This virtual information session will introduce you to the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) that will be delivered by KMU Akademie, a top Austrian business school that specialises in business and management degrees.
What is a Doctor of Business Administration?
The DBA is the professional equivalent of the academic PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), but designed specifically to support participants in undertaking practice-based research related to their professional environment. While the knowledge gained from this research is equally rigorous to the PhD, it is distinctive in that the research findings tend to be highly applicable within the student’s organisation and/or within their community of professional practice.
Who is a Doctor of Business Administration for?
The DBA is designed to raise the level of professional capabilities of practicing senior managers and executives. It does this by developing critical reflective practice skills, by enhancing knowledge of leading-edge areas of business, and by providing the opportunity to develop their capabilities in practice-based research by means of a major doctoral research project.
