The Doctor of Management (DM or DMgt) is an applied research doctorate (or professional practice doctorate) with a degree focus in management, leadership, and organizational topics."[1]
The intention of the DM is to advance the skills of professionals in research, analysis, theory, and practice in organizations.[1] The DM combines theory and applied research to understand practical outcomes and implications of research in several different business environments.[1][2] Furthermore, a DM degree may enable holders to become faculty members at academic institutions.[1] The degree was first offered at Case Western Reserve University in 1995.
