levels to cyber attacks, our research in this area focuses on increasing the resilient of freight transport systems to allow the more efficient flow of goods.  

Security of supply

Security of supply is fundamental to the societal resilience of a country. Preparedness, and the mitigation of supply chain disruptions support security of supply in many different sectors. This topic further contributes to comprehensive security.

Supply chain risk management

  • especially with regards to cascading disasters, overlapping ones, and their incident evolutions

Medical logistics / medical supply chains

Logistics and supply chain management were much highlighted as a backbone to the functioning of public health care during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are not only important for e.g. vaccine distribution and related cold chains but also in regular health care provision, whether concerning pharmaceuticals, medical devices, or the deployment of emergency medical teams and entire field hospitals. Recently, more attention is also paid to environmental considerations in medical supply chains across a variety of topics, from waste management to product and packaging design for circularity, to sustainable energy solutions for medical cold chains.

In Sustainable and responsible supply chains we have:

Carbon removal de-circularity

Corporate sustainability due diligence in supply chains

Corporate sustainability due diligence in supply chains -the impacts of corporate sustainability due diligence on suppliers, upgrading and downgrading effects. -governing human rights-based approaches in global value chains -ensuring HRDD compliance in global supply chains, the role of procurement in CSDDD.

Sustainable and circular procurement

Procurement management has a unique ability to contribute to the CE agenda. Our research in this area focuses on procurement strategies that emphasize sustainability and circular economy principles, aiming to minimize environmental impact and promote the efficient use of resources.  

Sustainable innovative last mile distribution

Increasing number of last mile deliveries has negative externalities. Research that takes both multiple stakeholder perspective and integrated innovative technologies and business  is needed to overcame  these challenges both in urban and rural contexts. 

Technologies and solutions for circular, resilient or sustainable supply chains

Solving real world challenges requires real world solutions, that are implemented by the organizations facing the challenges. Trough developing a deep understanding of solutions that organizations implement in order to become circular, more resilient and/or sustainable, we reach a deeper understanding of how the challenges could be addressed. Ideally the research would focus on a technological/managerial solution, its implementation and impact.
