Globalization represents a revolutionary integration of capital, technology and information across national boarders in a way that is creating a single global market and, to some degree, a global village. While globalization is of greatest concern to businesses and agencies working transnationally, globalization trends affect all businesses whether or not they are truly global. The Doctorate in Business Administration in Global Management (DBA/GM) is a professional doctorate designed for the sophisticated manager with extensive work experience seeking advanced instruction in issues related to globalization. Through a capstone doctoral project the student is given the opportunity to integrate and synthesize the knowledge gained in the program and apply it in solving real-world problems created by globalization. The program provides the specialized knowledge and skills necessary to manage successfully in a rapidly changing, multicultural and multinational environment.

Students in this program are expected to be highly motivated, disciplined, self-starters. The capstone of the DBA program is the successful completion of a project that adds new thinking and knowledge to the understanding of the globalization phenomenon and applies that thinking to a specific company, economic sector, country, or region of the world.
