7 REASONS TO STUDY AN MBA Reasons to Study an MBA Course Building a Career This is not just an MBA, but one from a reputable University, which can greatly enhance career prospects. Advancement An MBA provides a passport to promotion opportunities from junior to senior level management in multinational companies. Critical Thinking An MBA provides the essential tools for advanced critical thinking, creating a platform for successful interaction with colleagues from different backgrounds and areas of experience. This improves an overall strategic, tactical and operational understanding of corporate structures. Self-Actualisation Employer s Preference The current trend is for employers to recruit MBA postgraduates rather than undergraduates. Therefore, an MBA qualification will be a significant advantage on any CV. Increased Earnings Research provides evidence that employees with an MBA qualification command higher salaries. This is true whether in Asia, The Middle East or Europe. Employer s Recognition Employers recognise the fact that an MBA is an advanced business degree of choice and provides the employee with the necessary skills and understanding of commercial operations to contribute to an internationally successful enterprise. An MBA qualification is a means of improving confidence and self-attainment, both commercially and financially. Dynamism An MBA qualification provides the necessary transferable skills to cope with the management of change in a work environment. The MBA course specification includes an emphasis on the development of entrepreneurship, business ethics, innovation and leadership skills. Mobility in the Global Job Market Having an MBA qualification can ensure greater employee mobility and increase opportunities within the global job market. 5
