DBA - Doctor of Business Administration
Bielefeld
Part Time
Oct 2027
4 Year
The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is a professional doctoral degree designed to enhance business leadership and professional practice. It is run in collaboration with FHM Bielefeld in Germany.The programme is designed to provide an opportunity for business professionals to work creatively by analysing and synthesising research literature, and their own research evidence, to understand their own professional contexts more critically and to find solutions to key challenges in their working environment. In doing so it is envisaged that our students will become (and ultimately lead) communities of practice for their profession. The degree is delivered as part of a University professional doctorate programme.
The purpose of this module - stretching across the length of the taught component of the professional doctorate - is to consider, in a holistic sense, the nature of ?knowledge?, its generation and management in various contexts, and the relationship of this to the participant's professional culture, identity and role. The multiple factors ? at a macro, meso and micro level - shaping knowledge and organisational cultures will be critically explored. The ways in which knowledge is constructed and used, and the place of forms of evidence and research in informing, shaping and reshaping practices ? and professional self-identity within this ? will be critically evaluated.
The purpose of this module is to enable the student to reflect on the variety of methods available to complete doctoral level research. Students will discuss relevant and appropriate knowledge and skills required, including literature searching at doctorate level, critical reading, identifying and defining the research question, methodological and analytical processes involved in completing the research process, and research ethics associated with particular methods. Students will be introduced to a variety of research methods dependent on the interests, circumstances and expertise of the participant cohort. Students will compare and contrast research paradigms and approaches, consider the implications for their own research question and develop a design, including the formation of a research question.
This module seeks to equip students with the knowledge, skills and capabilities to plan, initiate, manage and ?write up? their doctoral research project.
