Ivan commented: "I am very happy to have successfully completed my doctoral studies in Management! My experience of working towards an international PhD degree in Pisa has been invaluable. The main factor in deciding to pursue my doctoral studies at the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies was the status of a small and elite educational institution. The opportunity to collaborate with various international partner universities of the School both broadened my experience and allowed me to benefit from the knowledge of diverse range of colleagues. My PhD work positively contributes to my academic career and also opens a door for consultancy work."
