Bled (Slovenia), September 9, 2024: IEDC is happy to welcome a fourth cohort of DBA participants. Four new DBA students from Austria, Brazil, China and Slovenia will engage in a 4-year doctoral study designed for executives who have already been successful in business for many years and are looking for a new intellectual challenge. DBAs have an MBA or other Master’s degree already completed and want to further distinguish themselves from others by doing a doctoral degree. At the same time, they are interested in management research and may have a practical research question in mind - a specific problem from their work environment for instance - that they can approach in their dissertation and that provides benefits to their companies at the same time.

The DBA program faculty comprises some of the most regarded researchers and educators in the fields of strategic leadership, management, innovation and creativity from across the globe. This week students are attending the course on Leadership studies led by Prof. Drikus Kriek.

We wish DBAs good luck with their studies and once again: welcome to IEDC!
