The 180 ECTS credits Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program aims to provide business students, managers, practitioners, and leaders with advanced knowledge, research, and analytical skills that they can apply to solve complex business problems. Unlike master's programs, the DBA program emphasizes the practical application of theory to real-world business challenges. Students are expected to undergo a transformative learning process that enhances their research skills, enabling them to approach business situations with a different perspective and a focus on applying research methods to find solutions that promote organizational efficiency, growth, and long-term sustainability.
The program is designed to be both flexible and rigorous, and it can be completed entirely online. Students have the freedom to set their own pace for completing the program. The duration of the program varies depending on the pathway the student selects (Coursework vs Research). While most students are expected to obtain the qualification within three years of enrolling, the research pathway may lead to a qualification in less than three years.
The MSBM DBA in Supply Chain Management program emphasizes applied research to enable executives, managers, and practitioners to apply what they learn in real-time in their organizations. The curriculum ensures that students acquire advanced knowledge and expertise in all business and supply chain management aspects. Coursework focuses on developing research, writing, presentation, critical and analytical thinking, and change management skills.
Upon completing the program, students can apply research methodologies to study business situations and solve business challenges. They will be able to conduct primary and secondary research to understand business challenges and apply a deep understanding of business and supply chain management fundamentals and practices to predict outcomes.
Additionally, students will develop advanced proficiency in business communication, articulating complex ideas, strategies, plans, and tactics clearly and effectively. They will also be able to create meaningful reports using data collection, cleaning, interpretation, and visualization. Students will engage in academic and professional research activities that may lead to publications in peer-reviewed journals and develop high-level proficiency in applying robust research methodologies, study design, and study conduct to produce a thesis as part of the requirement for the conferring of the doctorate qualification.
The MSBM DBA program offers both a coursework-based and research-based pathway for completion.
The course is delivered in two segments.
Segment 1 consists of Seven modules, each one with an assignment and Segment 2 consists of a RESEARCH REPORT(paper)
Segment 1:
Modules: You will be awarded a level 8 Diploma for the completion of the coursework of the following modules.
ADVANCED RESEARCH METHODS:
This module will equip students with the qualitative and quantitative principles to undertake research at the doctorate level. The research principles will include a review of theoretical principles informed by Research Philosophy and Research Approach along with empirical research principles involving Research Strategy, Data Collection Method and Data Analysis Method. Additionally, students will be equipped to make appropriate judgements based on ethical practices during the PhD research.
ADVANCED HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT:
This module will aim at the management of human beings in a complex organisation; recruiting, selecting, training, promoting & motivating human beings. Increasing personal loyalties & managing personnel to elevate individual contribution, increasing quality & lowering operational costs.
STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS ANALYSIS:
The course presents conceptual frameworks and models which will assist students in analyzing competitive situations and strategic dilemmas and gaining insight into strategic management. This course will synthesise previous course materials within the business programmes. Lectures are supplemented with case studies.
ADVANCED BUSINESS THEORIES:
The course aims at helping PhD candidates develop an appreciation for the intellectual growth of business as a discipline. Students will have an opportunity to view the historical growth of the field from an economic to a behaviourally-based discipline. By studying multiple articles on each topic, students will gain an understanding of the way academic knowledge is developed, as well as be exposed to contemporary social science methods.
GLOBAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT:
This module aims to provide the principles of asset valuation and financing in competitive global financial markets. The course is organized around the three main ideas in Finance: The time value of money, Diversification and risk, Arbitrage and hedging. The time value of money is a basic determinant in the valuation of assets such as bonds, stocks, futures, and options. The classes on diversification and risk provide a thorough grounding in the trade-off between risk and return given by modern portfolio theory. In discussing arbitrage and hedging, we demonstrate how to hedge market, interest rate, and foreign exchange risks. This involves using futures and options.
ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR:
Theoretical statements of individual and group behaviour in organizations will be examined in this course. Student presentations and discussions will include detailed treatments of organization design, change, and reorganization, as well as inter-organizational relationships.
ADVANCED MANAGEMENT:
This module captures the essence of research in advanced theory and practice of business management that include areas such as Analysis of modern management theories, Development of organizations, Dynamics of organizational behaviour and relationship to effective administration in addition to the Models of communication, motivation, and leadership.
Segment 2 - RESEARCH/THESIS:
Here, you will produce an academic standard research report in this segment. This segment will last nominally for one-two year. Your specialization depends on the topic you will select for the research.
