Page last updated on 19/06/2025
The title of Doctor Honoris Causa is an honorary academic distinction awarded by the Business Science Institute to distinguished individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of management, research, or society at large, without necessarily having followed the traditional DBA program.
Through this recognition, the institution honors thought leaders, influential researchers, or high-level professionals whose intellectual, academic, or managerial impact fully reflects the values of excellence, innovation, and international reach upheld by the Business Science Institute’s DBA.
