Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) der University of Surrey (UK)

Der Bedarf an hochqualifizierten und praxisnah ausgebildeten Mitarbeitern, die funktionsübergreifend und in strategischen Zusammenhängen denken können und auch für einen Auslandseinsatz geeignet sind, ist sehr hoch. Der Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) ist ein Doktorat, das für den Praktiker entwickelt wurde. Dieser Abschluss eröffnet Karrierechancen im gehobenen internationalen Management, besonders in Unternehmensberatungen, Finanzdienstleistungsun-ternehmen und bei multinationalen Firmen. Viele europäische Unternehmen rekrutieren grenzüberschreitend besonders in Hinsicht auf wirtschaftswissen-schaftliche Fachrichtungen.

Der Doctor of Business Administration soll einen wissenschaftlichen Beitrag zur Professionalisierung des Managements leisten. Die Forschungsarbeit des Doc-tors of Business Administration trägt direkt zur Weiterentwicklung der aktuellen Managementtheorien bei. Forschungsthemen sind vorzugsweise aus den Ar-beitsgebieten der Professoren der Surrey Business School der University of Sur-rey zu entnehmen.

Sie studieren das Doctoral Programme der Surrey Business School der Universi-ty of Surrey an der IBS International Business School im berufsbegleitenden Studium mit Seminaren. Fünf Seminarwochenenden finden im ersten Dokto-randenjahr von Freitag bis Sonntag in den Räumlichkeiten der IBS International Business School statt. Drei weitere Forschungsseminare schließen sich in den beiden Folgejahren an. Der zeitliche Rahmen, den Sie für den Doctor of Busi-ness Administration (DBA) insgesamt einplanen müssen, beläuft sich auf vier Jahre.

Viele der bahnbrechenden Forschungsleistungen der Universität haben direkten Einfluss auf alle möglichen Lebensbereiche – etwa indem sie der In-dustrie einen dauerhaften Wettbewerbsvorsprung verschaffen oder in Bereichen wie Medizin, Raumfahrtwissenschaft, Umwelt, Telekommunikation sowie im Ver-teidigungs-, Gesundheits- und Sozialwesen für Fortschritt sorgen. Doch nicht nur die Forschungs- und Technologieprogramme der Universität finden breite Anerkennung, sondern auch die Studiengänge wie Musik, Sozialwissenschaften, Betriebswirtschaft, Sprachen und Jura. Neben dem 150 Hektar großen Campus am Rande von Guildford in der englischen Grafschaft Surrey unterhält die Uni-versität zudem den universitätseigenen Surrey Research Park, der Einrichtungen für 140 Unternehmen mit insgesamt 2.700 Mitarbeitern bietet. Nicht von unge-fähr gab die Sunday Times der Universität den Beinamen ‚The University for Jobs’ und unterstrich so das wachsende Renommee der Hochschule als Anbieter hochwertiger, berufsorientierter Abschlüsse.

accreditation of its MBA programme by AMBA (Association of MBAs) following a recent visit from their

organisations simultaneously.

Welcoming the news, Head of School Professor Bob O'Keefe said; "We are delighted to have received

Übersicht über die Kursinhalte des DBA MODULE TITLE: Philosophical Underpinnings of Management Research Summary of Aims

The aim of this first module is to introduce students to a number of relevant issues and debates related to the philosophical aspects of research and the conduct of research in the management disciplines.

The module is designed to:

To introduce students to the overall programme of studies and to explain the nature of a DBA qualification

To provide conceptual understanding and examples of both inductive and deductive research design approaches

To provide an understanding of the aspects and implications of the epis-temological and ontological features of research

The ability to debate approaches to knowledge creation, science, truth and verification and to discuss the implications of alternative philosophical research models

Introduce participants to a range of perspectives from Kuhn, Popper etc; in order to enable them to develop their own work in an appropriate con-ceptual framework related to a management topic.

MODULE TITLE: Quantitative Research Methods Summary of Aims

To understand in detail the technique of providing a link between the de-velopment of a research question and the parallel choice of the selection of an appropriate research design approach. This will impart knowledge to allow the student to conceptualise, design and implement a DBA pro-ject

To assure the acquisition of a set of statistical techniques which will allow a student to understand data sets, judge if data has normality or skew-ness and from this to make decisions regarding descriptive or interpre-tive statistical application

To be able to systematically acquire data by knowledge and practice of the construction of a non-biased measurement instrument

To be able to utilise software such as SPSS in order to systematically in-terrogate data from a descriptive and inferential perspective (and to un-derstand differences between parametric and non-parametric tests)

To provide a detailed understanding of quantitative techniques which can be utilised in advanced academic enquiry



MODULE TITLE: Qualitative Research Methods Summary of Aims To provide the acquisition of knowledge of the range of qualitative techniques available to the doctoral student. - Philosophical aspects of phenomenological techniques. Qualitative analysis techniques: discourse analysis, text analysis, cognitive mapping, argument maps, event sequence analysis, knowledge of computerised support packages, integrating both qualitative and quantitative approaches in research design. Case study planning and analysis, group discus-sion – focus and projective techniques, in-depth interviews, reflective diaries, action learning.

To give students a grounding in the practical use of a range of alternative me-thods for collection and analysis of qualitative data e.g. role playing, simulations and demonstration of software.

To provide the student with an appreciation of the theoretical knowledge of re-search methods to addressing a business problem through using ‘soft’ ap-proaches to qualitative management issues and data.

MODULE TITLE: Critical Evaluation of Literature Summary of Aims

To provide participants with the ability to engage critically as a reader of management texts, research reports and proposals

To introduce core components of a structured approach for the critical examination and review of literature that focuses on in-depth critical ana-lysis of individual texts, with special reference to management

To be able to develop the ability of making informed independent evalua-tive judgements on what appear to be complex managerial issues

To be able to understand the ways to systematically approach literature from a critical perspective and to develop methods to assess advanced academic text

To highlight learning from the parallel between constructively critical rea-ding of others’ writing in the literature and self-critical writing as creators of academic literature for other critical readers

MODULE TITLE: Applied Research Project



MODULE TITLE: Proposal Writing and Proposal Summary of Aims

To ensure that the student has thought through an academically rigorous and practically relevant thesis design, bearing in mind the feasibility con-straints of such a task.

To ensure the understanding of the requirement to demonstrate the abili-ty to conceptualise, design and implement an appropriate research topic and design which meets the requirement of a DBA thesis

To have the knowledge to be able to write an acceptable research propo-sal which meets the criteria for doctoral research in a relevant area of management.
