4. Doctoral candidates Major field specialization The HEC doctoral program includes a year of specialization that encompasses coursework and graduate-level seminars, as well as a doctoral seminar in a major field of specialization. During this period, each student works closely with an advisor who helps determine his or her choice of courses and who designs a personalized reading list (i.e. a bibliography of fundamental research). The first year ends with a major field exam (late June), followed by a presentation of a draft of the student’s dissertation (in October-November). While writing the dissertation In view of highlighting research during the year of specialization, once dissertations are underway, several « Research and Debate »  sessions with the faculty will be organized by doctoral candidates. Moreover, candidates will be in charge of organizing a session with their advisors in view of writing their dissertations (methodology and/or argumentation), as part of the « Dissertation Follow-up ».

During the session, the professor will focus on highly pertinent aspects (for about 1 hour), followed by in-depth analyses with the given student (for about 2 hours). • Major field specialization will include a series of assignments that will be evaluated by the professors.

This involves formally examining the dissertations that are underway in the HRM department and providing students with methodology, theory and other instructive information. • Once a year, all doctoral candidates are requested to give an account of the work they have done on their dissertation through an oral presentation. It is to include the following points : • A draft (specifying research questions, hypotheses and methodology used) • Initial results • Difficulties encountered • Tentative timetable • The doctoral candidate is to prepare a copy of his or her work that must be submitted to an advisor two weeks prior to a 45-minute (maximum) oral presentation. • Each candidate is welcome to invite professors or students from other departments or research institutions if he or she cares to do so. • Once a dissertation has been successfully completed, the dissertation follow-up covers: «Oral presentation : what is involved and its modalities ».

9. RESEARCH SEMINARS • These sessions aim at enhancing the intellectual capital of each participant through experience-sharing and analyzing research conducted in the HEC-HRM department, in France and abroad. They provide for a cross-fertilization of knowledge among experts in view of promoting new exchange networks. • The Doctoral candidates prepare, chair and participate in the debates along with the HRM faculty.
