This video is particularly relevant for those that are applying to PhD programs in Business Administration, especially PhD programs in strategic management. It is quite difficult what to write in a PhD application, but you should be aware of these following issues and tips to help you get into a PhD program:

1. Talk about your love of research. Generally, most PhD supervisors and the committee do not career too much about what you accomplished in industry, unless it relates to research. Also, if you have some weird fact like you where an olympian, that sometimes helps for your application, simply because it is easy to remember your application.

2. Read at least a few of the faculty’s papers. You should be ready to discuss the research of faculty members. This is going to be your job going forward, so you should be at least acquainted with some of their research.

3. Include proof of your ability to do research. The key is to show that you can try to do research. It is also a good idea to show how talented you are with you analysis or crafting of an idea.

4. Do well on your GMAT / GRE tests. While this is not as important as showing that you are capable of doing research, you will be surprised how much it matters to at least select through some of the applications.

6. Go to an academic conference to see what academia is all about. You will be surprised how much you learn by watching people at these conferences.

7. Build a relationship with faculty members. You want to reach out to faculty on a regular basis, and help them out somehow. You will greatly improve your chances of getting into a program by building these relationships beforehand.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.

[ Ссылка ]: Peer proofreading and editing platform

A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people's documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.

The goal of the platform is to get people to 'pay it forward' and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
