MBA study – why you should be bothered
[Download Chapter from ‘The Growing Business Handbook at the end of this piece)
As Chief Executive of the Association of MBAs for over seven years I can claim to be a bit of an authority on the MBA qualification. And as an MBA graduate I can personally testify to the benefits of the qualification both in terms of the learning experience and the career opportunities it gave me. So when I was asked to write for ‘The Growing Business Handbook’ about talent development and the benefits of MBA study, I found I had plenty to say and lots of experience to draw on. My contribution to the “Kogan Page” Handbook is attached for downloading. Have a look. It will answer most of your questions about the what? why? and how? of MBA study. ‘The Growing Business Handbook’, endorsed by the Institute of Directors, was published in March 2011. It is a useful reference tool for all businesses, focusing on issues such as funding, innovation, customer service and international expansion. The Handbook costs £29.99 but you can have my chapter for free!
If you are seriously considering MBA study and want to know more, I am happy to answer your questions.
