In a context where technology is revolutionizing our lives and industries, the Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) program in Information Systems represents a stimulating challenge. It offers the opportunity to deepen my understanding of the latest technological advances while updating my management skills, so as to position myself as a bridge between the worlds of business and engineering.
