Necessary for any DBA student
This book gives the bigger picture of the DBA and explains how it is different from a PhD. It also gives the qualification its status as an equivalent to the conventional PhD but with a different purpose and conducted using different tools.
I recommend this book for all DBA students.

This book is a very useful resource for DBA students and their supervisors. Very practical and accessible, it addresses a number of key questions such as the nature of the professional doctorate, advice on how to carry out such research, and how to supervise DBAs.
