The world of business and management is going through rapid and profound changes;therefore new theories need to be created and novel strategies, as well as practices, needs to be implemented. Institutional leaders, policy makers, and administrators are confronted with novel situations in their respected professional field and indeed this has precipitated the need for new knowledge to be quickly translated into practice, which can be achieved with the help of advanced research activity. It is in this context that Lincoln University College introduced its innovative Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program – with its other post-graduate management education programmes.
