Hi All,
i'm planning to pursue my part time (E)MBA , however , we have many options such as online, blended and traditional, so it's a little tough to make a decision since it's a huge investment
i was hoping to get some feedback and opinions from anyone who has embarked on this journey recently .
A little bit about myself:
Been in the Telecommunications industry for the past 13 yrs holding Project , Program and Operational management roles. currently holding a mid-senior role and planning to leverage the MBA to accelerate my transition into a senior role.
i've done in depth research on the programmes available locally (Nottingham, Strathclyde, UM) but still cant make my decision. There are also online options for those highly ranked programmes (Warwick, Imperial, Durham), however the huge investment (about Rm200k) for a purely online program seems to be a little overwhelming .
i would like to start this discussion with the hopes that this could open up new perspectives and help to decide better and faster.
Thank you for reading and contributing.
My situation is exactly like yours and still attached to one of the telco company. Started off in technical as I have bac. In eng. And after 23 years career and many company (operator/vendor) Im in situation where business acumen is more needed to climb up the ladder (although have to acknowledge my technical skills has what brought me to where I am now). My only motivation to get this piece of paper is Im pursuing C-suite position in the industry (or elsewhere) . And I think its very hard to get notice for this if you only have tech bac. Cert to flex. I also hope with the networking gain thru the mba journey will open up more career opportunity in this position. Most of CxO I found in LinkedIn have mba to their profile although Im not sure if its legit. Im just starting to explore part time mba program and looking to have the cert from oversea’s Uni. In Malaysia, I have to admit, oversea’s MBA are somewhat ‘fancier’ and would appeal more to company/hirer as they also want to flex their C-level qualification especially if you are well known/MNC/GLC company (politician do this too i'm planning to pursue my part time (E)MBA , however , we have many options such as online, blended and traditional, so it's a little tough to make a decision since it's a huge investment

). Most that I have surveyed offer 12-months MBA program (bit odd knowing during my degree time I always thought that MbA would take atleast 2 years for full-time course). I want to also learn new thing (but not that extensive due to age-45 Y/O and time I can spend). So you can say my strategy is min. Input, max. Output thru this MBA journey
. Let’s share more here as Im also interested in this topic.This post has been edited by Hantulang: Sep 7 2023, 06:24 PM
