What is your question?

It's my understanding is it's a matter of the program being designed around the intention of the study. If you are looking to become a college professor or professional researcher than the PhD is the program for you. If you are looking to go beyond the MBA level of learning in order to become even more qualified to effectively administer business than the DBA is the appropriate path. In short, if you want to be a college professor or researcher than becoming a PhD is the right choice. On the other hand, if you want to become a captain of industry with knowledge that goes beyond the normal MBA, you're looking for a DBA. Of course, I could be completely wrong. I'm making this distinction based on having read multiple program descriptions from universities offering such degrees.

Second Exec-MBA Vs PhD

Second Exec-MBA Vs PhD?
To give you a little background, I am 30 years old, completed my Exec-MBA in a top B-school in India(IIM), working in a top IT company. Now thinking about "what next?" in my pursuit for knowledge, I'm not sure what I want to do next. A PhD in Strategic Management(that was my major in my MBA) Vs a second-exec-MBA from another top school. While a PhD in Strategic sounds exciting, I'm not sure how much it will help me in achieving my goal of becoming a CEO of top IT company in another 5-10 years. Any suggestion/insight will be definitely helpful. Please advise.

Where are you looking at doing your Ph.D.? You say you completed your Exec-MBA from one of the IIMs? Perhaps you were referring to successful completion of the PGP-X program? Although a lot of premier B-schools in India will accept your PGP-X and grant you admission to doctoral level programs, such as say the Fellowship Programme in Management offered at the IIMs, I really doubt if you could gain admission to a Ph.D. programme offered by an UGC recognised university. What you get at the end of successful completion of the PGP-X is an award and not a degree.

Since you have done your MBA from a top B school in India and your major subject interest is Strategic Management I would suggest you to do a more specialised Doctorate degree rather than a general PHD. Information Technology or Management Information Systems is one of business management areas related where there is a huge demand for professionals. Rather a Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) would be more useful in your case.Check out the source given it will give you a better understanding. Cheers !

You can go into management or human resources probably. You can work your way up to a management position in a hospital. Maybe a CEO I think you could definitely make a lot of money with your degree.

I would never help anyone into anything sustainable or climate change related. It's all a load of crap made up to burden us with further taxes. Climate change is not man made! Everyone read about codex alimentarius to see how sustainability projects will effect us all!

You first need to see which universities offer PhD programs for the subject you are interested. A simple google search will give you results. Also, speak to professors in your dept to see if they know of any programs in the US. The universities website will have information on individual programs. They will tell you about requirements for admission, tuition, and any research or teaching opportunities associated w the program. They have instructions and how and when to apply for the programs. You may be a little too late in the year to apply for Autumn 2010 admission, as many graduate schools stopped taking applications in January or earlier, so you may need to wait to apply for next spring semester (2011) or the following autumn. Keep checking the universities' websites to see any updates about when applications have opened.

speaking only for myself, the classes and problems one works on in real life are much more interesting for I/O Psych.


2
phd is a prestigious degree while mba will offer u a better job and an increase in ur salary go 4 it


3
They both are good field, it really depends on what kind of job you would like to do in the future. Master program is a lot easier than PhD program for busy working adult. I have tried to get my PHD before and they have so much homework that I drop the class and go for another Master degree instead.

get an official help address, foreward it, and ask them if it's real. From looking at the information they want, though, they're trying to steal your identity.

classic Nigerian scam full of misspellings and grammatical errors. Laugh at it and move on.

Answer: Just go ahead and buy a new car and then start burning $100 bills baby because you're rich! You should call your boss and tell him/her off right now. Quit, you don't need it because you're a luck millionaire.

It's a scam to get hold of your details so they can rip you off. There's a phone number there. The 234 prefix means it's from Nigeria, a so called Nigerian scam. Call the police and they may be able to trace the culprits from the phone number and put them away.!!

Do not fall prey to such gimmicks. 10 Lakh dollars is too much. And this prize is given to 50 winners. Cannot digest.

NO

So to this site: http://www.419eater.com/ Read it and have fun!

Dr. John Mulu PhD? Either Dr. John Mulu or John Mulu, Phd. And Sir Dr. Jugard Bright is wrong too. Dr. Sir Lugard Bright is the correct title. I wonder where Oceanic is? The Nigerian scam takes yet another form. Did you know that it pre-dates the Internet? You have been spammed.

This is a classic scam originating in Nigeria and other 3rd world countries....DON'T RESPOND or send them any information. You should immediately delete it.

This question has been asked a thousand times. http://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result;_ylt=Ah8bZus9oHVa.IQq3F2rMOfpy6IX?p=thesis Your question is quite unclear. Are you looking to find which is the best career path? Ill answer this as if you asking which program you should study. 1 First and foremost a PhD in accounting is quite ridiculous. Ive never heard of anyone going for that. Accounting would get you out of school the soonest with a good job maybe not the highest paying but.... A masters in Accounting is acceptable to: Big firms Small firms Independent practice. 2 Ive never heard much about a Ph.D. in commerce. It sounds obscure. You might have a hard time finding a school. And once 3 A Ph.D. in management seems odd also. Management responsibilities mainly are personality. I don't think many CEOs have a Ph.D. in management. 4. Finance Ph.D.s study the theory of money, interest,, banking, and investments. Your research will deal mainly with those elements. 5. A Ph.D. in Econ is hardcore theory of why people spend money and how companies compete to make the most money from those people. On real point of being an Econ Ph.D. is that you will be the guy who says what a lot of conservatives say but has gone to school for so long that it sticks. PhDs in econ often advisement and are in high profile economic trend analysis positions. PhD level degrees in most fields are mainly geared toward research and/or teaching.
