COURSE SYLLABUS
BUSI 755
ORGANIZATIONAL AND EXECUTIVE COACHING
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Comprehensive overview of business coaching theory, methodology and techniques, including
organizational coaching theories and frameworks, coaching skills and techniques and executive
coaching, resulting in an experiential and individualized leader development process that builds a
leader’s capability to achieve short- and long-term organizational goals.
RATIONALE
Organizational and executive coaching form the foundation of the student’s ability to critically
evaluate aspects of organizational culture. This is accomplished through the practical application
of the methodologies, techniques, and assessments conducted within the executive coaching
framework. The specific application of the coaching strategies directly supports the
organization’s leadership in designing and implementing programs to improve current practices.
MISSION/VISION/PHILOSOPHY
The mission of the DBA program is to provide an opportunity for qualified students to attain
academic, professional, and practical competence—within the Christian worldview—which
prepares students for opportunities, and corresponding additional responsibilities, beyond the
master’s degree level. The DBA program emphasizes practical and real-world applications in
both the course work and the major applied doctoral research project requirements.
The vision of the DBA program is to produce graduates with intellectual and professional
competencies in the following areas:
•
the ability to present and defend arguments based on theories, concepts, and empirical
evidence in matters relating to research methodology and research design, as well as
those relating to the business disciplinary domain in which the research is located;
•
the ability to demonstrate the capacity for reflective and analytical business thinking;
•
the ability to draw together relevant concepts and theories from different business
disciplines in order to gain a better understanding of the organizational context in
which particular problems or opportunities arise;
•
the ability to analyze problems and issues arising in business and management
contexts, utilizing relevant theories, concepts, and empirical findings;
•
the ability to identify and analyze questions and issues in business; and
•
the ability to design, implement, and successfully conclude empirical research
projects.
Each of the above will be considered in light of biblical principles, and be integrated within the
Christian worldview.

BUSI 755 Course Syllabus
The DBA program philosophy supports both the program mission and vision, and is as follows.
PhD programs in business focus intensively on preparing candidates for academic careers and to
conduct highly specialized academic research, i.e., the development of new theory in business
and other related business fields. Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programs focus on
the application of theory rather than on the development of new theory. While also intended to
prepare graduates for academic careers, the DBA, by virtue of its focus on application of theory,
has more practical application in managerial settings than the PhD.
