Overview
Change is something we are never without, but sometimes the economy goes through a fundamental change, a paradigm shift, a particularly disruptive shift in technology and in the problems businesses must solve. Currently, we are undergoing two such changes at the same time: a green transition – changes in technologies, business practices and markets made urgent by recognition of the limits of the natural systems we use – and a digital transition, the continuing information revolution. These changes present ongoing challenges for strategic management in international business.
The bulk of the DBA consists of four core modules, and your thesis. The first two modules cover strategic and general management issues raised by the green and digital transitions respectively. The next two modules focus on marketing and finance issues presented by those transitions.
This DBA is different
Most DBAs are general – they prepare you to do some research and write a thesis on your chosen topic. The Luiss Business School DBAs are focused on major changes happening on the market. Our belief is that if you choose a DBA with the right focus you will get more out of it, not only from your own research but from the faculty, from the guest lecturers, and from fellow students who are facing challenges similar to yours in their own workplaces and careers.
Target audience
The DBA is designed for managers and leaders who see that want to advance in their professional careers, particularly those whose role (or desired role) requires dealing with problems of the green or digital transitions. Candidates must have at least a master’s degree and significant work experience (7+ years) with increasing levels of responsibility.
