Scholar Guidance

DBA Completion Guidance

A DBA thesis that is credible to the academy and useful to the industry — completed while you keep working.

Overview

What this service covers

A DBA is undertaken alongside a full career, and that is precisely where it gets difficult. Coursework was manageable; the research phase is different. The thesis must satisfy academic standards while remaining relevant to practice, and it must be written in the hours left over from a working week.

Rigour with relevance

We help you keep the study practice-oriented without compromising academic rigour — a balance examiners look for in a DBA.

Data & ethics

We guide you in gaining access to organisational data and handling confidentiality and ethics approval.

Plan around your calendar

We plan the research phase around your professional calendar, with milestones that survive a busy quarter.

Contribution to practice

We guide you through analysis, findings and the implications chapter, where the DBA's contribution to practice must be made explicit.

Submission & defence

We prepare you for submission and defence, including how to present managerial implications convincingly.
