CDloacstsoprrooffBileusiness Administration (DBA)
Do you have a desire to change the way your business functions, and impact the world of business with new ideas and big picture thinking? A DBA is equivalent in stature to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, but distinct in that you will pursue applied research rather than theoretical knowledge. You will design organisational interventions which help address real-world challenges in your business. Following this, you will rigorously evaluate, assess and test the effectiveness of those interventions and communicate the findings so that both the world of practice and the world of research can benefit from your work. In this way, DBA candidates generate new knowledge – the ultimate criterion for the award of a Doctoral degree. Benefits You will become a scholar-practitioner, enhancing your organisation’s performance through evidence-based practice. Who is the course for? The DBA is designed to provide you with the opportunity to pursue the next step beyond your MBA or equivalent qualification. The course is for leaders and entrepreneurs with the desire and ability to make change in their organisation.
