The Benefits of an MBA Degree
The MBA is a challenging study program for the following reasons:
There is a great deal of interesting material to
absorb
An intense study format and
An experienced and international body of motivated MBA
students
The
MBA Studies format is demanding whether you choose full time or part time. A
solid preparation to each class session and class participation are
strategically important as amazing amount of material is covered during each
day. Teaching sessions are extremely interactive; the diversified work
experience and creativity are highly valued during in-class discussions.
Professional and active attitude are expected as well within teamwork
sessions. For the same reasons the MBA Programme is hands-on and well in touch
with the real business world. All these add to the value and quality of the
Programme. And this is why it is important to try to grab the experience others
are offering; equally crucial is to forward your work experience to others. Your
time spent at an MBA School will become your competitive advantage strategically
and in financial terms, sooner or later.
During the MBA Studies you and your colleagues form bonds that will most probably stay forever, the outcome being, on top of everything else: "speaking the same language". This network will be fruitful throughout your working life and beyond, and often you will find your colleagues from the least expected corners of the world.
I must admit that I have only been able to fully appreciate the advantages of my MBA Studies years after my graduation; after various jobs and positions held I could fully put into practice what I had learned. I also often received help and given a helping hand to many of my MBA ex-colleagues.
Your motivation is the professional business environment, the speed with which you absorb new things, and the creativity surrounding you. If you choose the innovative school that follows the needs of the market with respect to effective business operations (for example e-commerce, telecommunications), you will learn even more and really feel at the top of the technological developments.
Anyway, what you really learn during your MBA studies is time management and prioritizing. What you should know already before coming to study an MBA, is that quality is strategically important in business life and beyond.
