Doctor of Business Administration

Introduction

The DBA degree is created for discerning individuals who have reached a phase in their lives where personal fulfilments is their priority. This is the time when we re-evaluate our life's critical issues that concern family and career and the future that we desire. Business and global issues and the philosophy of living are given fresh perspectives in this personal inquiry.

More than just another academic program or a course for practising professionals, the DBA is a serious conversation about critical issues that revolve around our lives and the way we shape our destiny. We thus adopt an adventurous learning experience that is experiential and exploratory: Recognizing that our world is chaotic and that most challenges in decision making are what we categorize as "wicked problems", a totally new paradigmic framework must be used. Our shared learning thus uses a combination of philosophical wondering, literature based and appreciate learning, Design and Theory U techniques, PBL, presencing and scenario analysis. It is multi-disciplinary and underpinned by experimental approaches.

The DBA is about personal growth and leadership transformation - a powerful statement about personal significance. The Academic Program Leader is Datuk Dr Paul Chan who is a social entrepreneur and a pioneer of disciplines and life's experiences.
