Doctor degree in business administration
What is DBA?
Doctor of business administration? (abbreviated as DBA, D.B.A, DRBA or Dr.B.A or Busd)—— A research doctor awarded based on advanced research in the field of business administration (Wikipedia) —— A research doctor awarded by an advanced research institution in the field of business administration. Chinese translation is a doctor of management or a doctor of business administration, which is mainly aimed at senior managers with rich industry experience. Harvard University first set up DBA program, and now some top business schools in the United States have also started to set up and award doctoral degrees. At present, more than 50 schools in Europe have carried out DBA education.
What is the difference between DBA and PhD?
1, research requirements:
PhD and DBA are both doctoral degrees, and they are different in the level and difficulty of research. PhD is an academic doctor and English is a doctor of philosophy. DBA is a doctor of business administration. Some business schools, such as Harvard Business School, have almost the same research requirements, but different enrollment requirements.
2. Enrollment objectives:
Most doctoral students recruited by Peking University are undergraduates, with no work experience and academic research as their main career goal. DBA recruits entrepreneurs with rich business experience and carries out strict academic training from practice, thus producing influential management ideas.
3. Education system model:
The traditional doctoral model is generally 4-5 years of full-time doctoral study, focusing on pure theoretical research, generally not targeting the industrial and commercial departments, but focusing on science. Many people in the west are engaged in teaching and research after graduating from Ph.D. And DBA education is more related to business practice, focusing on the effect of applying theory to practice. Although the DBA academic system in Europe is generally 4 ~ 5 years, students take part-time study instead of full-time study.
4. Teaching features:
Like PhD, DBA requires students to choose a research topic from the beginning, but the topic itself is mostly a practical problem faced by students in their own work, which is more practical. Compared with the traditional doctor training, the teaching feature of DBA is the closer combination of theory and practice. DBA does not study a purely theoretical problem from an academic point of view, but pays more attention to professional practice and natural application. The ultimate achievement comes from his own management practice, which can be inherited and continued and recognized by the world management system. This is also the difference between DBA doctor of business administration and traditional doctor of research.
After studying MBA/EMBA, why should I study DBA?
40 to 50 years old is the golden age of life, with passion for career and dreams for the future. After the baptism of MBA/EMBA and other higher education, they have completed the beautiful transformation of knowledge, career and life. Personal growth is endless, and career and knowledge should reach new heights. As a decision-maker or manager of an enterprise, no matter which height you pursue, you need to reorganize your decades of management experience, form a "systematization" in thinking, remove "fragmentation", and classify knowledge and experience, thus forming a set of management model, which is what we often call methodology. This requires an opportunity, an opportunity to walk with other wise men who have the same aspirations and work together. Choosing DBA to study is such an opportunity.
Different from MBA/EMBA, DBA focuses on the process of cultivating students from practice to thinking, and achieves the results of their own management theory. For students who have participated in MBA/EMBA or other master's degree studies, they have rich work experience and mastered many management skills. They hope to express their new discoveries and new ideas in their work through appropriate channels, communicate and share with more people, so as to update and sublimate their management concepts. DBA provides them with such an opportunity to learn, and it teaches students how to think deeply about management. Through theoretical study, students can constantly generate new ideas and express them in a rigorous and scientific way, and can publish papers in academic journals to improve their personal growth value in the management field.
Many entrepreneurs are not satisfied with MBA/EMBA study, and many professional elites can't do full-time doctoral study. Therefore, they choose DBA to improve their theoretical level, systematically sort out their practical thinking and experience, sum up their personal observation and thinking into a more valuable ideological system, and become entrepreneurs and scholars with a higher pattern.
At the same time, there are essential differences between doctors and masters. It is also my honor to study for a doctorate in business administration. After graduation, your name was unconsciously crowned with the letter "doctor" and you were called "doctor entrepreneur".
