Why the DBA in Management and Technology?
The DBA in Management and Technology is an executive doctoral program for professionals with extensive experience. The program is designed for those who want to make a difference in their organizations and broader communities by harnessing the potential of disruptive technologies.
Our aim is to develop a new kind of “scholarly practitioner” who can apply cutting-edge research to current managerial problems that require a high level of understanding of new technologies and their potential.
In addition, this executive doctoral degree will provide high calibre professionals with outstanding networking opportunities and a chance to take part in a community of learning and innovation that contributes to the development of industrial best practices, to shaping welfare-enhancing public policy and to channeling technological disruption into a force for good in society.
The alliance between ICADE and ICAI in this program provides students with a unique perspective that combines the best of both worlds: business management and technological innovation.
Collaboration with MIT Sloan
MIT Sloan School of Management and Universidad Pontificia Comillas have signed a Memorandum of Agreement to collaborate in the area of graduate education. Our DBA in Management and Technology students will take a course at MIT Sloan on the topic of Disruptive Business Models. We are convinced that this type of activity will herald the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship between our institutions.
"The DBA is more than a stimulating managerial course—it's a platform for experienced professionals to create high-impact knowledge, effectively address their specific industry challenges, and relish the growth of their professional network."

Our international dimension is further enhanced by our collaboration with MIT Sloan School of Management and UC Berkeley.
DBA vs PhD
Both, the PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) and the DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) are doctoral degrees. The key differences between them are:
- Target student: young graduates (PhD) vs. senior professionals (DBA)
- Motivation: career in academia (PhD) vs. personal and professional challenge and recognition (DBA)
- Research focus: gaps in the academic literature (PhD) vs. a practical problem from the business world that is considered relevant by both business managers and scholars (DBA)
- Regulation: official degree regulated by the Ministry of Education (PhD) vs. dependent on the prestige of ICADE-ICAI
- Dedication and program length: full-time studies 4-5 years (PhD) vs. part-time studies 3 years (DBA)
