My main motivation in applying for a Doctorate in Business Administration at your respected university is the achievement of my goal, which is the enhancement of my knowledge and skills in the field organizational management. People management, particularly human resource development, has always been a field of interest for me. This is evidenced by the nature of my previous occupation in a well-known supplier company in Iran where I held the role of the Manager of Training, Development and Planning.
However, despite the high commendations that I’ve received from my superiors and despite the knowledge I have gained from both my extensive work experience and my numerous academic endeavors, I believe that I still have not learned enough and that there is a plethora of knowledge that I have yet to obtain. Learning is a life-long process and furthering my knowledge and education is one of the ways by which I can grow, both personally and professionally.
With years of management experience and an MBA in General Management behind me, along with the many certifications and academic accolades I have received, I believe that a doctorate in Business Administration is the next step for me in both my career and educational path. A doctorate will enable me to enhance my management skills, particularly with regards to decision making and strategic management. By being able to develop a more robust and advanced set of skills, I will be able to assume more challenging roles in the organizations I work for, especially when I go back to my home country. Aside from enabling me to increase my level of competency at my chosen profession, this academic opportunity will also enrich me as a person in that it will allow me to satisfy my intellectual curiosity and pursue my interest in academic research.
For this endeavor, I believe that your acclaimed university will be the best academic institution that will guide me towards the achievement of my goal. Given your university’s reputation and prestige in the academe, it would be my greatest honor to be included in your roster of esteemed scholars. Needless to say, being granted the opportunity to pursue my doctorate at your university will give me the assurance that my future will rest in good hands.
