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.
