I always had ths question on the top of my mind “Is there a need to do MBA???” Most people have an impression that MBAs can be managers easily in their careers,,,but i think its not true…when we look into the course details of any MBA..we see that we actually know every thing thats there in it…may it be “Business Ethics” or the “Management Control Systems”..we have the “Organization Behavior” which tells us how to deal with our collegues,subordinates and every one in the organization….but if we just think for our selves dont we know the ethics to be followed or how to manage the work we are doin??? dont we know how to behave with people around??? then why does one have be an MBA for that???
I would say one needs to do an MBA coz, though we know most of the things that are thought in this course..MBA puts it in a more organised way and teaches us how can we practice them or rather implement them in our daily life…we all lknow the difference between the mission and vision statements…dont we?? weill if we know then what is it that we learn in MBA?? I say MBA polishes the way we know thing and gives us the in-depth meaning and effect of the minutest things happening around…with the help of all the case studies and the analysis to be done…one clearly gets to know about the thing which they already know in a more detail way and the various effects of it….when working in an organization we work with various people from all over the world..how does one get along with his collegues if he is not a agood teamplayer?? here is where the Soft Skills comes into picture which is one of the most important part of MBA…most of the MBA programs include the training in teambuilding either as a part of student orientation, in work shops or as a topic in Organization Behavior course.
Being an MBA my self i do feel that there ia a need to do MBA as it helps us to bring out a way of analytical thinking from within us and helps us in being more organised.The various quantitative skills and the simple concepts helps us to get along quite easily what ever we do!!!
