The goal of this qualification is to develop leaders with impact through cutting-edge business research and workplace innovation.

A DBA is equivalent to a Ph.D., but candidates pursue applied research rather than pure theoretical knowledge. The DBA’s goal is to design business solutions that address real-world problems, and then to evaluate, assess, and test the effectiveness of those solutions. In this way, the DBA candidate creates new knowledge, which is the ultimate criterion for the award of a doctorate.

Candidates for the DBA degree at TSB are carefully chosen. This is done to ensure that the research generated has the greatest possible impact on business, government, and/or society.

This is also to ensure that candidates can be successfully supervised based on the business school’s available expertise and research capacity.

TSB reserves the right not to accept a candidate if we are not satisfied that all of the criteria have been met and/or if the chosen study does not meet any of the business school’s other objectives.
