Overview

Our increasingly international and interconnected world is creating novel and more complex challenges for executives in all industries, markets, and organizations. We believe that international structures and processes of our economy can be managed far more successfully if the people entrusted with them are equipped to operate effectively across national and cultural boundaries. Our DBA program offers advanced expertise in this realm, providing a one-of-a-kind development opportunity for ambitious and intellectual curious executives and entrepreneurs, whose work places them in international and intercultural settings, and who intend to master the resulting challenges meaningfully, insightfully, sustainably, and with intellectual rigor.

For this program, we have teamed up with the renowned Silpakorn University in Bangkok, Thailand – one of the best in Southeast Asia – to offer DBA candidates a well-designed and thoroughly coached pathway towards the doctorate degree, which is awarded by Silpakorn University. Jointly offering the DBA with Silpakorn University ensures that candidates’ doctoral journeys not only encompass intellectual and methodological rigor, but also a fruitful context for international and intercultural learning and development. 
On the pathway towards the DBA, candidates may additionally acquire the diploma Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) International Management, awarded by the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts.
