MBA Programmes:
Adding Value to Management Development:
It is widely accepted that virtually all organisations have to operate in an increasingly competitive and rapidly changing environment. Customers demand more, and the advent of e-business is revolutionising corporate practices and creating competitive threats and opportunities on a global scale.
In facing this challenge, organisations from every sector need to build their reputations as leaders in their field on more than just the product they sell or the service they offer.
Normally, MBA programme aims to equip managers and strategic decision-makers with knowledge, skills and competencies that will help increase the organisation's capacity for innovation and creative problem solving.
The School seeks to enrol able and highly motivated students; to provide a quality programme which already has a reputation for its academic rigour; and produce high calibre MBA graduates.
As organisations face challenges such as heightened competition, demanding customers, changing working practices and globalisation, the rigorous imposition of standards of excellence becomes a matter of necessity. A main aim of the
MBA is to equip managers to contribute more effectively to corporate strategic planning and problem solving. It is structured to cover core management subjects, with particular emphasis on leadership, strategy and the context of a rapidly changing external environment.
The strengths of the programme are many, but some of the benefits include the following:
- The intake of students is deliberately kept small to enable more meaningful interaction amongst students themselves and between students and staff.
- The focus is not sector-specific. Experience has shown that management development is enhanced when managers have the opportunity to share experiences with those from other sectors, and access other perspectives on situations and problems.
- Run on an "executive" basis, the MBA allows for professionals to continue with their careers whilst developing skills and competencies which can be directly applied to work-based situations.
- Acclaimed by its external examiners for its academic rigour, the Executive MBA Programme imposes strict selection criteria to maintain the quality of its students and graduates. This makes it a truly value-adding product for those organisations which are committed to management development.
Any MBA should provide a detailed knowledge of all of the subjects related to business management. However, the
MBA is distinctive on several fronts that bear direct relevance to the business environment.
The small intake allows for detailed scrutiny of individual and team performance, and provides an ideal setting for teaching staff to demonstrate the extent to which the different disciplines are integrated. This is arguably the most important element of an MBA programme.
