Doctorate in Business Management (DBM) The Doctorate in Business Management (DBM) qualification is ideal for self-motivated business managers and leaders who have proven themselves in the workplace but seek an intellectual challenge. As a doctoral candidate you will have the opportunity to solve complex issues by following a rigorous research process that will contribute innovatively to the body of knowledge in the area of management and or leadership. You will start out by completing an advanced research methodology module, and then work independently - but in consultation with your supervisor - on your chosen research project. You will have the flexibility to meet the demands of work and family, but still receive regular face-toface and online support from your supervisor at times that suit you both. As a graduate from this programme you will be recognised and respected not only for having the highest level of qualification in business management, but also for honing advanced problem-solving, metaanalytical and critical thinking skills that culminated in making an original contribution to the business world. The DBM aims to develop the necessary knowledge and leadership skills needed for our future business leaders. The chosen area of research must fall within the discipline of leadership and management, underpinned by exceptional and methodical research and academic rigour. Prospective candidates must meet the requisite entry requirements and should be curious, independent thinkers, conversant with research, and eager to make a significant contribution to the field of leadership and management. The power to manifest our dreams is within us. 2
