IIM Admission CAT

2010-01-30T00:30:00.000-08:00

After all the hullabaloo over the Common Admission Test (CAT) going online, some of the Indian Institutes of Management have decided to

rework the formula for selecting candidates, reducing the weightage for the CAT score.

For instance, IIM-Kozhikode -- which placed the highest weightage on CAT scores all these years, 90 points -- has proposed reducing it to 50 points for this academic year's admission. "This year, we plan to consider candidates' performance in Class-X and XII examinations, too, apart from their work experience," said a senior IIM-Kozhikode faculty.

He, however, added that the decision had nothing to do with the technical glitches that marred the conduct of the entrance exam this year. "We wanted to bring in this change for the past two-three years. We've finally decided to bring down the CAT weightage from 90 points to 50 points this year."

IIM-Bangalore, meanwhile, has gone the Ahmedabad way. The Bangalore B-school has done away with group discussion and expects candidates to be prepared for essay writing, something that IIM-A started in 2007. Students will be given 30 minutes to write on a topic that will "typically reflect current political, economic and business affairs, though other topics such as sports and those that require more creative thinking can also be included", said an IIM-B official.

IIM-A didn't divulge detailed information regarding the selection process last year. This time around, too, it's unlikely that the points it gives for the CAT score would be made public. But officials confirmed that like last year, the highest weightage would be given to a candidate's performance in the personal interview.

Himanshu Rai, chairman (admissions) at IIM-Lucknow, said the institute would place 30 points on CAT scores and the remaining 70% would depend on a host of other areas like group discussion, personal interview, Class-X and XII marks and work experience. "We want to bring in more diversity on the campus, in terms of fewer engineers and more women students," Rai added.

Sources in IIM-Calcutta said the selection process was likely to remain unchanged.

The new IIMs expected to start this academic year -- Trichy, Ranchi, Rohtak and in Rajasthan -- are yet to take any decision on the selection procedure. Admissions to these institutes will be conducted by the existing IIMs.

CAT TILE

* IIM-Ahmedabad: CAT score will get less weightage than personal interview like last year, also to be factored in are essay writing, Class X and XII scores

* IIM-Bangalore: No GD and case study discussion this year. Instead, candidates will be given 30 minutes to write an essay. Merely 20 points for CAT

* IIM-Kozhikode: Weightage for CAT down to 50 points from 90 points, the institute will consider scores of Classes X and XII, apart from work experience. Last year, 10 points were set aside for work experience

* IIM-Lucknow: CAT weightage to remain constant at 30 points. But the institute plans to slightly tweak weightage for Class X/ XII marks as well as work experience

MBA International Business

2010-01-20T07:18:00.000-08:00

What is International Business :
We call those International that are not restricted by geographical or political boundaries. Hence business operations without geographical boundaries, i.e., global commerce and the Internet have made the world smaller, but far more competitive. So one deals with terms like international business, multinational, transnational, globalization, multi domestic and the global marketplace very often. This arena along with the traditional export and import industry provides pathway to a multitude of careers.

It can be well imagined that international business success requires more business acumen than managing a domestic enterprise. The traditional business functions and values are there to be managed, but one also must understand and work from a global perspective that adds politics, culture, monetary variables, time, and distance to the international business management equation. There is also international marketing which is simply the application of marketing principles to more than one country.
Why International business

In today’s global economy, many businesses are looking to expand into an international market, therefore, careers in international business are expected to grow at a faster than normal rate. From banks to manufacturing firms to government agencies, almost all industries have a need for people with a background in international business. There is such a wide range or opportunities available that someone with strong business skills and an international mindset should be able to easily find a job in a field that interests them.

Moreover, a functional expertise in business finance, finance & accounting, International Human resource management, marketing, e-business and information technology would improve an individual's chances of obtaining a top position. Familiarity with a foreign language and international business practices, interest in people-development and teaching will be an asset and an added competitive advantage.

MBA For Doctors

2010-01-20T07:14:00.000-08:00

MBA seems to be the most sought after post graduation option nowadays. So, if you are a doctor you must have contemplated this choice while thinking of MD or MS. There are many management specializations for medical students. If you are confused whether to change your profession as a doctor and become a manager then you should follow your aptitude. If you are very good as a doctor then you should pursue a MD or MS in the area of your interest. Or else, if you have good managerial skills then very well go for MBA where there is a lot of scope for you.
Doctors who go into management can find great jobs in hospital management and administration. There are big medical electronic companies like Philips or GE which would absorb MBA grads with a background of medicine. These companies develop products and services which can best be done by doctors. Besides, there is tremendous scope for clinical research. Doctors with management background can do a phenomenal job in terms of product development and management.
It is not necessary that you have to move away from your medical profession once you have a management degree. You can very well continue to practice. Infact, a doctor with managerial skills can provide the best treatment, which is cheapest for the patients. A MD/MBA integrated degree is very popular in the west. More and more students are showing interest in health-care management.
Considering the amount of money spent on becoming a doctor, it is necessary that you have the skills to earn as much (if not more) in as little time as possible; for which business knowledge is crucial. However good a doctor you may be, or however great your clinic is, you need patients to keep coming in and that requires planning and strategic overview of things. However, people in the medical community are not simply pursuing MBAs as a sort of one-stop shop for business education. There are also master's degrees in public health care and executive MBA programs for doctors.
Whatever said and done, a MBA degree will help you make money but not save a life, only clinical knowledge will help you do that. So, it is very essential that you practice as a doctor for not less then 5 years before you pursue a MBA degree.
You can find employment in hospitals and other healthcare organisations. The tasks would typically involve managing the staff, health services and containing the expenditure. While both medical and non-medical graduates can take up the course, medical graduates would be dealing more with the technical aspects of hospital administration.
Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Maharashtra offers Master of Hospital Administration. The eligibility criteria are graduation in any discipline with minimum 50 per cent marks and age not more than 45 years. The admission is based on entrance test, group discussion and personal interview. For details, visit www.tiss.edu
Manipal University, Manipal Institute of Management, Manipal offers MBA in Hospital Administration and Health Care Management. The eligibility criterion is graduation in any discipline with minimum 50 per cent marks. The admission is based on performance at Management Aptitude Test, group discussion and personal interview. For details, visit www.manipal.edu

MBA --Group Discussion

2010-01-20T07:11:00.000-08:00

Group Discussion is a very important round in any selection process, be it for an MBA course, campus recruitment or for any graduate/post graduate degree. The selection committee conducts GD to gauge whether the candidate has certain personality traits and/or skills that it desires in its members, say for example

§ Ability to work in a team
§ Communication skills
§ Leadership skills
§ Reasoning ability
§ Initiativeness
§ Assertiveness
§ Creatibility
§ Flexibility
§ Ability to think and act independently

Normally groups of 8-10 candidates are formed into a leaderless group, and are given a specific situation to analyse and discuss within a given time limit. The group may be given a Case Study and asked to come out with a solution for a problem. The group may be given a topic and asked to discuss on the same. A panel will observe the proceedings and evaluate the members of the group.

Let’s discuss some few relevant points which one should remember while appearing for a GD. One needs to know what one's objective in the group is---- to be noticed by the panel and to contribute meaningfully in an attempt to help the group reach the right consensus.

1) The first thing is that the panel should notice you. Merely making a meaningful contribution and helping the group arrive at a consensus is not enough.

· You must ensure that the group hears you. If the group hears you, so will the evaluator.

· You need to be assertive. It depends on you how you steer the group in the right direction, once it gets stuck to something. This gives you the chance to showcase your leadership skills.

· Most importantly, you have to make your chances. Many group discussion participants often complain that they did not get a chance to speak. The fact is that in no group discussion will you get a chance to speak. There is nothing more unacceptable in a GD than keeping one's mouth shut or just murmuring things which are inaudible.

2) The second most essential thing is that your contribution to the group should be meaningful. For that you need to have a good knowledge base. You should be able to think logically and hence put forth you ideas cohesively. The quality of what you said is more valuable than the quantity. It doesn’t help if you shout at the top of your voice and speak at great length, what matters most is what you speak and how it creates an impact on the group as well as the evaluators.

3) The last most important thing is that you must be clearly seen to be attempting to build a consensus. This shows your ability to work in a team, your ability to adjust yourself in new surroundings and help others in your team to reach a definite conclusion amidst difference of opinions. After all this is what all Group Discussions aim at: To be able to discuss and arrive at a consensus.

To be able to meet the above requirements during a Group Discussion, one should keep in mind the following basic mantras:

a) Be Yourself. Be as natural as possible and don’t try to be someone you are not.

b) Take time to organize your thoughts. Don’t suddenly jump to any conclusion. Think before you speak so that you don’t speak anything irrelevant to the topic being discussed.

c) Don’t make the mistake of looking at the panel while you are speaking. You are in a Group Discussion and you are expected to discuss among group members, so always look at your group members while you are speaking.

d) Seek clarifications if you have any doubts regarding the subject, before the discussion commences.

e) Your body language says a lot about you - your gestures and mannerisms are more likely to reflect your attitude than what you say.
f) Never try to show your dominance. Be assertive, speak yourself and let others speak as well.

g) Don’t lose your cool if anyone says anything you object to. The key is to stay objective: Don't take the discussion personally.

h) Show your leadership skills. Motivate the other members of the team to speak. Be receptive to others' opinions and do not be abrasive or aggressive.

i) Remember, opening the discussion is not the only way of gaining attention and recognition. If you do not give valuable insights during the discussion, all your efforts of initiating the discussion will be in vain.

Don’t be disheartened if you did not do well in your First Group Discussion. Instead try to learn from your past mistakes. Remember,
Practice makes man perfect!!!!!

MBA In A Nutshell

2010-01-20T07:05:00.000-08:00

First of all one must be clear about an M.B.A Program, i.e. what is it all about, its relevance and then decide about going in for it.

M.B.A is a ‘Masters’ program, which prepares students for various functions and positions in the ‘Business World’.

Why do majority of students and practicing executives join an M.B.A program?

First and foremost for getting a good job with a decent remuneration.
Since the Business activities sphere is very large and diverse, there are many career options and job opportunities for the job seekers.
Students with diverse academic backgrounds are eligible for admission and there is no bar for any graduate student, with sound academic credentials.
A management career appears to be attractive and glamorous.
Students with specific interest in and passion for self-entrepreneurship can learn a lot about ‘Business Management’ and can arm themselves with sound and relevant education.

Children and Parents from business families are increasingly seeking professional education before entering the family business.
It is in vogue and fashionable to acquire and flaunt an M.B.A degree.
You have to carefully decide your own reasons for choosing to go in for an M.B.A program. In any case whatever your rationale may be, management education is very stimulating, useful and rewarding.
It is recommended that decision to go in for an M.B.A degree should be taken much before completion of the graduate degree or in the beginning of your professional career, in case you want to acquire some work experience before seeking admission.
You must prepare a list of the Top 10 or Top 20 Business Schools and others also, alongside their eligibility criterion and the type of entrance examination. Most of the good schools require students to appear for C.A.T and some for G.M.A.T tests.

The essential focus areas in which the students are tested are: -
Command over English language, i.e. expression, vocabulary, precision and grammar.
Logical and Reasoning ability- this requires basic knowledge of Math and Statistics, besides of course logical thinking in general.
Knowledge about the National and World affairs, specially the current ‘hot topics’
Leadership Qualities and Public Speaking prowes, which are mainly tested through ‘Group Discussions’.

MBA Examination Pattern

All the written tests are based on multiple-choice type objective questions and are mainly conducted on-line.
The ratio of the number of questions to be answered and the time allotted is very challenging, e.g. one has to answer 60 questions in 45 minutes.
You cannot go to the next question before answering the previous one as per the latest pattern. This means that you cannot run through the question paper from top to bottom, solving the problems, which are easy for you and go back to the top again for the more difficult ones.
The algorithms are continuously redesigned and you cannot predict the positive, neutral and negative marking weightage.
It essentially boils down to ‘speed’, thorough preparation with an understanding of the subject matter and a cool minded approach.

How to Prepare for MBA Entrance

Start working on your language skills and the communication ability. For this you must read a standard National Daily Newspaper and a regular News Magazine on a daily basis, besides any other reading of your choice. This will also increase your awareness about the current affairs.
For correct vocabulary, spellings and grammatical usage, consult a standard Dictionary and note down what you have checked.
For better-spoken expression, watch a good T V news program conducted by a news anchor who speaks in an easy and accent free tone. This has to be done everyday (the same program).

If you are self-conscious, you can practice by reading the newspaper aloud in front of a mirror for 15 minutes everyday.
Commerce, non-medical and other students who have optional math in school and college MUST take the subject, no matter how difficult they find it to be. Others can start take private coaching from a very early stage.
Maximum number of students who qualify are from the engineering disciplines and have a strong math background. The others are well advised not to underestimate this fact and to prepare hard to close the gap.
Solving puzzles and participating in quiz competitions will enhance your logical ability.
Invest in good standard C.A.T and G.M.A.T preparation books and start taking on-line tests to check / enhance your score.

Determine your weak areas and work on them for continuous improvement.
Be prepared and open to ask for guidance and help from parents and friends.
Join a standard Coaching Program, preferably for TWO years in succession. It should be a physical tutoring program and not a distance learning one for real effectiveness.
Check with seniors and friends who have earlier got admission to good business schools and note down relevant points out of their experience.
This list obviously is not complete but is meant to give you a clear idea of how-to-go-about-it.

A word of advice-do not be worried or over-confident. Apart from your inherent talents, serious and focused preparation is required by just about every one. Also you have to not only ‘Work Hard’ but also ‘Work Smart’ to get the most out of your efforts.

MBA - Cost Effort Time

2010-01-15T21:45:00.000-08:00

Are you a job-seeker who is looking for more responsibility and pay, seeking more leverage in obtaining a work/life balance, or contemplating a move into management -- and are considering returning to school to get your MBA? Or perhaps a job-seeker exploring changing careers by going back to school for your MBA? Or perhaps a consultant looking to add a credential to your dossier. Or perhaps a college junior or senior contemplating going straight through and obtaining your MBA right after your undergraduate degree?

Regardless of your reasons, if you are contemplating attending graduate school to obtain your MBA, you should read this article before you make your final decision. This article will take you through all the important issues you need to contemplate before making your decision of whether -- and when -- to obtain your MBA.

What is an MBA? It's a Master of Business Administration degree, granted after one to two years of graduate-level university study that provides training in the theory and practice of business management. The MBA is basically a document that certifies that you have a general competency in all the major functional management roles you'll find in the modern corporation. An MBA is a career accelerator across a number of industries and MBA graduates can usually command higher salaries.

Ideal Time to Get MBA
When is the best time to enroll in an MBA program? The obvious answer is to enroll at a point in your career when the MBA is necessary to take your career to the next level, but the choice is never that simple.

For the college undergrad, the biggest question you need to ask yourself is why -- why are you interested in going straight through and getting your MBA right after your bachelor's degree? The top-ranked programs will not even admit you if you don't have at least several years of experience, and a freshly minted MBA with little or no job experience is often in a much tougher job hunt than a recent college grad with little or no job experience.

For the job-seeker, the question about getting your MBA involves how as much as when. Will you keep working while earning your MBA in a part-time program or do you have the financial resources to quit your job and return to school full-time? Will your current employer help finance your MBA? Do you need the MBA as part of a career change -- and if so, how are you going to do it?

Finally, there is the question of the economy. Some people think it's a good hedge to get an MBA during an economic slowdown -- a safe haven -- rather than face the tough job market; however, when the economy is bad, even having an MBA is no guarantee of obtaining a lucrative job offer. The best advice? Talk to recruiters and MBA career placement counselors -- and read the current trends in magazines such as Business Week, Success, U.S. News and World Report.

MBA Enrollment Trends
The number of MBA degrees conferred annually has seen explosive growth over the last few decades, going from under 5,000 MBAs in 1960 to more than 100,000 MBAs in 2000. Enrollment is also influenced by the economy, and as the economy turns toward a downturn, both recent grads and displaced workers head back to earn their MBAs.

Because of the growing number of graduate business programs that confer more and more MBA degrees, the degree itself is not as special or highly-valued as in the past. An MBA alone will not be the magic key to the door of career and job-hunting success.

Types of MBA
One of the questions you'll need to answer is whether you are interested in a general MBA, which is often shorter in duration, or a specialized MBA, which may take longer but make you more marketable.

Regardless of the type of MBA, the core topics you'll encounter include:
# Accounting
# Quantitative analysis
# Economics
# Marketing
# Organizational behavior

Specialized MBAs offer more advanced study in a particular area of business (such as marketing) or a particular industry (such as higher education).

Finally, you'll need to determine the value of the "name" of the program you are considering. If you are searching for a big push that fast tracks your career, snagging an MBA from one of the top schools in the country may be the ticket. But, if you're looking to simply get ahead and move your careers along, don't discount the many MBA programs that are unranked but that offer you the degree and value you need. (See the link for Business Week, below, which is one of several organizations that rank MBA programs.)

MBA Costs -- and Returns
According to one salary guide, an MBA is worth about $10-30,000 a year over a bachelor's degree, but the salary increase you could see may be much less -- or much more. Factors that can affect your salary include:

    * whether you stay with your current employer or seek a job with a new employer.
    * the amount of relevant experience you have for the job you are seeking.
    * the reputation of the graduate school you attended.
    * the type of job you are seeking -- and the level of supply/demand for workers.
    * the industries where you are seeking a job.
    * the location of the jobs you are seeking.

But don't forget to factor in the costs as well, with the average cost of graduate study leading to an MBA at about $40,000. Tuition and expenses add up to about $54,000 per nine-month academic year (resulting in an investment of more than $100,000 for the full-time two-year MBA) at Wake Forest University, one of the premier MBA programs. You'll find tuition closer to $12,000 at lesser known programs with generic MBA degrees.

What an MBA Can Do for Your Career
If you're looking for the MBA to help you get into the executive suite, it may be just the ticket you need. According to a study by Accountemps, a global temporary staffing service for accounting and finance professionals, 80 percent of executives responding to the survey said that a graduate degree in business is still important to reach senior management ranks within most companies.

And there is growing evidence that having an MBA not only gives you more leverage in dictating new job titles and salary, but also gives you leverage in achieving a better balance between work (read: fewer hours working) and life outside work.

Final Words of Wisdom
Whatever you do, don't jump into an MBA program without doing all the necessary research and introspection. And once you have made the firm decision to attend a graduate business program, make sure you read one of our other articles: Criteria for Choosing a Graduate Program.

Part Time MBA

2010-01-15T21:41:00.000-08:00

Part-time MBA programs are mainly structured for working professionals. Classes for part-time MBA are held in the evenings and/or over weekends. Since there are no full-day classes, students can juggle between work and lectures.

There are some B-schools offering part-time MBA programs in India. Usually there are no internships because students who take up this program have certain required work experience. Part time MBAs offer the same ability to specialize as full time MBA programs. These MBAs are spread over a longer period of time which ranges from three to five years.

Part time MBA is famous in the corporate world. They are also useful for people looking for job change. Since classes are conducted after office hours, new learning can be developed without affecting the current job. .

Part time MBA students’ learning culture is unique because these students have already experienced the nature of corporate world and this brings in their own set of unique work experiences that then can mould, re-mould or change after completion of the MBA. Some people feel that part time MBA does not have as much scope as full time MBA. However, this depends on a lot of factors like work experience, financial background, available time etc

Part time MBAs allow students to take loans, infact the universities and the B-schools help the students in receiving their loans.

Some institutes also have tie ups with banks so that a student faces no difficulty in his or her education. Since part time MBA is spread over a longer period of time, students unwilling to take loan can pay their fees on installment basis through their current earning. Scholarships may or may not be available. It is better to check the flexibility of the part time program if your work requires you to travel frequently.

Some companies also finance part time MBAs for their deserving employees. Part time MBA is a great way to move up the corporate ladder.

Why MBA

2010-01-15T21:23:00.000-08:00

Why MBA - that’s the biggest question for all MBA applicants.

While working on my applications I encountered this question several times. Each time I had a better explanation but still not fully satisfied with my answers somewhere in the back of my mind. The AdComs generally doesn't like a candidate who is not clear about the answer to this question, and that’s justified. Once a candidate starts with the MBA, he/she may not have enough time to change the decision. Like me there would be many other applicants, so I thought if my findings and your feedback could help us all :)

Here I'm not going to answer why MBA is required. The reason would be different from person to person. I have listed a few questions for self-evaluation and I can promise, that by end of this note you would have an answer to convince the AdCom .My apologies, but in this post I would be taking example of "Management Consultancy in IT" (one of the hottest job profile today) to justify my points.

So get a pen and paper and start answering all the questions one by one. For some of the questions you may need decent amount of time and research.

Step 1:
Apart from the huge salary packages :evil: , what is the main reason for you. It could typically be:
1. Switching career to some other Industry or function
2. Starting ones own business
3. Progressing to a higher responsibility in the same industry or function

Step 2:
Now once you have answered the above question, take some time and evaluate
1. Which Industry, role and country you are aiming for.
I take an example of "Management Consultant in the field of IT in India".

2. What are your target companies.
Be clear about this. AdCom may want to understand what kind of companies you are targeting. It should not be list of 100 best IT companies listed on NSE, rather a genuine answer would be a target for 3-4 companies. Also, be realistic and don't try to list top companies like Mckinsey or Booz unless you can justify that.

3. What the new role means.
If I'm saying Management Consultancy in IT field, I should be clear about what this role means and what would be the kind of responsibilities. A typical IT management consultant would be doing:

    * Selling (identifying prospective clients etc)
    * Research (Gathering requirements, interviewing clients, evaluating existing solutions etc)
    * Analysis (Gathering data and information)
    * Reporting (preparing proposals, recommendation to client etc)
    * Implementation (project management, documenting team work, IT implementation etc)
    * Administration (Expense report, time tracking)

Step 3:
Now one need to evaluate himself to answer the big question of why the above role and industry
1. Where do you stand today.
I'm already working as an IT consultant for last XX years and have successfully implemented XX projects at various client locations. I have worked close with client and have displayed some of the qualities required by a IT consultant.

2. What kind of role you are looking for in the future.
I'm looking for a role of Management Consultancy, continuing in the same IT field but with a higher responsibility (Can use some crap from 3rd question in Step 2 :P )

3. What skills you already posses and what new skills are required.
A typical way to answer this question would to list all the skills generally required for Management Consultancy and rank myself:
Technical knowledge - strong
Analytical skills - strong
Client skills - basic
Leadership skills - basic
Business skills - Nil
Management skills - Nil
Communication skills - good
Relationship skills - basic

4. The skills, which hindered your performance in the past, MBA can add.
In my past role, there have been various responsibilities I couldn't take because of lack of a particular skill or knowledge of some tools. A simple way to answer this question would be to compare ones skill-set with the skill-set of a role (may be a senior manager) where he see himself after MBA. Example - I lack knowledge in Pricing concepts, Financial analysis, Business strategy, Project Management, Negotiation skills etc etc etc.

5. What have you done so far to prove that you are moving towards your career goal.
I have moved from IT Product based company to IT services based company due to this reason. A list of trainings or programs I attended to add a skillset like client negotiation, Project Management etc. I have chosen to work for a client-site role. The list goes on.

Step 4:
An MBA can just lay a foundation for your career goals, but certainly cannot assure to achieve that goal. In most of the cases, one can still achieve his/her goals even without MBA. Don't forget only 38% of the CEOs in US have an MBA degree. So the most important question
1. If not MBA then what?
Surely, MBA is not the end of life. If not MBA, then also I would like to achieve my career goal of IT management consultancy. The way would surely be unorganized and time consuming. A typical example would be attending trainings, gaining experience from current role, reading articles and business publications, and choosing a mentor with the role I'm targeting.

Having said that, I would say MBA is just a means to achieve my goals, a bundled package which would provide me with the skill-set required to accelerate towards the career goal.

Step 5:
To justify ones long-term goals, he need to understand what a typical career path would be starting from the responsibility he is looking immediately after MBA.
1. What is the career progression from the immediate goals?
If I start as a Management Consultant in IT, a typical career progression would be:
Associate consultant > Senior consultant > Team lead > Manager > Senior Manager > Associate Partner > Senior Partner > Vice-president > President >
and so on

Step 6:
Last, but not the least. If one has chosen a career goal, he should be aware of the future trends and opportunities in the particular field. After all, there may not be a sense to choose a career which doesn't have much of future demands.
1. What are the future prospects of the career goal chosen?
For a management consultant in IT, some facts and figures regarding the future demands. For Example, in India IT services industry net revenue for 2008-09 is $58 billion, supposed to be doubled by 2012 and estimated to be $225 billion by 2020. Brief of few prominent projects and government initiatives would also be helpful.

By end of Step 4, one would already have a good reason for why MBA. Step 5 and 6 would strengthen the reason and help in getting a more convincing answer if one has chosen a right path for him/her.

What is Aerospace MBA

2010-01-15T20:39:00.001-08:00

The Aerospace MBA is a post-experience degree, seen as a career accelerator or the means to make a career shift after a minimum of 3 years professional experience.

aerospace mbaThe MBA is a generalist degree in business administration, with a broadening management programme linked to the Aerospace sector and environment, and a minimum of 12 months of full-time study. This programme aims to broaden knowledge, enhance managerial skills, emphasise the international management aspects, and develop a flexible and creative learning process.

The Aerospace MBA programme is market driven, with many aerospace companies directly involved in both education and training, and has a curriculum that is evolutionary and continuously adapted to practical business as well as to academic concerns. The programme focuses on processes with a strong strategic orientation, and deliberately adopts inter- and trans-disciplinary views to prepare participants for the challenges of the complex business world of tomorrow, specifically the Aerospace environment.

Participants are provided with broad coverage of the main fundamental strategic and functional areas in management: Strategic and Core Business, Finance and Accounting, Information Systems and Operations Management, Human Resources Management, and Marketing and Sales. There then follows a complete process approach, covering the key management topics that cut across different functions in the aerospace sector, including Managing Alliances and Partnerships, Managing Corporate Change, Knowledge Management, Supply Chain Management, and Business Process Design. The combination of function and process then corresponds to the typical organisational structure common in the Aerospace sector.

In the second half of the programme, participants are required to carry out an in-company project that aims at putting into practice the knowledge acquired during the first seven months of academic and professional courses. Alternatively, they must carry out research work to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in aerospace management. In order to have a global view of aerospace subsectors, elective courses are offered in Air Transport Management, Defence procurement, Managing Space Industry and Telecommunications, Managing Aerospace subcontractors, and Managing maintenance for Aerospace.

Professional participants come from diverse areas of the aerospace industry (aeronautics, space, airlines, defence) and government ministries. In their various companies and establishments, they occupy different management positions, ranging from Human Resources, Training, Engineering and Operations management, to Research and Development. Some are from non-aerospace industry and wish to integrate after graduation. All appreciate the cultural mix and high standards of the lectures, seminars and conferences, considering the Aerospace MBA a must for any manager who wants to actively play the role of ‘strategy accelerator’ for today’s aerospace companies.

These views are unanimously shared by the participants, and often show the pleasure they derive from sharing their experiences with such a multicultural and multidisciplinary group. The MBA creates a forum for both participants and professionals to develop international networks for their companies.

Career In MBA

CAREERS IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT

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.

While times of transition often look chaotic, new patterns will emerge that establish the new order. Men and women entering business careers in the coming decade will be a part of creating the new patterns in the new order.

One of the most exciting features of the current transition is the globalization of business. Creation and exchange of goods and services involves an increasing portion of the world's population. Every year, the scope of participation is greater. More countries, more cultures, more people are involved in interactive economic trade. Labor, goods, and services are exchanged more broadly, and only a relatively small portion of the world's population is left out of the global economy - a portion that continues to shrink. This globalization has made fundamental changes in business outlook and practices.

Equally dramatic changes are taking place in technology. Manufacturing, communications, and transportation technologies are all producing innovation on a scale and at a rate unimaginable only a few years ago. This means the old mind sets about how things are done, and with whom transaction are made, are obsolete. Men and women entering business management careers in the next decade will literally be changing lives throughout the world through techniques and transactions not yet imagined.

All of these changes make this a particularly propitious time to be acquiring a business education. With so much change taking place, persons acquiring a business management education now can learn the techniques on the leading edge of change. They can prepare themselves to participate in the new patterns of business. They will enter business careers as new patterns are emerging, and they will participate in building the operational practices twenty-first century businesses.

With this amazing opportunity available to them, it is especially important that persons planning business careers get an education that is reliable, current, and relevant. They need to be certain that they experience educational programs capable of preparing them for the excitement ahead. Those programs must be in touch with the latest techniques and practices. They must combine the theoretical understanding of global economic developments with a practical understanding of how things get done. A student who invests his or her time, effort, and opportunity in an educational experience must be sure that the return on that investment will be great. The best educational experience will not just inform students, it will transform them. At the end of the educational experience they will see the world in ways they had not seen it before, and they will behave differently than they behaved before.

In this situation of opportunity, the good new and the bad news comes from the same phenomenon. There are more educational opportunities for students wishing to enter into business management careers than ever before. The bad news is that the demand for business education is so great that it has encouraged institutions of dubious merit to enter the market.

Not all management education programs are the same. Some do not have the resources to assure that their education is current and relevant. A shortage of qualified faculty and the expense of maintaining current technology push costs up for institutions offering business education.

Some do not have the will to use their resources to make the education they offer current and relevant. With high demand in the market, some institutions can operate at lower costs and higher profit margins by skimping on needed personnel and technology. Students need information as they make choices among education providers.

AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business - has been evaluating and accrediting educational quality of business education since 1916. It provides a rigorous peer review process for determining those schools that offer quality business management education. Worldwide, 424 schools have achieved AACSB International accreditation, which assures not only that they have achieved quality but that they have mechanisms in place for continuous improvement of their educational offerings. In making its accreditation evaluations, AACSB looks at the educational outcomes, processes that produce those outcomes, and the processes that manage schools' resources toward achievement.

The ultimate criteria for decision-making within the AACSB accreditation process is a judgment of overall high quality. Through the professional judgment of the business school administrators and corporate executives who comprise the peer review teams, an overall quality judgment results from the careful and detailed evaluation of this school on AACSB's accreditation standards. Students entering an AACSB-accredited business management program can be assured that accreditation is earned only after a careful and searching review process.
The coming decade will see a great need for emerging leaders in business. These must be people with vision and with values. They will be needed in every industry and at every level of business activity. The excitement of the current business transitions will evolve into economic activity and participation of a scope the world has never seen. Today's students will be its creators and leaders.

What Is GMAT ?

2010-01-15T20:36:00.001-08:00

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a computer-adaptive test that measures basic verbal, mathematical, and analytical writing skills that are developed over a long period of time. The GMAT is designed to help graduate schools assess the qualifications of applicants for advanced study in business and management. Many graduate management programs throughout the world require the GMAT scores.

Does the GMAT test business knowledge?
The GMAT does not presuppose any specific knowledge of business or other specific content areas, nor does it measure achievement in any particular subject areas. The GMAT is entirely in English and all instructions are provided in English.

How do schools use GMAT scores?
Your GMAT scores are only one predictor of academic performance in the first year of graduate management school. Most schools look at GMAT scores, undergraduate performance, work experience, recommendations and your application to evaluate your fit with their program. To find out how your GMAT scores will be factored into the application review process, you should contact the admissions office at the school(s) to which you are applying.

What is a Computer-Adaptive Test?
In a computer-adaptive test (CAT), questions are selected while each individual takes the test. As you answer each question, the computer scores that question and use that information to determine which question to present next. Your next question will be the one that best reflects both your previous performance and the requirements of the test design. This means that different test takers will be given different questions.

What is the format of the GMAT?
The GMAT includes verbal, quantitative, and analytical writing sections. The verbal and quantitative sections are multiple-choice and computer-adaptive. For the analytical writing section of the test you will be presented with two essay topics and will write your responses using the computer keyboard.

What is the Analytical Writing Assessment?
The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) portion of the GMAT consists of two 30-minute writing tasks - Analysis of an Issue and Analysis of an Argument. The scoring of your essays will be based on the overall quality of your ideas about the issue and argument presented: your overall ability to organize, develop, and express those ideas; the relevant supporting reasons and examples you used; and your ability to control the elements of standard written English.

What is tested in the verbal section of the GMAT?
The verbal section of the test measures your ability to read and comprehend written material, to reason and evaluate arguments, and to correct written material to conform to standard written English. Three types of multiple-choice questions are used in the verbal section of the GMAT-Reading Comprehension, Critical, Reasoning, and Sentence Correction. Reading comprehension questions measure your ability to understand, analyze, and apply information and concepts presented in written form. Critical Reasoning questions are designed to test the reasoning skills involved in (I) making arguments, (2) evaluating arguments, and (3) formulating or evaluating a plan of action. Sentence Correction questions ask you which of the five choices best expresses an idea or relationship. The questions will require you to be familiar with the stylistic conventions and grammatical rules of standard written English and to demonstrate your ability to improve incorrect or ineffective expressions

What Should I expect in the quantitative section of the gmat?
The quantitative section of the test measures basic mathematical skills, understanding of elementary concepts, the ability to reason quantitatively, solve quantitative problems and interpret graphic data. Two types of multiple-choice questions are used in the quantitative section-Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency. Both types of questions are intermingled throughout the section and require knowledge of arithmetic, elementary algebra, and commonly know concepts of geometry.

Problem solving questions are designed to test basic mathematical skills, understanding of elementary mathematical concepts, and the ability to reason quantitatively and to solve quantitative problems.

Each Data Sufficiency question consists of a question and two statements labeled (I) and (2) that contain additional information. You must decide whether the data given in the statements are sufficient for answering the question. Data Sufficiency questions are designed to measure your ability to analyze a quantitative problem, to recognize which information is relevant, and to determine at what point there is sufficient information to solve the problem.

How much time will I have to take the test?
You will have 4 hours in total to take the test, including two optional breaks. You will have one hour for the Analytical Writing Assessment and 75 minutes for the Quantitative Section and another 75 minutes for the Verbal section. You will be able to take tow 5-minute breaks during the test.

Can I skip questions on the GMAT?
Because the computer scores each question before selecting the next one, you must answer each question when it is presented. Once you answer a question and move on to another, you cannot go back and change your answer. The computer has already incorporated both your answer and the requirements of the test design into its selection of your next question.

How should I prepare for the GMAT?
The organization that creates the GMAT, the Graduate Management Admission Council, and the Educational Testing Service believe that it is important for all GMAT test takers to be familiar with the format of the test and the kinds of questions. So GMAC now offers, free of charge, test preparation software for the GMAT called PowerPrep. PowerPrep is interactive software that features two computer-adaptive tests that are timed and presented just like the actual GMAT. It includes hundreds of practice questions, answers, and explanations, as well as a comprehensive math review, and real-time scoring. Both the tutorials and the complete POWERPREP software can be downloaded for free from MBA.com. A free CD-ROM version of POWERPREP is also offered to everyone who makes an appointment to take the GMAT.

Can I repeat the GMAT?
Sometimes a management school may request that you repeat the GMAT. This may happen if the school would like to see more recent evidence of your performance. You may not take the GMAT more than one time in any calendar month, even if you have taken the test and canceled your scores.

Should I repeat the GMAT to improve my scores?
If your scores seem unusually low compared with other indicators of your preparation for graduate management study, or unless there are other reasons to believe that you did not do your best on the test, taking the GMAT again may not be helpful. It is unlikely to result in a substantial increase in your scores, and, in fact, your scores may decrease.

How do I Send my Scores to Schools?
Before you begin the test, you will have an opportunity to select up to five graduate institutions or programs to receive copies of your score report. Once you have confirmed your selections you will not be able to make changes, deletions, or additions.

How is the GMAT scored?
The GMAT yields four scores: verbal, quantitative, total, and analytical writing. Each of these scores is reported on a fixed scale. Total scores range born 200 to 800, with about two-thirds falling between 400 and 600. Verbal and quantitative scores range from 0 to 60, although scores below 10 and above 50 are rare. The verbal and quantitative scores measure different things are and are not comparable to each other. Analytical writing scores, which range from 0 to 6, are computed separately from the scores for the multiple-choice sections of the test and have no effect on the verbal, quantitative, or total scores.

Why MBA Uk

2010-01-15T20:34:00.001-08:00

The benefits of an MBA are almost as varied as the programmes available and the students studying them. With some 100,000 graduating per year with an MBA from one of approximately 1,000 US or 550 European schools, this represents variety indeed. It is therefore not surprising that all these benefits are not fully appreciated, or that outdated ideas of benefits persist.

Traditionally, having an MBA meant that you were one of an exclusive group of highly selected students who had survived a rigorous academic programme, with a strong emphasis on quantitative and analytical skills. While you might have little or no organisational experience, you were confident in your ability to solve problems, and expected a correspondingly high salary on appointment.

MBA coursesIt is clear from the numbers above that an MBA is no longer a mark of exclusivity. But paradoxically the massive expansion in MBA provision has, in many ways, made the qualification more attractive to employers. This is because of a shift in emphasis in MBA content, and a major change in those studying for the qualification. Both changes were pioneered primarily in the UK, where the typical student is now in their late twenties or thirties, has considerable management experience, and is more likely to be studying while working (via part-time, executive or distance learning programmes) rather than incurring the opportunity costs of full-time study. In fact, many managers are now studying UK MBA programmes from around the globe, without detriment to the quality of their student experience or the value of the qualification.

Employers no longer see MBA as standing for arrogance, ignorance of the real world and high salary demands (twenty years ago, this was a common view in Europe outside of the traditional blue-chip employers of MBAs). Instead, they see the qualification, allied to relevant experience and proven organisational achievements, as indicating flexibility, the ability to welcome rather than resist change, creativity, self-motivation, personal effectiveness, and a range of other qualities needed in the fluid organisational environments to which they are currently recruiting.

This means that one major benefit for the MBA graduate is that if they are applying for a new job, their attractiveness in terms of existing strengths and experience will be considerably enhanced by the possession of the qualification. Note, though, that this basis will normally be important. An MBA without other attributes will today have a restricted appeal; only the 'top' schools tend to have consultancies and employers queueing up to employ their graduates, and even then relevant work experience will normally be expected.

So much for one of the historic benefits. The other benefits of traditional MBAs have perhaps been less affected by time. The confidence of knowing that you are as familiar with concepts as those trying to 'blind you with jargon' is as valid as ever, as is the ability to be constructively critical of consultants or others purveying 'solutions' to management problems. It is still important to be able to use management tools and techniques - from a basic spreadsheet to a sophisticated knowledge management tool - to communicate clearly, whether in writing or when making presentations, and to analyse a problem thoroughly before suggesting a solution. Understanding the basic functions in an organisation and the main features in the environment that impact upon it is still vital for effective strategic management. Exposure to the latest thinking in management will always be an asset.

But added to these, an MBA today is likely to give you a range of 'softer' skills and understanding. You are likely to develop your teamworking skills, to gain an understanding of why people in organisations behave as they do, and to become more aware of the problems stress can cause. You will be far better able to understand and respond effectively to the uncertainty and complexity that is a feature of organisational life in times of rapid change. You may well have developed your own creativity. Above all, you will be able to stand back from situations and 'make sense of them' in a range of different ways, reflecting different perspectives. What is more, you will learn from these 'conceptual experiments' reflecting your capacity to respond to future situations.

Those studying part-time are often surprised at the speed with which these benefits become apparent. Almost from the start of a programme, testing conceptual frameworks taught in the course against a student's own experience changes the way they see situations, thereby markedly increasing their effectiveness as managers. This unanticipated benefit of the study process is so powerful, and the promotions that follow so rapid, that possession of the letters 'MBA' may become almost irrelevant.

Other unanticipated benefits are improved time management skills (indeed, it would be hard to survive an MBA programme without these), a network of contacts that will outlast their management career, and increased motivation at work as things start to make sense. Above all, the learning and reflective habits developed will ensure that even long after graduating, those with MBAs will be outperforming those without.An MBA may no longer be an exclusive qualification for those heading for the most senior ranks of management, or a guarantee of an immediate doubling of salary. But an appropriate MBA still offers managers career and personal benefits that are likely to far outweigh any financial and personal costs.

To gain these benefits, you will need to choose your course carefully. It will need to be suited to your particular needs, and offered by a respected institution. Be warned - gaining a reputable MBA will be hard work. Beware too that it may also become addictive, and may change your life and your career in ways that you cannot envisage at the outset!

MBA New York

2010-01-15T20:32:00.001-08:00

"The Big Apple", "The City that never Sleeps", "The Naked City"… New York City has earned many nicknames, but none more deserving the "The Worlds business Capital". Which is why more and more students from countries around the world are coming to New York City to earn the MBA degree today’s employers value most: One that prepares well-rounded business managers for a global marketplace.
Study an American MBA in London
Webster Graduate School London

The world’s economies are increasingly interdependent, so the ability to reconcile divergent interests is a highly valued business management skill. More and more business schools, such as Dowling College, actively recruit international students to ensure their classrooms more closely reflect today’s business environment. New York City’s richly diverse communities, schools and workplaces offer students nearly constant interaction with people of other nationalities and cultures - and ample opportunities to gain an understanding of, and respect for, foreign customs, perspectives and languages.

Employers today are also demanding more "well-rounded" business school graduates … those who have balanced their training in marketing, management and finance, with studies of music, drama, art and the social sciences. This emphasis on a more broad-based curriculum has practical, as well as less tangible benefits. An appreciation for art and culture often helps those of different nationalities transcend their differences. And the arts also serve graduates as a source of lifelong personal pleasure. Nowhere else in the United States is the arts society so well represented and so easily accessible as in New York City.

Above all, New York City offers an unparalleled opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the world’s most vibrant commercial market. New York City, with over 75,000 companies - most multinational in scope - is home to virtually every enterprise known to man.

Nowhere else in the United States can business training be applied, tested and acquired more easily and effectively than here in New York City. The world’s biggest companies, its greatest concentration of "intellectual capital", and its most prominent business institutions are right here in New York City. Business schools take full advantage of the City’s resources by creating corporate partnerships, executive-in-residence and mentoring programs, and valuable internship opportunities.

The City’s diverse community, the opportunity to acquire a broad, highly skilled business education and exposure to the world’s most important marketplace, makes New York City the ideal destination for students of international business - now more than ever.

MBA California

2010-01-15T20:31:00.000-08:00

Historically, the State of California assumed the title 'The Golden State' because of the great gold rush of the 1840s and '50s that eventually led to the mass migration westward to the Pacific coast. However, since that time the term has come to mean so much more, as California now symbolizes great opportunity in many ways - not least of which is its system of higher education and what it offers to potential students.
Study an American MBA in London
Webster Graduate School London

California's higher education system is comprised of nine University of California campuses, with a tenth opening up in California's central valley in the year 2005 - making 22 California State University campuses, 106 community colleges, and many high quality independent and private colleges and universities. The University of California, the California State University, and numerous accredited independent institutions award MBAs, averaging over 6,000 degrees annually.

The University of California campuses offer a wide range of programs leading to baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral degrees. Five of the nine UC campuses offer an MBA program: Irvine, Los Angeles, Berkeley, Davis, and Riverside, and approximately 3,500 students were enrolled in these programs in the fall of 1998. MBA students at a University of California campus will find access to some of the world's highest quality faculty, facilities, new technology, and libraries.

The California State University system offers both baccalaureate and masters degrees. Of its 22 campuses, 20 offer MBA programs for their students, located in nearly every major metropolitan area of California to facilitate access for as many students as possible. Nearly 5,400 students were enrolled in MBA programs at CSU campuses throughout the State in the fall of 1998. Most of the masters degree programs within the CSU system are ideal for the working student, with many classes offered at various times of the day, including evenings. Those students who wish to pursue the practical application of business, while obtaining a degree, can choose to enroll full or part-time, making a CSU program the ideal choice for working professionals.

Many of California's independent institutions also offer MBA programs. In fact, in 1997-98, independent institutions in California awarded over 3,000 MBA degrees to students, approximately the same number as the two public university systems combined. These universities and their schools of business vary greatly in size and scope - some are large and well-known, such as the University of Southern California (USC), while others enroll fewer students but are no less well respected, such as Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles. California's independent institutions vary greatly, not only in terms of size and scope of programs offered, but also in admissions requirements and cost to students. Many also offer programs for the working student, by offering evening and weekend courses, courses through technology, and holding classes at various locations.

Because of the large number of MBA programs available to the prospective MBA student in California, the decision as to which program to apply for may be difficult. While cost, location and course offerings are important, the overall quality of the program will undoubtedly play a role in that decision. It is important for prospective MBA students to understand that both the US government and the states use accreditation by non-governmental associations and agencies to indicate education quality offered by American schools and colleges. In order for students to receive federal student assistance, colleges and universities must be accredited by an agency recognized by the United States Secretary of Education - for California institutions, the regional accrediting body is the Western Association of Schools and Colleges; for business, the recognized accrediting body is the American Assembly of Schools of Business. Prospective students seeking admission to an MBA program should know the accreditation status of their school of choice.

California is an ideal place for an MBA student to live, work and learn. To the MBA student it offers unparalleled opportunities to put to practical use what they have learned in the classroom. The state is home to 33 million people, a diverse population with literally hundreds of languages spoken and cultures represented, and a microcosm of the world at large. It has been said that if California were a nation itself, it would be the seventh largest economy in the world - as it is, it provides almost 13% of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, generating more goods and services than all of the other western states combined. Uniquely situated as the US's gateway to the Pacific Rim, a full 20% of all US import and export trade is handled through Californian ports. California is the nation's leading agricultural state, exporting produce all over the world and producing much of the nation's supply of fruits and vegetables.

However, most of the important industries are technology-based; California is home to the Silicon Valley, the bastion of information where numerous hi-tech companies conduct business and create the next wave of technology. Companies such as 3COM, Intel and Sony all employ not only numerous high-tech employees, but also those trained with the management skills to ensure their success and place in the market. Companies located in the 'Bay Area', such as San Francisco and Oakland, are leaders in the area of banking and finance, technology, health care and the motion picture industry. Southern California, and the Los Angeles region in particular, is known worldwide for its innovation in the area of motion pictures and entertainment. San Diego county still boasts important contributions to the aerospace industry. In addition, a full one-third of all US biotechnology firms and over half of the US biotechnology jobs are based in California.

Virtually all of California's MBA programs take advantage of the State's robust economic environment. Business leaders and faculty work together to ensure that MBA students not only get the knowledge and theory they need for a good foundation in business practices, but that they have access to California's full range of opportunities in which to apply that theory to real life situations. Additionally, it is common for business leaders to serve as instructors in courses. Collaboration between schools of business and industry leaders ensures a seamless transition for students between the academic and business worlds.

The combination of good planning and solid commitment by California's political leaders and general public to invest in higher education has made its system of higher education the envy of many worldwide, and the reputation and quality of education offered by California's colleges and universities continues to attract students from around the world. It is an exciting time for California, as the State is in the midst of an economic boom unprecedented throughout history.

MBA Australia

2010-01-15T20:29:00.001-08:00

Apart from the climate and the lifestyle, why would you complete an MBA in Australia? Well, those are two very fine reasons. But in addition, you should consider the location of your MBA, since a good MBA program is not simply about what you study, but also about who you meet and network with for future benefit.

Because Australia is geographically and economically part of Asia, doing business in Australia means understanding business in Asia. Based on its historical links to Europe and North America, Australia has built a cosmopolitan international economy with the majority of its trade now with Asian nations. Most of the international MBA students are from Asia: places such as Singapore, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia and India. Also, there are a growing number of students from North America and Europe. Australia’s MBA students build networks with international students that benefit them in their future career and business dealings.

Australia’s culture and environment is varied, providing a fascinating and enriching learning experience with its unique landscape, climate and exotic flora and fauna. While Australia owes much to it’s European heritage, it’s political and social development has been distinctive, and Australians have become very conscious of their geographical position on the southern edge of the Asian landmass, and their role in the development of the Pacific Rim economies. They also pride themselves on being a rapidly developing multicultural society, drawing strength from the richness and variety of cultures.

Most major universities in Australia offer MBA programs, varying in length from 18 months to five years, depending on whether students are full or part-time. MBA programs have traditionally been made up of a mix of both full and part-time students, domestic and international. The program structures vary, as do the particular subject emphasis with each MBA program. However, all welcome international students.

Australia offers considerable advantages for international exchange and study abroad students, as its universities are held in high repute internationally, and offer an enormous range of subjects in every discipline.

MBA UK

2010-01-15T20:27:00.001-08:00

MBA courses can vastly improve the prospects and quality of your career, enabling you to reach your ultimate professional potential. The MBA is an international qualification that is well-respected by employers around the world.

So, you have taken the big decision; you want to get an MBA. You probably have friends of work colleagues who already have one or who are currently studying. It seems increasingly normal for the MBA to be part of a commitment to Lifelong Learning, representing as it does the need to constantly keep your knowledge, skills and competence up-to-date and able to meet the increasingly high demands of modern employers in terms of personal and managerial development.

Without doubt, the MBA is the most internationally recognised degree in existence, and arguably with new delivery methods and distance learning opportunities, the world is now your oyster when considering where and how to study.

MBA courses in UKThe UK is top of many people’s lists. Statistics reveal that Business and Management Studies is the most popular area of study by far of international students and managers coming to the UK. For many, the prospect of a 1 year full-time MBA course (or more specialised Master’s Degree) set in a modern, vibrant economy, and noted as much for its friendly cosmopolitan welcome as its rich traditions an heritage, is a most appealing prospect.

Don’t be afraid to ask for written testimonials from schools on your shortlist of MBA courses, or from former students from your country who have successfully completed their MBA programme and gone on to new and enhanced careers. The alumni network will be an important facet of your eventual selection.

If for whatever reason you can’t or don’t wish to study in the UK itself, then consider the possibility of Distance Learning MBA courses. There are several very well established UK Business Schools who have proved that they can bring their MBA programmes to students in many countries and regions of the world. Such programmes are truly ‘glocal’ - a new word which means global in scope yet locally delivered. Don’t be afraid to ask about the nature of the learning support that will be provided to you and also the completion rate of the course. Distance Learning can be a bit lonely and the local support and interaction of the group network can make all the difference to your eventual success and satisfaction.

The fact that you are reading this article probably means that you have begun to consider the many options available with MBA courses, but where else can you find the best information to help you make the final choice? Firstly, you can contact the Association of Business Schools (ABS) in the UK (contact details are at the end of the article). ABS produces a comprehensive Directory of all major MBA courses in the UK and includes details about the programmes, including costs, entry requirements and also independent quality ratings of both teaching and research. The ABS Directory should also be available at your local British Council office. Just ask for the ABS Postgraduate Directory 1997/8.

At ABS, we find that when potential students have considered all the factors involved in selecting MBA courses and have produced a shortlist they still find it difficult to make the final decision. After all, an MBA is a major investment with or without employer support. ABS receives a large number of calls, faxes and emails seeking help to make the final choice. Because ABS represents 100 business schools, we are not able to say that school A is better than school B. However, we can answer factual questions in an independent way, and students regularly confirm that we are helpful to them in making their own final decision.

MBA Parameters

2010-01-15T09:30:00.000-08:00

There are a number of parameters that are taken into consideration for B-School Comparisons. Every year thousands of MBA aspirants seek out the best B-schools based on various factors such as ranking of the institution, course curriculum, cost of education, and campus culture among others. B-School Comparisons can be made based on institutions located in different countries. For example, management schools in the United States will be different from the ones in India or some other countries. Furthermore the comparisons in placement procedures as well as admission process for international students are also major determinants in selecting a B-School.

Quality of Education

MBA programs are offered at a number of B-Schools across the world. Each of these schools has their individual approach to imparting education. Based on the quality of education as well as the method of instruction, B-Schools maybe compared. For instance, a lot of stress is laid on practical sessions in a number of management schools in the US and other countries in the west. The education quality of B-Schools is also compared on the basis of how rigorous the entrance test is for a particular institution.

Cost of Education

Cost is a major factor when it comes to making B-School comparisons. In the US, the cost of education in B-Schools differs on the basis of whether it is a private or a public school. In a reputed private B-School in the US, annual tuition fees may range from $15, 000 to $30,000 whereas in a state run B-School the tuition fee can be anything from $10,000 to $ 20,000 per annum. On the other hand in a reputed B-School in India the tuition fees may range from Rs. 2.2 lacs to 5 lacs per annum. Cost of Education is an important determinant for B-School Comparisons.

Placement Opportunity

: Most of the top B-Schools worldwide have active placement cells that invite top companies for campus interviews. In India the IIMs as well as leading B-Schools like XLRI, IIFT, Symbiosis Institute of Business Management and others have excellent placement cells where students get placed in some of the best Multinational companies of the world. The B-School in other Asian countries like Hong Kong and Singapore also has very good placement opportunities. Management schools in countries such as US, France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland have good placement cells.

Admission Procedures:

Procedures for admissions vary from B-Schools in Asians countries to those in the US and various European nations. In India, Common Admission Test (CAT) Scores are used for selection of candidates in some of the top B-Schools. In countries like Hong Kong and the United States GMAT scores are considered for the admission process. Some B-Schools use the online admission procedure while in others; students have to collect prospectus and application from the institution office.

Culture in Campus:

There are vast differences between B-Schools based on the culture in the campus. This includes how students interact among each other, what are the activities students partake in and the general ambience in the campus. In management schools in the west there is plenty of interaction between students from different countries and cultures. In other campuses sports, music, plays and other co-curricular activities play a major part in the life of the students.

MBA Singapore

2010-01-15T09:21:00.000-08:00

Getting into a good MBA college in India [ Images ] or abroad is of prime concern for any student or a professional seeking MBA studies.
Almost 2,70,000 students took the Common Admission Test, or CAT, this year, aiming to study at one of the prestigious Indian Institutes of Management (IIM). But with only 1,800 seats and official results not due until January 9, candidates can't celebrate just yet.
Considering the ratio of MBA aspirants in India vis-à-vis the top B-school seats it makes good sense for those who do not get through the top B-schools in India, to look at options outside the country rather than end up in a tier-2 institute in India. This would provide them higher returns on their investment besides off course a global learning atmosphere and work opportunities abroad.
John Gabriel, chief marketing officer for test prep company IMS Learning Resources Pvt. Ltd, describes two types of MBA colleges in India, one that create leaders and the other that acts more like finishing schools. For students who can't crack the first type, Gabriel often steers them to institutes outside the country.

Study US: Co-ops and internships

Since most B-schools abroad require work experience from applicants, Singapore, in particular, is an appealing choice for Indian candidates. Most are one-year programmes and students are admitted on academic record, rather than entrance tests, so these are more accessible options for fresh graduates.
Studying in Singapore is an exciting option to study and pursue a career and has an ideal environment for Indian Students. Some of the advantages of studying in Singapore are:
1. Quality of Educational Institutes
Singapore has some of the best educational institutions in the Asia-Pacific Region. The Singapore education system promises a global experience that draws from the latest and the best in knowledge from around the world.
2. Affordable education
Singapore is one of the most economically viable alternatives if you wish to pursue your international education. The total expense of the fee and living costs in most educational institutes compare favourably with institutes offering MBA in India and range between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 15 lakh only.
3. International batch-mates
In Singapore you will have students from more than 30+ countries as your batch mates. This enables you to take advantage of the rich inter-cultural environment and excellent global networking opportunities.
4. Work Permits for students
Students have permission to work for 16hours a week while pursuing studies, to support themselves economically.
5. Job Opportunities
Singapore is the Asia-Pac regional headquarters for most global organisations and is therefore a hub of major economic activity. There are 26,000 international companies in Singapore where students can look forward to excellent professional networking as well as job opportunities in one of the best business environments in Asia.
6. Safety
Singapore is the safest city for students. The government of Singapore has a non-tolerance policy towards drug abuse and ragging in campus.

International MBA: Making the decision

You can also apply for a PR status in 2years and settle down in Singapore. Besides, the experience gained in Singapore is at the Asia Pac level and is always welcome back in India in the case of student wanting to return.
Also, since Singapore is culturally closer to India, it is a better choice for students who have never been outside the country. "If India's top business schools total around 5,000 seats," Gabriel says, "for the 5,001st guy, it's unfortunate, so we talk to them about the world.
The process of applying to an institute abroad requires the students to choose the right universities and institutes which suit their profile, be it academic or professional, request for application forms, prepare for group discussions, gear up for personal interviews, keep a track of dates and send completed forms with required documents. This whole process is not only exhaustive but also very crucial to procuring the right MBA in the right institute.

What is The Executive MBA,

2010-01-15T09:02:00.000-08:00

The Executive MBA, commonly referred to as the EMBA, is designed specifically to enhance the careers of both working business professionals, managers and executives. The EMBA is usually geared towards professionals who are looking to update the general management skills and prepare themselves for career advancement opportunities.

What really sets the executive MBA apart from many other MBA programs is the level of experience and insights that students bring to the program. In most EMBA programs students' professional experience and expertise becomes an integral part of the curriculum. The EMBA is typically completed during the evenings or on weekends over a two year period. The EMBA truly offers a level of education not obtained in any other setting.

MBA Accounts

2010-01-15T08:55:00.000-08:00

Finance and Accounting Careers

Accounting or financial managers are the people responsible for overseeing and maintaining the financial strategy and history of a company. The accounting manager is focused more on financial reporting, while the financial manager is focused on strategy and money management. Finance has been one of the more popular choices for MBA focus or concentration.

A finance MBA can offer numerous possibilities and can be an effective tool to help with promotions in the professions discussed below. Most prospective jobs for finance MBAs fall within investment banks, corporations, and securities firms. Many finance MBA graduates also follow careers in the consulting industry .

Financial Managers or Financial Analysts

Financial analysts and managers use historical (accounting) data in their decision making, however the number one role of the financial manager is to oversee the production of financial analysis and reports to help the company with decision making, business development, strategic planning, and alliance management. Through the use of these reports, the financial analyst helps to shape the company�s investment and business growth. Cash management strategies developed and implemented by the financial analyst help the company to grow efficiently and allow for maximum profitability in its investments.

Financial analysts and mangers play an important part in mergers and global financing and expansion. Highly specialized knowledge in these areas is an important asset to the financial manager and his or her employer to maximize potential profit and reduce risk. Many companies utilize globally active consulting firms exclusively for these purposes.

Accounting Managers

Accounting managers working in a corporate setting perform responsibilities relating to tax reporting and management, and creating income statements inside of controller and audit groups. This career path may bring one to the positions of corporate treasurer, corporate controller, or CFO (chief finance officer). Professional accountants working for a public accounting company will perform functions similar to those performed by independent audit or tax consultants. An educational history or background based in accounting, either as a Masters degree or as a finance MBA, will give you some of the coursework you need to have in order to take the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) exam.

Corporate Controllers

A controller is someone who is in charge of preparing a company�s financial reports to forecast and sum-up the company�s financial situation. The statements a controller would get together consist of balance sheets, income statements, earnings analyses, and expense analyses. Regulatory agencies may also require special reports from companies. Controllers prepare these reports. In addition, a controller will frequently be over the budget, auditing, and accounting departments of a company.

Chief Financial Officers

The top financial executive of an organization is the CFO. The CFO supervises all accounting and financial operations, as well as administering the company�s general financial policies and strategies. While the CFO in a small company will often be responsible for all of the financial management duties, a CFO in a large company may delegate some or all of the responsibilities to other managers or vice presidents within the company.

Treasurers and Finance Officers

Finance officers other than the CFO and treasurers oversee and guide a company�s financial objectives and budgets. The financial officer may formulate and implement strategies to raise capital, oversee cash management, or manage the company�s capital investment activity. Financial officers also play a significant role in a company�s merger and/or acquisition activities. The treasurer, while he or she may share some of the financial officer�s duties, will usually have some banking experience.

Cash Managers

The Cash Manager is responsible for overseeing and controlling cash flow, both accounts receivable and accounts payable. He or she is also responsible for ensuring that the cash position of the company is sufficient to meet current and forecasted needs, or whether adjustments in investment quantity and type are necessary.
Risk and Insurance Managers

Business operation and transactions involve a certain amount of risk. Risk managers and insurance managers work to minimize the amount of loss a company incurs and the amount of risk it is exposed to.

Management Consultants

Management consultants work to help companies with a wide variety of problems and issues. Everything from profitability improvement to corporate restructuring to financial strategy. The MBA going into this field should have either an expert understanding of a wide base of knowledge, or be highly skilled in two or more sub groups. The management consultant will also help companies with cash management and emerging market analysis.

Investment Bankers

An investment banker will work together with corporations needing capital to grow and institutions or investors who have money available to invest. An MBA is an enormous asset in this field as the investment banker will be giving investment advice to his or her clients regarding raising capital. Most investment banks have a corporate finance division that assists clients in structuring financial instruments such as stocks or bonds to raise capital.

Investment Banking Associates

People graduating with an MBA in finance often begin their career as an associate with an investment bank firm or investment firm. This is usually at least one level above the entry-level position as an analyst typically obtained by persons with only an undergraduate degree. Most analysts end up pursuing an MBA degree after a couple of years in the industry in order to obtain promotions. Many people in the corporate finance side of investment banking will obtain a CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) designation as a supplement to their MBA. The Association for Investment Management Research (AIMR) is the governing body for the CFA exam and designation.

The mergers and acquisitions departments of investment banks provide consulting services to companies in the process of merging or acquiring other companies or organizations. Organizations wishing to acquire, dispose of, or invest in real estate will deal with the real estate division of an investment bank. Equities research and consulting for private clients are also frequently chosen as career paths for MBAs with focus in investment banking.

Investment Sales Associates and Traders

While MBA skills and knowledge are not explicitly required in this field, they do come in as very valuable in enabling a person to understand the economic principles that drive the financial markets. Investment traders and sales associates assist corporate or institutional investors in the purchase and sale of securities such as stocks and bonds. The sales associate makes recommendations and helps with the analysis, while the trader actually executes the orders for the client.

Credit Managers and Specialists

The Credit manager is in charge of managing the credit a company may issue to its clients or others. Credit managers formulate criteria for rating risk and credit, determine the maximum amount of credit to offer, and supervise past-due account collections.

Why MBA-HR is Going to Get Hotter?

2010-01-14T18:11:00.001-08:00

For those of you who have had issues with the management or have at any stage switched jobs, who was the person who played the role of ears and mouth of the company? Again a person from the HR department.

Your experiences might vary from firm to firm but the point that the HR department is an important representative of the company has been made. In fact HR is the sole department taking care of a company's internal marketing. You will be happy or unhappy with your firm depending upon the extent to which the people from this department have understood the HR policies of your firm and employed them for your benefit.

The idea of viewing HR as an independent corporate activity deserving credit is a pretty recent one in India. There are many reasons why HR might have been relegated to the shadows of its more dashing cousins like marketing, finance and operations. A few prominent ones being -

The wretched salaries being offered till very recently to HR professionals. (This is changing.)
Lack of corporate backing to educational institutions, which are churning out HR professionals.
The general perception of students about HR being a "common sense" discipline not worth specializing in.
Lack of apparent "Power" and "Glamour" associated with an HR profile.

MBA Abroad: Is it worth the money?

2010-01-14T18:10:00.000-08:00

Even by the most conservative estimates, pursuing an MBA degree abroad would set you back by at least Rs. 10 lakhs, if you have to shell out the money on your own. This could go up to as much as Rs. 30 lakhs for the top U.S. B-schools. Financial aid is limited, and comes with strings attached. Given the exorbitant expenditure involved, is it really worth it?

The answer depends on a lot of factors, and ultimately, has to come from you. We can help you evaluate the scenario by laying out these factors before you. The factors have to be considered in conjunction with each other, rather than in isolation. Weigh them carefully, and decide to what extent each factor is applicable to you.

1. How much would it pinch you?

MONEY! This, of course, is the bottomline. Start with the assumption that you are not going to get any scholarship, as getting financial aid for an MBA program is really tough. Then look at the resources at your disposal (could be your own bank account, or your parents’, or any benefactor you may have)

If you have sufficient funds (Rs. 10-15 lakhs), our recommendation is: just go ahead. It’ll surely prove to be money well spent – the experience itself is great!
If you can spare some amount (Rs. 5-6 lakhs), you could still consider going, as you’ll be able to manage the first few semesters on your own. Once you’re there, you’ll have to find ways to raise some money (most Indian students manage this, at least the smart ones certainly do!)
If you are constrained on cash, but can manage a bank loan, it still makes sense to go ahead. However, you must be confident that you will do well in the program and manage to get a job. (Jobs are really hard to find in places like Australia and UK).
If you don’t belong to any of the above categories, how about trying for an Indian MBA?

Note: The bottomline is an MBA abroad is worth the money. Even if you spend 15 lakhs doing an MBA from a good school, you will recover the money within a year of passing out. Start thinking like a business manager even before your MBA.

2. What are your alternatives?

Quote : 'The choices you make decide the life you lead'.

A lot depends on what options you have here.

If you’ve been toying with the idea of going abroad for an MBA, what are the other options that you have? Would you rather do it from a top-rung Indian institute, like the IIMs? Well, the answer totally depends on your aspirations.

If you’ve cracked the CAT, go for it. The IIMs are among the best in the world. However, if you have to choose between IIM and a top institute like Harvard or London Business School, it makes sense to choose the latter. The exposure and contacts that you’ll get in a top school are simply unmatchable.An M.B.A. from a top-rung B-school will almost certainly propel you in the global job market, and you’ll soon be on your way to the top of the ladder.
If your choice is between a mid-tier B-school abroad and an average Indian institute, it makes IMMENSE sense to go abroad. The mid-tier schools abroad offer much better career prospects. An MBA from a mid-range U.S. B-school also has fairly healthy prospects, given the buoyant state of the US economy in the last few years.
If you have close relatives abroad, who can help you with funds and/or getting you an employment on completion of your MBA, you are in an enviable position. However, make sure you talk to the relatives before you apply.

However, unless you have the ways and means to find yourself an employment, we would not recommend going to just any U.S. B-school that you can get into.

3. What do you plan to do after the MBA?

This is probably the most important criterion.

The critical question is : DO YOU WISH TO SETTLE THERE?
50% of the people who come to us say “yes” to this. The other 50% say they’ll come back, after staying on for a few years.
Ultimately, very few come back.

If you are sure of taking up a job abroad, rather, managing to get yourself a job, then it makes sense to even take a loan to go abroad for an MBA. In all likelihood, you’ll repay the loan within a year. (Going by the average salaries Indians manage after their MBA).

This is applicable mainly to the US & Canada. Getting a work permit in Australia is very difficult. UK has recently allowed international MBA students to work for two years.
If you’re planning to return to India immediately on completion, you should think twice before going, unless funds are not a consideration for you.
The often-asked question is : how valuable is the international MBA degree in India? The answer depends on which school you do your MBA from: a Harvard degree will command respect anywhere in the world. If you’re from a middle-rung school, you’re as good as an MBA from a mid-rung Indian B-school.

The final word: you can spend all your money, take a loan, get into the best school, do whatever; ultimately what matters is how well you can "market" yourself. That’s what will get you the "big bucks!"

How Will a MBA Degree Help My Career

2010-01-14T18:08:00.000-08:00

Choosing to get an MBA is a big investment of both time and money, so students should make sure that getting this degree is the right decision for them before starting out in a program. For some, getting an MBA is the natural next step in a long, successful career. There are many ways in which an MBA can help prospective students get a leg up in the business world so they can pursue their hopes and dreams no matter what kind of business they want to get into.

                For some, an MBA is a great way to get on the track to a position in their current line of work with a little more responsibility and maybe a few more perks as well. MBA programs help students to build management and leadership skills that will help them work in higher level positions, even as executives and CEOs. While an MBA isn’t a guarantee of getting a position in management, it certainly doesn’t hurt, as many businesses and corporations see it as a definite asset when working to fill these positions.
Getting an MBA can also be a valuable way to change positions in non-business careers as well. Those in fields like nursing, teaching, engineering and performing may find that an MBA can give them the skills in management and business that they need to move into leadership roles and advance in their chosen career fields. MBA programs are designed to equip graduates with a wide variety of business skills, many of which may be of great value in the working world no matter the field in which they will be applied.

                  In general, salaries of MBA grads tend to be higher than those with just an undergraduate degree. Those looking to progress not only in position but in salary as well will likely find that getting an MBA makes that process a little easier. Of course, this doesn’t come without some initial outlay, as many MBA programs can be quite costly to pursue and may not allow students to work full-time while they’re taking classes.
Getting an MBA is no guarantee of future success in business or in any other field. It is an investment in yourself and your career and like many other investments it may or may not pay off. It will be up to you whether or not the time and money you put into getting an MBA will be worth it in the long run

How Do I Begin Applying for an MBA Program?

2010-01-14T18:07:00.000-08:00

If you’ve decided an MBA is the right choice for you and you’ve pinpointed some schools that you think offer what you’re looking for, you’re ready to begin applying to schools. Of course, this is much more involved than it sounds, and can be a multi-month process of testing, filling out forms, getting letters of recommendation and waiting to hear back. It doesn’t have to be a completely stressful process however, if you just take it step by step and stay organized throughout.

         First and foremost, applicants will want to find out the application deadlines for any programs that they are applying to. This will be essential in making sure that all of your materials are received on time and that you’ll meet all the requirements for whichever school you’re applying. Make sure to write down these dates and get your materials in as early as possible to ensure you won’t miss the deadline.
Most MBA programs will require that students take the Graduate Management Admissions Test, otherwise known as the GMAT, which measures verbal, math, and writing skills. You will need to sign up in advance for a testing time, ensuring that you leave yourself enough time to study and enough time for the results of your test to be mailed to you school by the application deadlines. Tests are given throughout the year, and preparation for them is recommended, as some schools place a lot of importance on student performance on the exam. If you feel ill-equipped to prepare yourself for the exam, there are a variety of courses offered online and in classrooms around the nation that can help you get ready for the exam.
In addition to the GMAT, students will need to send schools they’re applying with records from their undergraduate study. This can mean transcripts which much be ordered from these schools, writing samples or in some cases letters of recommendation from past professors. It’s essential to get started on requesting these materials as early as possible to avoid any potential hang-ups.

     Nearly all schools will require that students submit some sort of letters of recommendation. This can be from a former teacher, coworkers, or if you’ve been in the working world for a while, an employer or business partner. Make sure to give whomever you ask to write a letter for you ample time to actually write the letter.

         Additionally, depending on the school you’re applying to you may need to submit your work history, a personal essay detailing your goals for study within the MBA program and an interview with the faculty or administrators at the school. Check with the requirements of each program to ensure that you’ve fulfilled everything and won’t have any obstacles in the way of your acceptance.

What is an MBA?

2010-01-14T17:56:00.000-08:00

An MBA is a post graduate degree in business communication. MBA stands for Masters of Business Administration and is a very popular course for business students the world over. The MBA program is recognized worldwide and is considered as a major step towards a successful business management career.

An MBA degree is one of the most sought after degrees in the world because of its value to people in business and administration. Irrespective of the industry or profession that you are in, or regardless of the condition of the economy of your country, an MBA degree can benefit those in positions in business and management, especially those in executive and managerial positions.

Evolution of the MBA Program

Since its inception in the early 1900s and especially in the last two decades, the MBA program has evolved tremendously and has witnessed the following trends:
Programs of shorter duration as a result of the highly competitive mature of the education industry and also in a bid to make the course less expensive, while at the same time not sacrificing on the quality of the course and the value of the MBA degree.
MBA courses had always been full time courses, but in the last few years there has been an introduction of many types of MBA programs based on their structure. So now there are part time MBA courses, modular programs, international programs, distance learning programs, and even online MBA programs.

Eligibility for MBA

While most schools and educational institutions that offer MBA programs have their respective criteria for getting into an MBA course, the two most significant factors that are common to most schools and MBA courses are:

Age and Experience: The average age of students applying for the MBA is about 26-30 years. Most schools require their applicants to have 4-5 years of prior work experience before joining an MBA course. Since experience is usually believed to come with age, those under 25 are generally not accepted for an MBA program as it is assumed that such students do not have the required work experience.
GMAT Score: Having a GMAT score in excess of 600 is essential if you wish to get into the A grade MBA schools. Although just a good GMAT score is not a guarantee for admission to an MBA program, it does better your chances tremendously.
