If you have an
MBA from a British business school, such as Luton
Business School, then you can expect things to
change for the better. If you are already in,
or plan a career in management, then an MBA is
one of the most prestigious qualifications you
can have.
And if your MBA is from a British
school, then you can expect a magic combination
of both management theory and management practice.
Luton Business School, like many other British
institutions of applied higher education, prides
itself on its important balance of contemporary
theory and practice. The core belief is that theory
on its own is likely to be too rigid and constraining.
Practice without reference to theory, however,
is likely to be a dangerous game of chance. By
involving both staff and students, most of whom
are industry managers, in the whole teaching experience,
there is a powerful fusion of contemporary relevance
and practice.
The British MBA programme of study is not designed
to produce a production line of managers who all
apply the same theories to every situation, but
rather it encourages debate and values the differences
between the organisations whose managers represent
a typical MBA study group. In this way, it inspires
its students to develop management solutions that
are brilliant through their simple matches to
an organisation's own strategic needs, culture
and environment. Formula-driven, off-the-shelf
techniques have no place in a programme that demands
individual solutions developed by individuals.
By embarking upon a course of MBA study at Luton
Business School, you will signal to your existing
or future employers your commitment to taking
charge of your own career and building your strategic
skills in readiness for increased management responsibility.
You may be tempted by the fact that on average
the 8,000 people who study British MBA programmes
every year increase their salaries by 27%. That's
quite amazing and you'll also be amazed by the
increase in your own self-confidence and your
esteem among your peers.
If you feel that you would like to experience
a British MBA programme, Luton Business School
offers a variety of ways to study, including the
Weekend Business School, the part time MBA and
also the full-time programme which commences each
Autumn. Amaze yourself; pick up the telephone
and call the MBA Helpdesk at Luton Business School
on + 44 (0) 1582 743945 and get full details of
how you too can add a little magic to your career
in management.
