DBA/Dissertation
I embarked in all earnest on my doctorate in business administration (DBA) in April 2020 soon after COVID-19 shutdowns occurred because I knew I would finally have weekends and evenings to dedicate to the intense time and work the program required. The DBA is designed for executive-level working professionals and combines scholarly research with practitioner experience. The program emphasizes management theory, strategic thinking, organizational leadership, change, research, innovation, and sustainability in the global business environment. The years of classes culminate into the last phase which is the dissertation research and writing that is spread over three semesters. I am sharing this journey with you here, mainly focusing on the dissertation phase.
