With this course starts the cooperation between ASSIOA and VHB-ProDok, the support program for doctorates in business studies of VHB (the Academic Association of Business Research in German-speaking countries equivalent of the Italian AIDEA). VHB-ProDok offers up to 40 courses, mostly in English language, on interdisciplinary method topics and monodisciplinary content-related and/or methodological issues in Management & Organization, Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Operations or Business Information Systems and Engineering. ASSIOA members can access VHB-ProDok courses at the same conditions as VHB members and vice versa.
