PhD program in Management Engineering and Real Estate Economics
PhD program in Management Engineering and Real Estate Economics
The PhD Program Management Engineering and Real Estate Economics merges two specializations.
The Management Engineering specialization derives from the doctoral program in Industrial Innovation Sciences, which was established in 1983. Until 1996, it was the only doctoral program in Italy in Management Engineering field. This specialization focuses on research topics related to operations & supply chain management, quality management, service management, management of new product development, project management, technology management, innovation management and economics, mass customization, complexity management, organization theory, innovation strategy, risk management, development and application of statistical tools for engineering management.
The Real Estate Economics specialization derives from the doctoral program in Real Estate Appraisal and Land Economics, which was established in 1987. This specialization focuses on research topics related to valuation theory and methodology, valuation and valorization of urban real estate, valuation and management of historical architectonic goods, land economics, and valuation and management of environmental goods.
Since the beginning, both specializations have given great importance to the plurality of perspectives on managerial phenomena, to the applicability and practical relevance of results, and to methodological rigor. Both specializations maintain close connections with the peculiarities of the various fields of engineering and architecture. Both specializations are a reference point in their communities due to the long history and established collaborations in Italy and abroad.

Training plan
Educational programme and competences
The OVERALL EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME of the School overs three years and includes both compulsory and elective activities carried out within universities, companies or research centres at both the national and international level:
- General courses and lectures, mostly regarding methodological issues (e.g. statistics)
- Specialized courses and laboratories coordinated by the PhD Faculty and held by the PhD Faculty and/or other lecturers
- Specialized courses and seminars organized outside the University of Padova by other private and public institutions in Italy and abroad; in particular, since 2020, an initiative has been activated that offers seminars in collaboration with other Italian PhD Courses (optional)
- Summer schools shared with other national and/or international doctoral schools, which allows Ph.D students to get in touch with Italian academics and practitioners experts in the areas of Management Engineering and Real Estate Appraisal, deepen research and statistical methods and procedures.
The educational programme is defined each year by the Directors of the School and it is updated during the year.
The aim of the programme is that, along the three years, Ph.D. students gain methodological competences (designing and positioning innovative and complex studies; selecting and applying different qualitative and quantitative methodologies according to the research objectives; presenting research results to different types of audience, both academic and managerial; etc.), relational competences (team-working on complex and uncertain topics; working properly in different cultural environments, both academic and industrial both in Italy and abroad; public speaking; etc. ) and application-oriented competences (managing of long-term and high-uncertainty projects; detecting weak signals of ongoing innovative trends; multi-dimensional critical analysis of organizational situations; adopting an overarching approach, considering both technological and organizational and managerial issues, in analysing problems or situations; etc.).
Course catalogue
The RESEARCH PLAN specific for each Ph.D. student, developed in accordance with his/her supervisor and approved by the Ph.D. Council based on his/her specific interests, ambitions and inclinations, specifies:
-
The educational activities the Ph.D. student plans to carry out during the year, beyond those compulsory defined in the overall educational programme of the School; these activities can be chosen among the elective ones included in the educational programme
-
Research activities the Ph.D. student plans to carry out during the year concerning both the Ph.D. thesis writing and the participation to other research projects or other scientific article writing
- Educational and research activities the Ph.D. student plans to carry out abroad, including both specific projects managed by international researchers and the participation to conferences and workshops.
Individual educational plan Overall, the educational offer of the PhD Course consists of compulsory and optional courses offered by the University of Padova, as well as optional courses offered by other Italian universities (Summary sheet).
