Overview

Lead Transformation in Turbulent Times: Become A Real-World Researcher

•           Real-world project focus
•           Drive transformation through research
•           Part-time, blended learning
•           Stepping stone to c-suite

Global turbulence and uncertainty create complex and hitherto unseen management problems. Rapid technological advances and environmental crises are disrupting businesses, industries, and countries. These challenges demand professional and business practitioners equipped with unique skill sets and approaches. To successfully tackle these challenges, we need real-world researchers. These highly skilled business practitioners and professionals are able to apply systematic research to solve complex problems. The Sasin DBA program has been carefully designed to develop such experts.

Designed for senior managers, policymakers, independent consultants, professionals and working academics with at least 10 years of professional experience, the Sasin DBA accepts candidates from all disciplines and industries who are preparing for more advanced leadership and advisory roles in their organizations and professions.

If you are interested in strengthening your conceptual thinking skills, investigating and solving problems in your industry or profession, leading change, and expanding your network, then the Sasin DBA is for you.

WHY this program
at Chula

1 Thailand’s First Globally Accredited Business School

Sasin School of Management is one of the few Southeast Asian business schools with the top two global accreditations, AACSB and EQUIS. AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accreditation is the hallmark of excellence in management education. It represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. EQUIS (EFMD Quality Improvement System) is recognized as one of the top gauges of standards in management education in Europe and beyond, and is awarded by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD). EQUIS accreditation demonstrates not only that the School’s activities are of very high quality, but also that the School has a very strong international dimension.

2 Research from day one

You’ll begin thinking about research and reflecting upon your existing business or professional practice, from the very first day of your program. You’ll practice reflexivity and rigorously investigate problems throughout your research journey.

3 A blended learning approach

A highly focused learning process will empower your development as real-world researchers. You will learn online, at your own pace, when and where you choose. Each course will include intensive workshops on campus, or at other locations, usually on weekends.

The blended learning approach ensures you get the maximum payoff for the time you invest, while experiencing the stimulation of group discussions and feedback.

4 Assignments that ‘plug into’ your research and thesis

Each course assignment will plug directly into your research and, eventually, your thesis. So, you progress in your research journey: step-by-step throughout the program.

Each course assignment has been carefully designed to develop your knowledge and skills in relation to a part of your research process or a component of your thesis.

Career Opportunities

The Sasin DBA program will enable you to build on your existing expertise, deepen your understanding of your professional and business practices, and harness research skills to tackle the complex problems you face.

This program gives you the opportunity to step back from your frenetic career, realize your true potential, and build practical contributions for your organization. As with all Sasin programs, the DBA involves three underlying themes, which drive the future of management: mindfulness, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.

After completing the Sasin DBA, you’ll approach, investigate, and tackle complex real-world problems with confidence. As a consequence, you’ll be able to lead successful transformation in your industry or profession.
