We need to differentiate between an MBA and an Executive MBA.

A PG in management is an introduction course.It exposes the students to concepts

An exec-MBA on the other hand is for people who have the eexperience of working in an entreprenuria or corporate environment and so the study has to incorporate experience gained with updating of knowledge.

Organisations set up what is called a corporate university that helps their employees to update knowledge-and therefore an exec MBA is a very important part of career planning and growth

By studying a person proves that he/she is a life long learner and also because it keeps one sharp and aleert.

Recently we have seen in these recession time, dwindling number of students with jobs after executive MBA even from one of the best collleges like ISB,hyd. The sole reason is that they donot et enough time to be molded into the mindset of manager unless you have 4-5 yrs of work-ex. ISB like college take grads with even 2 yr workex they find it increasigly difficult to asimilate learning in 1 yr. Tis definitely will affect in the carrer for them.

To my knowledge i feel that MBA qualification is one coming from University entrance through the ladder without experience in the business.

But Executive MBA is on with experience right through the years with lot of experiences as the name it self says Master in the Business and that is the last hurdle in the Business game you get to the top.

I feel person with executive MBA is more productive to the Industry than normel person with MBA without experience but he will catch up at later stage.

Shobana ji i definitely agree with you.Executive MBA do give an edge in this competitive environment.To bolster leadership abilities, many Executive MBA Programs are increasing their focus on strategy and leadership and on higher management functions. In addition, they are integrating the curriculum to ensure that students not only understand function areas, such as finance and marketing, but the ways in which the functional areas combine to strengthen an organization’s competitive position.They are designed to meet the educational needs of business leaders from all types of industries.

Business leaders enter the program, complete classes, and graduate with the same group of students, giving participants the unique opportunity to meet and learn from each other. Taught by senior faculty members, the curriculum covers and integrates all functional areas.

So yes E-MBA is definitely a good course to shape one's career.

what do you say?

Corporate demand for MBAs remains strong, and corporate recruiter data show business schools are fulfilling the needs of companies and providing the kinds of future leaders organizations require and Consumers are also smart. If business schools were failing to keep pace with the knowledge, skills, and abilities students consider critical, we wouldn’t see increasing applications.

I agree to the point  one has to have a  degree , will certainly  give  a jump to the top managment, but  leaving a job for one year will have not much impact one's career life, but there is a bit of risk element attachedt  to it, You believe that you will accumulate too much debt because of tuition while an MBA is not required for one's career goals
thank u
