currently on the market many business schools and universidedes offering postgraduate courses and Masters with a wide range of prices and programs. This time I focus on the MBA (Master in Business Administration) as always based on my own experience (in my case I made an executive MBA last year). Not to advertise some schools will not include names or other of them, such information as the rankings (in which I do not trust long) are easily accessible on the Internet. In any case if you want to ask me something specific about a particular school or you can send an email to bauldehuellas@gmail.com.
The first question to ask is why I want an MBA? The answers in most cases three, which may have more or less weight to each other:
1) To supplement my training and experience
2) To put it in the curriculum and access to a better professional position
3) To establish a network of professional confidence which use on job changes
We
these 3 points in mind to choose one or another school-master.
Selection criteria
Regarding the training aspect, it is noteworthy that the MBA makes special emphasis on financial, economic and business executive training supplemented by marketing and sales, production and distribution , etc. My recommendation is not to pursue an MBA to have about 3 years experience working at least one large company. That will give us experience and a vision that will take much more the MBA. There are of course aimed at newly qualified MBAs but not recommend it because, as I said, they get much less "juice" and you will see everything from a perspective much more theoretical, less applied to the experience and therefore be treated less knowledge.
Almost all MBAs used as a method of learning the case method based on real business case studies. MBA is essential in a practical vision of the application of knowledge so teacher quality is one of the key fundamental choosing the MBA. A good teacher will keep you tied to your chair, learning and large pasándotelo on real experiences but the topic is not entertaining in itself. A bad teacher can make an interesting topic in a supreme boredom you're wanting to escape.
other hand it is very important to number of students per classroom and disposition thereof. There are very prestigious MBAs (which usually represent a fairly high cost) whose classes are classrooms full of students (university type) and therefore not only encourages participation of students. In other cases, however, classes are limited to approximately 20 students and classes available in a "U" which radically changes the group environment, much better, more open and participatory.
My advice is that if you have in mind a specific MBA:
* Search forums or ask others who have made
* Meet with the director of the school and you "sell" to give you all the information of teachers, see the facilities and classrooms, question the number of students per classroom, etc.
hours and location
For schedules, MBA full time is required to use vacation or leave of absence in the works. Others allow it compatible if the company gets permission, they are often several days a week in the evenings. Finally there are the weekend, often on Friday evening and Saturday all day. I chose the latter option. I assure you it's a little hard to run out on weekends for over a year but looking back I think the best option.
is also important to see the location and access of the business school and we're going to have to go many times and sometimes there are logistical issues rule out a particular school.
requirements and "prestige"
Finally I wanted to tell you that for me a very important point in the MBA is to enjoy it, have fun while you learn. As you pointed out, in recent years prices have soared MBA certain justification to be the more "prestigious" and appear in a better position rankings. As "name" for the curriculum is always better recognized MBA but ultimately is not so important. Moreover MBAs "top" are usually more crowded and require a large number of meetings with teams outside of the master schedule. This usually occurs in varying degrees in all MBAs but the best reputations are often abused these practices. I have a few friends who have spent a year with the master face the weekends and the rest of the week staying up the night with their teams to prepare for work. I do not think this is the best philosophy of an MBA and is not necessary.
My experience
Finally, based on these criteria, I chose an executive MBA in a good school (although not the "top") in my case located in Madrid. The quality was very good, teachers, content and atmosphere. Moreover, the effort required outside the hours of master was very reasonable for what could very well make it compatible with my professional and personal life (children included). And the price was really good compared with the market. In short, a highly recommended experience and the best value for money I could find. I will not advertising it here but if you are interested that you discuss what school is and important details such as prices, etc, you can send an email to bauldehuellas@gmail.com and I will answer all I can.
I hope I was of help!
