The AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium brings together doctoral students from leading business schools around the globe to facilitate learning and networking among doctoral students and faculty members. Faculty members are invited by the organizers to participate and the business schools can send one doctoral student to the Consortium. Thus, being part of the Consortium is a great honor for all participants.
