Alumni speak
DBA is a very personalized product. If you do a research relevant for you the degree will follow. You could either do something you know very well or start pioneering the areas new for you. I started from the known at very quickly found myself in the unchartered waters. I researched energy sector executives’ motivation because we all do the research in motivation in our everyday jobs. I was bound up in my research as it opened the new avenues for me.
When I was taking MIM’s MBA I came to the conclusion that I need more academic knowledge to succeed in my business. Therefore, I decided that doctoral research would be a good answer to the situation. First of all, finding the right time budget turned out to be the main challenge. Unless you invest considerable time, you fail. Secondly, it is critical to identify the topic which is relevant for you. Thirdly, speaking English will not hurt as most of the research is in English. Get ready read a lot. If you are motivated and resilient, you will succeed!
