Doctor of Business Administration


The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is a Doctoral level qualification designed to enhance trans-disciplinary professional practices in management via the application and development of theoretical frameworks, methods and techniques. A DBA places emphasis on the novel application of theory, rather than the creation and testing of theory. SABI DBA is designed for high-ranked managers who lead their organisation. SABI’s DBA places great emphasis on highly relevant, workplace-based research by producing truly actionable knowledge, which is relevant to the student’s field of expertise rather than narrowly defined theoretical research.
