Let me first point out that I am a big fan of the executive DBA programs and the fact that many programs are opening up across the country. I think a middle ground between the academic route and the poorly practitioner route is definitely needed.
However, I wanted to discuss that there are likely going to be big differences between the career paths of these two degrees.
PhD programs are going to emphasize that you go the academic route, and become a professor.
DBA programs are going be ok with you contributing to the practitioner world.
Here are some things that concern me with either path.
1. From my point of view, the thing that you have to worry about the most is that you get a return on your investment. I would definitely look into who went the program and where they went after the program.
2. I would also look into the quality of the faculty. This will be the most important predictor of what you learn in the program. Make sure you see where they graduated, and who they are working with.
3. I would also see if there are established links to industry with the DBA path, and established links to academia with the PhD path.
4. Last, but not least, just because you got into a program does not mean you have to go do it. Think long and hard about what you are going to get by doing that degree.

David Maslach is a research professor of entrepreneurship, innovation, and business strategy, I discuss topics, such as behavioral science, strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship, and apply these to my new peer proofreading and editing platform. Topics include the sharing economy, altruism, investing in technology, starting a business, and bounded rationality. My favorite videos pertain to incentives, goal setting, and learning from failure to drive behaviors such as weight loss, stopping telemarketers, creating novel technologies, and creating new movements.
https://r3ciprocity.com: Peer proofreading and editing platform
A new platform where you can earn credits by editing other people’s documents. Use these credits to have your own work edited. If you do a good enough job, you can convert these credits to money.
The goal of the platform is to get people to ‘pay it forward’ and help other people out by creating incentives for people to give back.
