It is good to know that Accredited DBAs and Executive Doctorates offering non Phd doctorate degrees. I am thinking to plan my career in this perspective. I am pretty comfortable with the list of universities which have provided in the blog post. I would like to go with "City University of Hong Kong", I suggest pass this information to as many as you can, so that people may get awareness about this DBA course.
Thanks for sharing the information.
