Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate graduate degree program in digital leadership around the world. This study analyzed key elements of graduate program in digital leadership using recommendations of previous research including name of institution, name of degree program, focus and credits for completion, tuition fees, admission requirements, and program strengths (benefits). Key words such as “digital leadership program”, “graduate program in digital leadership”, and “master’s degree in digital leadership” were utilized for the search through Google search engine. Results found that nine institutions had delivered graduate degree program in digital leadership. Interestingly, among these institutes, six of them were from European countries while two universities were from Asian countries, and only one was from the U.S. Five universities designed their program as a part-time program while the other five universities delivered a full-time graduate program in Digital Leadership. Among these institutes, GISMA Business School from Germany offered both part-time and full-time programs. For admission requirements relating to work experience, National University of Singaporeand The Hong Kong Polytechnic University equally required a minimum of 5 years work experience while ESCP Europe Business School needed at least 18-month of work experience.Findings also revealed that most of digital leadership programs offered by these nine institutions had placed an emphasis on the combination of coursework and project-based learning activities.This study recommended potential universities around the world to employ these findings to develop curriculum for graduate degree program in digital leadership
