Ph.D. student in Management at DISA, Matilde Rapezzi, has just been selected among numerous applications worldwide to participate in the AMA Sheth Doctoral Consortium to be held this year at the BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo.

The high-level and very selective doctoral colloquium testifies to the excellent work done by Matilde on her doctoral thesis in Marketing.

The AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium, in fact, is the leading consortium in the marketing discipline, which brings together the very best doctoral students from business schools in the United States, Canada, Europe, and the rest of the world.

BI Norwegian Business School (the host university of the 57th AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium) invited the Alma Mater and several other universities around the world to submit an application for one exceptional doctoral student. Each student was nominated through a motivational letter. In particular, Professors Chiara Orsingher and Gabriele Pizzi applied for Matilde. The host institution held the final decision on which students to admit to the Doctoral Consortium: Matilde is among them.

Matilde is a Ph.D. student in marketing at the Department of Management. She holds a BSc in Statistical Sciences and an MSc in Statistics, Economics, and Business from the University of Bologna. Starting in March 2023, she will spend a visiting period at the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam. Her research interests mainly revolve around consumer psychology, with a particular focus on impression management, identity-signaling behavior, and social media marketing.

“I am sure this experience will broaden my view and challenge my existing research paradigms. I look forward to being exposed to different theories and viewpoints and meeting the scholars who have contributed the most to the marketing literature. Last but not least, I will interact with doctoral students from all over the world, which is another reason why I believe this experience will be unique”, Matilde commented on this result.
