The best business leaders I know have a remarkable ability to pause, zoom out to ask the right questions and see through the noise. That is exactly what the HKUST DBA is about. It is a space for experienced leaders to slow the pace just enough to think deeply, test fundamental assumptions, and turn real problems from their organizations and industries into rigorous, practice-driven research and solutions.

HKUST Business School is a remarkable place to do this. Few business schools sit at such a powerful crossroads of technology, data, entrepreneurship, and global business, with Asia as both laboratory and launchpad. Our faculty combine world-class research with a strong instinct for impact and relevance, and our DBA participants bring decades of leadership experience into the classroom. The result is not theory for theory’s sake, but insight that travels back into boardrooms, organizations, and society to drive growth and innovation.

From insight to impact is not a slogan here, it is our day-to-day commitment. If you are curious, ambitious, and serious about shaping the future of business with evidence and ideas, I warmly invite you to explore the HKUST DBA journey.
