MBA Courses
Checklist - Some useful tips
A simple checklist of points
to consider in order to assist people embarking on
choosing mba courses and institutions.
Why
Study Business in the United States?
Why should you seriously
consider studying business in the United States? The
short answer to the question is simple: The United
States offers among the very best opportunities for
business education anywhere in the world.
Pioneering Qualifications for a Financial Career
The financial services sector,
like many other industries, has literally shrunk in
terms of access within the global arena. E-Commerce
rules, and the development in information technology
is accelerating at an awe-inspiring rate.
Business Schools Take a Global
View
There is no substitute for the experience of living
and working abroad. Learning to adapt to the social
and business cultures of another country is a key skill
for those likely to work with overseas partners. The
Association of MBAs reports that there is a growing
trend amongst overseas executives to supplement their
international business experience by studying for an
MBA within the UK.
MBAs and Postgraduate Programmes in the US
Before investing
the money, time and energy in obtaining a business degree,
one should determine the quality of the programs being
offered. One factor to consider is whether the program
is accredited by a specialised accrediting agency.
The
Value of MBAs from a Corporate Perspective
The business world
is changing at a rate that would have been unimaginable
in the past. Rapid advancements in technology, changes
in customer behaviour, higher expectations from financial
investors and a general sense of impatience are placing
tremendous and often paradoxical demands on the top
management of corporations. Dealing with such change
is requiring them to modify the way they organise themselves
AACSB
Accreditation - Indicator of Quality
The
dictionary has almost a dozen definitions for the word
'quality', but when you get right down to it, quality
represents achievement and commitment. Achieving accreditation
by the International Association for Management Education
(AACSB) is a clear indicator not only of quality, but
of instructional commitment to a philosophy of continuous
improvement.
AACSB
International - The Association to Advance Collegiate
Schools of Business
This is an exciting
time to prepare for a career in business management.
There are many changes in how business is being conducted
around the world. Clearly, this is a time of great transition
in the creation and distribution of goods and services
globally.
WHY
AN MBA?
I recently
gave a series of workshops in Europe on "How the
MBA Helps Your Career." I focused my remarks on
three tangible outcomes that all students should expect
to achieve from their MBA programs:
The Changing Face of the Global Economy
On 28 January 2002, the European
Policy Centre held a policy briefing on the changing
face of the global economy. Keynote speaker was Jeffrey
R. Immelt, CEO of General Electric since 7 September
2001, who spoke about his company's expansion strategy,
especially in Europe.
The Liberal Arts
My
friend Richard has an MFA in Creative Writing. My friend
Joan has an undergraduate degree in art history. If
the popular stereotypes had been accurate, those degrees
should have qualified them for successful careers behind
the counter in the fast food industry. But to the best
of my knowledge, neither Richard nor Joan has ever hawked
a Happy Meal or super sized soft drink.
