We understand that the need for senior practitioners to standout as thought leaders in their organisations and wider occupations has become necessary in the evolving business complexities. Hence, we have designed our programme to enhance the capabilities of business leaders to solve the complex problems facing us.

We designed our programme to accommodate the busy schedule of a busy working senior executive. The DBA courses are delivered in a blended fashion that combines the power of face-to-face sessions with the flexibility of online content. The classroom sessions are scheduled on a modular basis in which students are in school for a period of one-week in every two months for lectures, seminar, and other classroom activities.

The first year of the programme will be dedicated exclusively to course work. The second year will be dedicated to course work and research while the third year will focus on research work.

Our programme will help our participants develop the capabilities to conduct management research that is relevant to national development. They will also be able to create and apply knowledge to solve relevant management challenges facing local and global companies and institutions.

The programme objectives are:

• Participants will be able to conduct management research that is relevant to national development.
• Participants will be able to create and apply knowledge to solve relevant management challenges facing local and global companies and institutions.
• To improve the quality of the LBS research activities and ensure the continued development and propagation of research ideas emanating from the PAU research.
• To train experienced professionals outside established academic institutions on the rigor, techniques and art of research methodology.
