Program description

The Doctor of Business Administration is a scientific and practical degree awarded to business management practitioners who have completed the DBA preparation program and have prepared and successfully defended their own doctoral dissertation.

The DBA program is a program that allows you to summarize your own management experience, identify modern trends management, analyze the success factors and, on this basis, improve their own qualifications.

The DBA program has no time frame: it is a lifetime program. After its completion, all participants receive the privilege of lifelong participation in all activities held at the IBDA, that is, in individual classes and trainings on any of the programs, at seminars, conferences and meetings with experts and public figures.

The DBA program for each student is individual. In addition to the classes provided by the DBA program, each participant in the process of passing it, in accordance with his tasks and preferences, can choose any classes and entire courses of other programs. Each student in the process of preparing his own dissertation works in close contact with a personal mentor (coach). Individual consultations are carried out by specialized specialists, practitioners and management theorists. Classes at the DBA are in the nature of consultations and creative discussions. The program does not give students ready-made recipes, it offers methods that lead to success.

The DBA program is heavily focused on modern technologies knowledge management. AT modern world information openness leads to the fact that new explicit knowledge quickly spreads and quickly finds its application in business processes. This undermines the competitiveness of organizations that build their strategy on the use of predominantly new explicit knowledge. The proposed DBA program focuses on the use of tacit knowledge, which in the 21st century is becoming a sustainable success factor. This allows students of the program to independently determine the true factors of competitiveness in relation to their own projects and businesses. Graduates know how to turn knowledge into capital.

The total cost of the program is 1,650,000 rubles. Payment is made annually in 2 installments of 275,000 rubles each.

General provisions

The DBA degree is seen as equivalent to a PhD in business administration, except that the effort to master it is directed more towards applied research rather than theoretical research.

The part of the program that consists of the study of theoretical courses can be compared to PhD (post-graduate studies). However, the bulk of the DBA program, consisting of the applicant's own research and dissertation writing, focuses on more applied research.

The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is a doctoral program for long-term professionals who want to reach the next level in business and management. Involves deepening in research activities.

Typically, this program enrolls 40-year-old professionals with 15 years of work experience* who already have an MBA degree.

Varieties of DBAs

It is important to note that DBA is different from DBA, and there are several types of doctoral studies in management.

So, in some educational institutions, the DBA is not a professional degree, and it can be entered without relevant work experience.

If we talk about programs for professionals, then 86%* of doctoral degrees in management are DBA, but there are also PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) or Doctor degrees (with a specialization in any one area of business, for example, in organizational change, finance, strategic leadership, management).

DBA or PhD?

Despite the fact that the names of the qualifications "Doctor of Business Administration" (Doctor of Business Administration) and "Doctor of Science" (Doctor of Philosophy) are similar, they are, nevertheless, completely different programs with their own tasks, features and target audience. The table below summarizes the main differences and similarities between these areas of study.

	DBA	PhD
1. Target audience	Business professionals with many years of experience, usually with an MBA degree	Usually master's degree graduates may not have much work experience
2. Student motivation	Practical knowledge and skills for business, solving complex everyday problems	Scientific career, mastering scientific methodology for research
3. Dissertation	You can confidentially use your company data and conduct research on your own business	Based on open scientific data or on statistics obtained by the student as a result of his own small study
4. Learning format	Part time Full time	Part time Full-time (according to FindAPhD, this is the most common training format among scholarship and grant holders)
5. Financing	Payment is made either by the student or (in more rare cases) by the employing company	There are many scholarships and grants, PhD can also theoretically be obtained at the expense of the employing company
6. Perspectives after training	Entering a new level of personal and professional development, the possibility of conducting practical research for real business, teaching at business schools as a visiting lecturer or advising companies	Position of a professor at a business school/university, publications in authoritative scientific publications, theoretical research, teaching
7. Degree recognition	Recognition in the business community	Wide recognition in the international academic community

However, do not forget that every rule has its exceptions, we have only listed the most significant features of DBA and PhD. So, for example, some DBA holders work full-time in business schools and universities, and PhDs can hold leadership positions in various companies.

In any case, the final choice is yours, but remember the main difference between DBA and PhD- the different focus of these programs, on practice and solving specific problems (DBA) or on fundamental theory and general conclusions (PhD).

Cost of education

The cost and duration of study at different business doctoral programs in different educational institutions may vary depending on whether the school has international accreditations AACSB, EQUIS, AMBA. It is worth noting that such schools not only have a proven quality of education, but are also more selective in choosing applicants, so you need to carefully study their selection criteria for admission.
