Why choose our Executive Doctor of Business Administration (EDBA)
EDBA Program Director: Dr Marguerite Kolar
EDBA Information Session 5 March 2008
Join us at our upcoming Adelaide Information Session where the Doctoral Program Director, Dr Marguerite Kolar will present the structure of the Executive Doctor of Business Administration program in detail.
This is an opportunity to find out about course content, assessment and learning outcomes. This session will give you insight into how to indulge your mind with challenging thinking and improve the performance of your business.
The goal of the University of South Australia’s Executive Doctorate of Business Administration (EDBA) is to develop the reflective practitioner – a senior manager who not only has absorbed the knowledge of the best experts in the field but can evaluate and use that knowledge in their own business. The program combines an update in theory in eight major fields of management with practical application to a business; probably one in which the manager now works.
For each course in the EDBA, program participants will read the best writings in both the academic and professional literature as well as the theories used by academics to explore that area. They will then write a case study of their own or another organisation; using the academic knowledge they have gained to explore the past experience of the organisation. Eight case studies will form a portfolio of ideas and their application that will be a permanent record of your learning.
Not only will learning occur through reading the best publications available but you will engage with other learners to develop your thinking in a group setting. The University staff will challenge you and ask you to engage with many new ideas. This thinking will not be just mere academic ideas but you will learn to think about how to relate it to your work life.
