Doctoral Education in Business – Why ’Go National’?
Debate over Competition versus Collaboration
How to compete over Ministry funding – Maximizing the funding of business education?
10 universities and indeopendent business schools grabting doctoral degrees in business / management
Small departments – a critical mass only at the HSE, TSE & Hanken (The Swedish School of Economics)
Challenge how to compete & collaborate
Background – history of smaller scale collaboration – ’EDEN’ Courses in 1989-90
Solution A national level ’network organization’

KATAJA Graduate School System
Ministry & Academy wanted to see KATAJA as one large GS
Faculty & departments at the hosting universities wanted to establish disciplinary GSs
Compromise six ’sub-GSs’
The Finnish Center for Service and Relationship Management (FCSRM) The Finnish Graduate School of International Business (FIGSIB) The Finnish Graduate School of Marketing (FINNMARK) The Graduate School of Finance The Graduate School of Accounting The Graduate School of Management and Information Systems Studies GRAMIS)
Each Sub GS (SGS) is a multi-university collaborative ’arrengement’ with a board of professors
Each SGS is in charge of selecting its GS doctoral students, and proposing courses & events to the KATAJA Course program, arrenging tutoring
The GS system is in matrix with Universities and their departments Students have to first apply & be accepted to a university Faculty works maintains & develops the SGS and the KATAJA organization
Currently (2009) 210 full time doctoral students – 35 Academy positions
Annual doctorating rate 28-35 students / represents 1/3 of the field in Finland

KATAJA Doctoral Course & Events Program
25–30 doc courses & events per year Often multiple & international faculty (20-25 visiting faculty) Very intensive format 3-5 days, or two linked events
Program structure Fundamental theory courses / domain - discipline Advanced special courses & ‘hot topics’ Methodology courses 15 – 30 attendants / course

A Course Announcement Sample
EMPIRICAL CORPORATE FINANCE TIME AND PLACE: April 17 – April 23, 2008, Helsinki School of Economics LECTURER: Renée Adams (UQ Business School, University of Queensland) OBJECTIVES: This course offers a doctoral level introduction to Empirical Corporate Finance and aims to prepare
doctoral students to do research on their own in this field. The course is organized around published and working papers in the field with an emphasis on econometric methods. Rather than providing an exhaustive overview of the field, the course focuses in depth on selected topics to illustrate different empirical approaches to the same or related questions. For instance using papers on ownership concentration and corporate governance, the course will highlight the following empirical themes: endogeneity, difference in difference estimators and event studies. The course requires a good knowledge of the 1st year Ph.D. courses in econometrics as well as some basic knowledge of corporate finance. The more detailed description of this course can be found later on from www.hse.fi/gsf
LITERATURE: A package of readings provided by the lecturer. EXAMINATION: A written closed book examination and term paper/exercises. The total points of the course are 100. In
order to pass the course one needs at least 40% of points (i.e. 40 points). CREDIT UNITS: 6 ECTS credit units LECTURES: 20 h of lectures. PARTICIPANTS: Doctoral students in finance. The course is also open for KATAJA as well as FDPE doctoral students
with sufficient background in finance and/or economics. The course is also open for foreign doctoral students given that there is space in the course. A maximum number of 30 participants will be admitted. If more than 30 students are interested in participating in the course, preference will be given to GSF and other KATAJA students according to KATAJA rules.
