Business Transformation, Sustainable Business and Entrepreneurship
Reconstructing how business is practiced by building strong, new carefully tested hypotheses through research in the field will be the very heart of business and global business transformation. Business School of Lausanne (BSL) has shaped the Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) program to look beyond the success or innovation of a specific company. The Doctoral program provides students with the opportunity to determine, through their Doctoral studies, how business should be framed in the future, considering an entire industry and not just a single company. Business School of Lausanne (BSL) is a prestigious European business school founded in 1987. It was the first European business school in Europe to receive ACBSP certification in 1996. Ranked second in the Global DBA Euro Rankings in 2019, BSL was selected as one of the top three business schools in Switzerland in the 2017 QS Global 250 Graduate School of Business Report. This Executive DBA program has been offered as a dual-degree program with BSL and Seoul Business School since 2018 with 5 graduates so far. It is completed in tandem with a PhD in Business Administration from aSSIST University.

Studies include 10 credits in research methods, 8 credits in a concentration area, 14 credits of electives, two published journal articles, comprehensive exam, thesis research project (4 credits), and written thesis and oral defense. The PhD can be completed in 3 years. The program has a modular structure and follows a four-week learning cycle.

The BSL DBA program is intended for those with previous managerial and leadership experience who wish to make a significant contribution to enhancing and transforming the field of Business Administration. You will do this through a critical understanding, review, challenge and application of appropriate theories and research to the professional practice of business management and administration. All in an effort to create new and better solutions for the complexities that surround managing a business into the future. You will be expected to produce a significant Doctoral-level transdisciplinary study that advances research in the fields of business and management that is both relevant and can be applied in the real world. The DBA thesis, based on research that is carried out throughout the program, is the primary piece of work that will be assessed for the awarding of the DBA degree and you will present your completed dissertation to a committee of faculty at BSL as the final step of the program.
