What is a DBA degree?
DBA - program additional education Doctor of business administration(Doctor of Business Administration), focused on training business owners and top-level management personnel. The main objective of the program is to summarize personal and other people's business management experience, learn to look at managerial activity wide eye and go beyond the familiar industry.
The emergence of this relatively new program for Russia was a completely expected reaction to the fact that specialists working in this field are increasingly faced with problems that sometimes turn them not so much into effective leaders and businessmen, but into researchers in fundamental areas of science. That is, we can safely say that modern business is becoming smarter. And this means that there is an urgent need for new knowledge and forms of education based on the exchange of experience in successful business.
This is the form of education that DBA program, in which the leaders of leading companies share their experience at the level of scientific research and practical recommendations with everyone.
It is important to understand that specialists who study exclusively for themselves, and not for their employer, come to study under the DBA program. Thus, the final dissertation of DBA graduates is not just an attestation or research work, but a fundamental work in which each letter is supported by generalized knowledge and experience.
Who can get a DBA degree?
Despite the fact that in Russia this manager training program appeared quite recently, it managed to prove itself well both in the USA and in Europe. Therefore, DBA came to our country with already formed rules for the preparation of dissertations and their defense, as well as certain parameters for applicants for the degree of Doctor of Business Administration. Today only senior managers (with at least ten years of experience) who have;
- practical knowledge in business management;
- MBA (or EMBA) diploma;
- or a PhD in management or economics.
With every specialist who wants apply for a DBA, a serious interview is held, during which the business school staff determines whether the applicant has sufficient experience to master this program.
Main components of the DBA program
The program is aimed not so much at obtaining classical knowledge and studying the latest technologies, but rather at expanding the worldview and achieving success both in a career and in personal life. This is the main difference in obtaining a degree Doctor of Business Administration from conventional programs.

Theoretical - seminars, lectures, consultations. This part provides for the development key points business and management. Knowledge is combined into modules that discuss the real problems of modern business and ways to solve them. Each module (and there are usually eight of them) is devoted to a separate topic: management, finance, strategy, IT, marketing, etc.
Practical - participation in special training sessions to obtain the necessary skills. Classes are conducted by foreign and domestic specialists. The task, as a rule, includes the presentation of work on the past topic of the module with reference and provision of real data of an existing company.

NIKAMED LLC, Business Development Director
Studying at the DBA allowed me to:
- Actively train your brain. If we approach the human brain as a muscle, then 2 years of training allowed me to increase the intensity of training, which in turn had a positive effect on my life: I began to implement projects that were in the waiting stage, changed jobs, moved to work in Moscow.
- Expanded communication networks through training (colleagues in the group and teachers/speakers)
- The attestation work was of an applied nature and is now being implemented in real business.
- Completed my tasks of personal development: a list of books to read, useful articles and websites, activities in life. As an example, a trip to Baikal with Konstantinov GN
In general, the training once again clearly demonstrated to me that the concept of LLL (long Life Learning) is not three L on paper, but constant hard work on oneself that cannot be stopped.

The DBA course at the Graduate School of Management turned out to be extremely useful for me, it allowed me to immerse myself in the latest, most relevant trends in the field of management theory and practice in various fields. It was very interesting to take part in the classes conducted by the leading teachers of the School, to reason with them, and sometimes even to argue.
I always evaluate the usefulness of participating in trainings and training programs for myself through the number of ideas and questions that I fix for myself for further deeper study and reflection. Virtually every element of the program added to my similar list of “thinking ideas for yourself” over the course of two years. And among other things, it was very important for me to prepare a high-quality final work following the results of the training, which drew a certain line under my more than 15-year period of professional and career development in the insurance industry, which, I think, I managed to do actively cooperation with my supervisor - Sergey Rostislavovich Filonovich.
I got my DBA degree last summer. If we talk about key changes and achievements in my professional development since this milestone, I can note the following aspects. Firstly, by the meeting of shareholders of the Doctor Ryado Medical Company, I was appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors of the organization; secondly, as an independent member, I joined the Board of Directors of the Rosgosstrakh Life Insurance Company; and thirdly, I recently became a winner All-Russian competition managers "Leaders of Russia".

The DBA program for me is a kind of quintessence best business practices and business philosophy, which gives a much deeper understanding of the development processes of not just business, but society and human civilization. In addition to all this, it is an invaluable intellectual pleasure, as well as communication with like-minded people of the highest human qualities, rare for the present times. On a personal level, these are skills for deeper work on oneself, additional incentives for self-education; on a professional level, these are skills and work on complex, diverse, multi-layered projects in a team with high-class professionals.
Your achievements after completing the program:
- transfer of operational management of your company to a hired manager

Varieties of DBAs
It is important to note that DBA is different from DBA, and there are several types of doctoral studies in management.
So, in some educational institutions DBA is not professional degree, and it can be entered without relevant work experience.
If we talk about programs for professionals, then 86%* of doctoral degrees in management are DBA, but there are also PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) or Doctor degrees (with a specialization in any one area of business, for example, in organizational change, finance, strategic leadership, management).
DBA or PhD?
Despite the fact that the names of the qualifications "Doctor of Business Administration" (Doctor of Business Administration) and "Doctor of Science" (Doctor of Philosophy) are similar, they are, nevertheless, completely different programs with their own tasks, features and target audience. The table below summarizes the main differences and similarities between these areas of study.
| DBA | PhD | |
| 1. Target audience | Business professionals with many years of experience, usually with an MBA degree | Usually master's degree graduates may not have much work experience |
| 2. Student motivation | Practical knowledge and skills for business, solving complex everyday problems | Scientific career, mastering scientific methodology for research |
| 3. Dissertation | You can confidentially use your company data and conduct research on your own business | Based on open scientific data or on statistics obtained by the student as a result of his own small study |
| 4. Learning format |
|
|
| 5. Financing | Payment is made either by the student or (in more rare cases) by the employing company | There are many scholarships and grants, PhD can also theoretically be obtained at the expense of the employing company |
| 6. Perspectives after training | Entering a new level of personal and professional development, the possibility of conducting practical research for real business, teaching at business schools as a visiting lecturer or advising companies | Professor position at a business school/university, publications in reputable scientific journals, theoretical research, teaching |
| 7. Degree recognition | Recognition in the business community | Wide recognition in the international academic community |
However, do not forget that every rule has its exceptions, we have only listed the most significant features of DBA and PhD. So, for example, some DBA holders work full-time in business schools and universities, and PhDs can hold leadership positions in various companies.
In any case, the final choice is yours, but remember the main difference between DBA and PhD- the different focus of these programs, on practice and solving specific problems (DBA) or on fundamental theory and general conclusions (PhD).
