The Doctor of Business Administration path is demanding, yet candidates often navigate its unique challenges without a clear roadmap. This candid guide decodes the DBA journey, from shaping purpose and conducting research to balancing well-being, ethics, and life after the defense.
Each chapter pairs an authentic story with one memorable rule, practical guidance, and a concrete next step. The concept aligns naturally with the 10 Little Rules editorial model of turning personal journeys into shared wisdom, and extends the series into professional and executive education, with a clearly defined individual readership and an attractive institutional market among DBA programs, doctoral cohorts and executive education communities.
Dr. Valrie Grant and Dr. Kelly Burich, founders of The DBA Chronicles (DBAChronicles.org), have found there still remain nuances and confusion around needs, expectations, and outcomes in DBA and Executive DBA programs. This book is the companion many doctoral candidates wish they had: a candid guide to purpose, research, progress, community, ethics, well-being and life after the defense.
