Why a Global MBA?

Although curriculum of most of the renowned MBA programs in the world is same, (unless you go for a dual degree or an off-beat concentration) the kind of learning varies immensely.

While an Indian MBA from one of the elite colleges (IIMs) prepares conceptually stronger managers, global schools provide much broader exposure and produce very practical managers.

The main benefits of a global MBA:

• Broader Scope: One grows global from the day he enrols in a good university. While the option to get back to one’s own company is always open, one can opt for a career in different parts of the world.

• Practical Learning: Majorly case based approach makes classes very interesting and decreases reliance on books. One gets to learn even from exams, which are mostly case based. Even a statistics paper will teach you to look at things from a logical point of view and will involve little calculations.
  

• Strong Peer Group: People from more than twenty nations, with more than five years experience on average, will be studying with you. The trans-cultural exposure teaches to look at things from multiple angles.

• Better self-assessment: The good global colleges make you undergo various psychometric tests and let you have information interviews with highly experienced professionals. One really gets to know where his balance of aptitude and aspirations lie.
  

• Enjoyable Experience: While people often crib about the time in a B school, my experience so far suggests that if you are clear about what you want out of your MBA, and possess a big heart, you can really enjoy your time in the B school.

• Global Network: Good colleges have history of 100 years or more and hence, a very strong alumni base. By the time you get over with your MBA, you will have a great network of people with different cultural and professional background. You can leverage immensely from this network.
