Higher doctorates in Management are prestigious, degrees awarded to individuals who wish to make a significant and original contribution to the field of management through the recognition of a  body of work. The primary beneficiaries of higher doctorates in Management are experienced academics and senior professionals who seek formal recognition of their contributions to the discipline. 

Obtaining a higher doctorate can enhance an individual’s academic stature, opening up opportunities for higher-level academic positions, increased influence in their field, and greater access to research funding.  Additionally, these degrees can bolster the recipient’s credibility in consultancy roles, board memberships, and other leadership positions within the business community. Overall, higher doctorates serve to acknowledge and amplify the impact of leading experts who have significantly advanced the understanding and practice of management.

I am delighted to highlight the profound benefits of our Higher Doctorate Programs.

Two Unique Higher Doctorate - Professional or Academic Focus

Monarch’s Higher Doctorates program includes the Doctor of Management (D.M.) and the Doctor of Literature (D.Litt.), each catering to distinct professional and academic aspirations. The Doctor of Management is designed for seasoned managers and executives, focusing on documenting their career experiences and lessons learned in a retrospective manuscript that integrates practical insights with academic theory. In contrast, the Doctor of Literature is a research-based doctorate aimed at academic researchers pursuing post-doctoral studies. This program allows scholars to continue their research efforts, contributing significant new knowledge and obtaining a further higher doctoral degree. Together, these programs recognize and celebrate the substantial contributions of both experienced professionals and dedicated researchers.

The Doctor of Management (D.M.) program at Monarch is a prestigious higher doctorate designed for senior management professionals. It focuses on documenting career experiences and lessons learned, culminating in a 150-250 page manuscript. This retrospective work integrates practical insights with academic theory, offering valuable guidance for future management professionals. The program enhances candidates’ prestige and reputation, recognizing their significant contributions to the field of management.

As a Doctoral Research Institution Monarch Business School Switzerland offers distance post-doctoral programs and faculty training opportunities to existing Doctoral degree holders. The Post-Doctoral Fellowships are combined with the completion of the Doctor of Literature award.
