wow....it's totally different from Segi's MBA...yours sounded more professional...heheh...i guess that's y there is a Rm70k difference...hehe...
we have flown in lecturers in part 2, not part 1..

My Marketing management (should be the same as your MS) is just a marketing plan for an imaginary company..(thanks tinkerbel.. notworthy.gif )...but we do have case studies on McD, Air Asia, Walmart and some other companies..

IB: Assignment is not based on any company but we have to invest in a foreign company, also create an imaginary company, evaluate the GDP, FDI of the country, various ways to invest and something like that (I got an A rclxm9.gif whistling.gif ...hehehe)

BIS - 1 assignment this sem. Based on Carr's critism and write about Web 2.0 technology in an organisation. (Frankly, none of my IT frens heard this before. Luckily I found a web programmer from my company dat is able to shed some light. 2500 - 3000 words)

Cheers biggrin.gif

p/s: u need to read businessweek, financial times, economics  thumbup.gif

I did my business computing(that's what they called it in segi, i think now changed to business systems or something like that, but basically everything is the same) on Nicholass Carr's critism as well....

Do you have "IT Doesn't Matter" (i assume you are doing this critism, since it's the more famous one from Carr). To buy it from HBR is USD7, but you could get it free from Carr's Blog, just click the next part to read more.....The only difference from the one in his blog and the one being sold is that the one being sold includes the replies from other people to the article...quite a nice read as well...

Anyway, I did about 3k words on that...let me know if you want to "refer" to my assignments....I think i bout a B for that...cant really remember..hahah.... notworthy.gif

When you guys/girls started your MBA, do you have any business backgrounds at hand, i.e. a degree in business studies, accounting etc?

I am wondering how hard would it be for a non-business degree holder, i.e. engineer, programmer etc to cope up with lectures in MBA..

I had a computer science degree and 2 years working experience....

wow...urs is on Web 2.0 as well?? same critism....sigh, dunno y this fella create such a controversial issue..... rclxub.gif

u hv very good marks der......for MS, the highest marks for M'sia team is only 64 (not me) and IB, globally top is only 76  (m'sia top is 70) sweat.gif

on average, globally only scored ard 60 marks  shocking.gif

IMO, i dun think der's any difference with the degree background as we r all infants in MBA  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  (maybe i was from local degree punya pasal kua)
*
my marks are not high...it's just that the marking standards are different from markers to markers...hehhe....

My Business Computing was based on "IT doesn't matter" and "IT still doesn't matter". nothing on web 2.0....or maybe i missed it out..heheh.....
he creates a lot of critism....and being an IT student, the subject is hard....my whole life i've been doing computing, this fella comes in and says it doesn't matter doh.gif hehehhe....

I don't think the degree matters when you take the MBA, what matters is the experience you bring to the table.

Experience in engineering, development etc. can be very useful as well from a process & procedures point of view or to better understand the R&D or manufacturing side etc.

Personally I think what makes a difference is that you know your own stuff well and know how to communicate well.
*
the degree doesnt matter....as long as u have a degree.....and what tishaban said is right...it's the experience that you bring to the table.....
some MBAs dont even need a degree as prerequisite....as long as u have years and years of experice, they'll accept you.

@lokgotz & @tinkerbel

Actually prior the class starts, I always pre-read few chapters. Within 24 hours after the class, I will do a quick revision. In order to strengthen my memory, I am planning to do the mind mapping to summarize the lessons.

So, tinkerbel, any you have any assignments for my reference?  biggrin.gif

Does anyone know any MBA which is conducted during weekends? I travel overseas at least once a month during weekdays, so weekends are my only options.

I've been to some previews - Nottingham, Strathclyde (CDC) & UOB (Unity College) and it seems that CDC is the only one which conducts the classes on weekends.

Any advice?

Thanks.

University of Southern Queensland, offered by Segi College conducts MBA classes during weekends.

Just called my program coordinator and I passed my exams!

MBA year 2, here I come! hehehe

@Melon,
How's the MBA coming along?  I think it'll be good to catch up with you and get to know you in a more personal way *grins*  Let's meet up some time after in 2008? *grins*
*
Not meeting me???

Just kidding...

Anyway, I started my second year MBA at Segi..half way through 1st semester already...it is A LOT tougher than 1st year....and a lot more effort must be put into researches....

thinking of enrolling in 1 subject instead of the usual 2 for the next semester....cant really cope with it as work is kinda hectic these days..

@lokgotz,
If u can't cope with 2 subjects then defer 1 like u mentioned.  As long as u remain in school - do NOT make the same mistake as I did deferring the entire semester (once U start deferring, it's v tough to find the motivation to finish it!).  Yes will meet u but u male mah - i SHY !! *grins*  Melon's female so not so shy! *grins*
*
Might not be deferring. Still want to see if I can cope with this semester or not. So far so good, a bit stressed, but still ok.

u and melon can meet me mah.... drool.gif 2 female, 1 male.....i see no problem with that.....hahaha.....

Im planning to take MBA in segi college because its near with my place. Do you have any comments on segi?
*
what do you want to know about it? I am in 2nd year USQ MBA from segi, KD campus...

If it's near your house, i assume that it's the USJ campus, coz there got more houses, compared to KL and KD....the courses are more or less the same though...

just post your questions here, i'll see if i can answer it...

My suggestion to you is.. try to stay away from Segi if possible..
Course coordinator is very slow, unprofessional...
Lecturers even worst.. go to classes and talk cock in the class...
but if you are discipline enough to self study, do not need the college at all.. then it shoudlnt be a problem
*
half true...

there are some lecturers who treat us like undergrads.....but most of them are really professional in conducting classes...

"but if you are discipline enough to self study, do not need the college at all.. then it shoudlnt be a problem"
you'll still need to go to the college for lectures, you wouldn't understand based on the notes given....and the lecturers are there to facilitate, not to mention the other students.....you could really get good input from them....

the true part is that the course coordinator is unprofessional....this i agree.....they seem to know nuts when it comes to the second year of the MBA, every thing u ask, their answer is "go to the website, you'll get the answers there", "i cannot control this la, australian side decide one worr"

which campus are you referring to??

i am from the KD campus (used to be SS2)

MBA is no more a spoon-fed studying program, bro

Classes starting soon? KD or subang campus?

Anyway regarding your second post.
I have to say this but you'll be dissapointed in Segi. Read my previous post.

So SEGi is a bad idea ... ?? Obviously if money was no object then Nottingham/MBS/Overseas is best choice, but what if a particular poor guy who can only afford to spend 20-odd or 30k max wanted to take MBA, what would be a list of "ok" MBAs to choose from?

Anyway been shopping/asking around. Couple of friends are in UTAR's MBA (new-ish program), they don't have much good to say about it. But really, at this moment my only options are local U, or lower-end local college like SEGi/utar/etc etc.


Added on January 14, 2008, 10:47 am[add] I should also add that I work late, so another limiting factor is weekend-courses only ... hmm ... maybe should work 1-2 more years, ikat perut a bit, then resign and full time biggrin.gif

Segi is not a bad idea......but it's not as good compared to MBS/Nottingham....i'd say it's average

oh yeah, classes are ONLY on weekends....although sometimes (very rarely) u'll need to attend classes at night on weekdays..
