DBA geared to nurturing Scholar-leaders who can solve real-world business problems

The stated aim of the DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is to produce “scholar-leaders”, the type of senior executives who want to apply their research findings to address real-world issues and complex business problems.

The part-time, credit-based programme does that by integrating academic study with practical experience in a dynamic learning environment.

It takes a rigorous, interdisciplinary approach, bringing students up to date with the latest developments shaping the broader business world and giving them the research skills and technical competencies to complete a thesis with direct relevance for their own industry and beyond.

“These days, with everything from globalisation to digital transformation, executives face new issues and immense challenges,” says Wilson Tong, DBA Programme Director and Professor of Finance in PolyU’s Faculty of Business. “We provide a framework to help them see the complexities, make the right strategic decisions, and conduct original research on an area of special interest in the field of business or management.”
