The focus of this programme is to identify a real management or management-related problem within an organisation, industry, or community, and to do research to find a solution to that problem. The solution that you propose must make a new contribution to either \u2013 or both \u2013 the practical and theoretical side of business management and or operations by adding to the existing body of knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>doctorate in business management<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/\" data-abc=\"true\"><b>Regenesys Business School<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> demands certain requirements and criteria be met.

Secondly, the thesis must address a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">real<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> problem that, once solved, will improve the organisation, business or community, as well as the world of knowledge. Thirdly, the problem should be investigated with valid and reliable scientific research methods. Normally this also requires knowledge of the core theories relevant to the problem environment. Finally, the DBM is a scholarly exercise, and as such it should not be pursued only to obtain a promotion in your job environment, but must be seen as an academic opportunity to gain knowledge and to contribute to the body of knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lp.regenesys.net\/study-rbs-dbm?utm_source=dbm_blog&amp;utm_medium=dbm_banner&amp;utm_campaign=study_dbm_online&amp;utm_content=what-is-a-doctorate-of-business-management-dbm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/What-is-a-DBM.jpg\" alt=\"Doctorate of Business Management\" class=\"wp-image-144158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/What-is-a-DBM.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/What-is-a-DBM-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/What-is-a-DBM-1024x536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_candidates_need_to_do\"><\/span><b>What candidates need to do<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All the above suggests that the ideal candidate will arrive at the programme having read a significant number of scientific articles on the topic (usually between 100 and 200 articles).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They will have, by then, clearly identified the problem to be investigated, know the key researchers on the topic, and have a clear research question.
