How to choose the EMBA program

Suit a crowd: EMBA suits the have the very rich management experience of the senior management personnel, including government economic management department, domestic large and medium-sized enterprises, private enterprises, multinational companies enterprise the senior. Education for university undergraduate course graduation and eight years of practical experience, the graduate student must have 5 years working experience. At least 4 years or above 4 years management experience. Age generally does not more than 50 years of age.

EMBA is senior master of business administration, is cultivating business leaders and enterprise senior management staff of senior hall, because its day price tuition, and have called for the "richest club" EMBA, read the EMBA is investing heavily on choose and buy a luxury residential, so how should be selected, to make the right choice?

  

Teachers are powerful teachers is an important measure of the strength of the school standards. General EMBA colleges propaganda internationalized vision, so how many overseas scholars have background professor, doctor's degree teacher ratio, how much business from famous entrepreneurs how many, have actual management experience of other teacher professorial what proportion of, can judge the school teachers strength level.

Read EMBA is investing heavily on choose and buy a luxury residential, so the various factors must be careful consideration: brand, such as school teachers, internationalization degree, alumni network, detailed understanding, correctly to evaluation.

Alumni network read EMBA, many people are at the high level of the alumni network, and the exchange students can also be influenced by many inspiration. Therefore, to choose the school is also choose classmates. Can refer to their students' distribution, different EMBA programs have different characteristics, suitable for different work nature of the newspaper reading. Alumni level can be a class hierarchy EMBA a reference standard.

Choose course should choose "module"

International and diverse in the EMBA degree of internationalization today, its internationalization degree become EMBA strength and rankings consider important index. Including teaching materials and the case of internationalization, professor team of internationalization, the teaching way and concept of internationalization, teaching language of internationalization, international exchange, etc.

Different modules EMBA course tie-in choice generally divided into three, required curriculum elective courses, and core curriculum. According to the curriculum system some is divided into different modules. Students can reasonable allocation, a rich curriculum delicacies.

Short board module choose each student's foundation and short board is different, so should according to their weak link in the elective course on learning. Such as financial weakness is, can be in a few door in elective mixture.

Report read error

Error: the higher the degree of internationalization, the better. General internationalization of higher is English teaching, if foreign language foundation is bad, learn to understand difficult will affect effect. Second, the international cases with local many actual deviation is further, to the actual enterprise guidance is not big.

Myth: star teachers the more the better. Although star teachers in their academic field in front, but they can contribute to the EMBA students' time and experience is limited. Some teachers only nominally professor, and there is no actual teaching, please understand clearly.

Warm prompt: EMBA course of study way belong to on-the-job learning, every month by using a weekend four days on learning, students will arrange their own time, and deal with the work. The school will hold regular management BBS, EMBA lectures, and absalom, and students can spare time for these activities, learn at the same time expanding making friends circle.

How to improve the business school of higher value

Think back to the last time you read books of business management. It provides what kind of evidence to support his claims? Yes, from the real world very enlightening the case may be, but the case study has its limitations. We need to know where the limitations of it, don't be veiled.

This is because of the problem of excessive rely on case studies to do the conclusion, almost completely don't consider any other factors. Careful analysis can really offers some Suggestions to help people get some results, or to avoid some consequences. But if we neglect case study limitations will get into trouble, next we will this one normal circumstance:

Description: what happened

Alfred Sloan in 1963 published autobiography "I in General Motors Years" (My Years with General Motors) is the paragon: effective descriptive case studies cannot leave the detail. Sloan in 1923-1956 served as General Motors (General Motors) President, chief executive and chairman, and other position, this from the point of view of the autobiography he described his role in General Motors and he bred principle.

 In many business management books, the success of the famous enterprise, such as Southwest Airlines (Southwest Airlines), often by the performance of analyzing carefully, trying to find their way to success. But the statement often unable to agree. The success of the southwest airlines because the company strategy? This of course is not without reason. So for enterprise culture? In a lot of respects, this statement also makes sense, although this conclusion is based on completely different information. Will the company is because it strategy, but also because it's enterprise culture? Oh, right, and also the management ability, and if from another Angle carries on the analysis, the factors seem also is very important. If all look very important which, how do we know the most attention should be what?

Sloan in this book not according to the personal experiences any sums up, no flash any claim, he put these to readers. But his record inspired generations of managers and researchers, attempts to summarize if meet the challenge of as Sloan did, what action should be taken.

One is according to the case and carefully selected from a large number of data derived out to prove a theory, to test the reliability of the theory of ignoring other large number of samples. In other words, they provide to us is "for example", not evidence. Second, a carefully selected cases, usually is one of the best company. This problem is especially serious, because there is no example cases with wider association between samples, also have good reasons why the representative cases.

Explanation: why is this happening

 If our case is not widely used, we describe the best not to scale beyond Sloan. Again, selling commercial management books often a Passover this boundary. Do not eliminate some exceptions, but overall, most of these books have the following one of two defects.

What happened is matter; Understand the reason behind is a horse of a different color. Business historian Alfred master? Chandler with case studies to help us to understand the organization department of appear. Chandler in its groundbreaking classic "Strategy and Structure" (Strategy and Structure) key talked about the four companies: DuPont (DuPont), general motors, Sears (Sears) and Standard Oil (Standard Oil). Based on these results, he got a set of assumptions, this group of hypothesis stand the hundreds or thousands of cases of analysis countless times inspection, and to support the chandler point--in diversified enough of the companies around functions (accounting, production, marketing) construction company structure, as around the market structure more efficient.

Prediction: what will happen next

Talking about forecast, the situation is even worse. Most business management books from the exaggerated explain further, jump to groundless prediction. They are of the opinion that it is in their there, so it has the same here with you. This view is based on: "this way in the past, so effective is also expected to help you according to their wishes to decide the future", but this hypothesis obviously deficiencies.

A reasonable forecast was the only way to predict are given, and then see if it can withstand repeated the test and verify. I don't know that today's business management books which this ever to give advice had even to the scientific method to touch the edge of a point on the forecast accuracy verification. (yes, I know had such a number of this. But it is my own, so I write my evaluation of the pros and cons. It convenient)

The real world is very complex, want to undertake controlling experiment is almost impossible. But could not provide forecast accuracy of the evidence, it's not that you can change the rules of evidence. And, the imaginary things as the facts will only have dangerous misleading. Only when the case study included reliable causal relationship, they can help us accurately predict the results.

A description, explain or predict support, case study can help us, but may not the same, reliability and each different. So, the next time somebody say "such as", you may need to think it over.

But popular commercial management analysis there are few such comprehensive explanation. Excellent enterprise are immediately as a great company, reason is controversial. Business books and periodicals publishers are also always have their favourite: about ten years is Southwest Airlines (Southwest Airlines), today is round to Apple (Apple). People were at sixes and sevens, will these companies success attributable to in strategy, culture, management ability and other factors.

All these explanations are a point, but the correct explanation to make sense of all the related to facts, understand why they better than other explanations. This is chandler research results have been achieved to standard. Unfortunately, today's business case studies tend to rely on the reader to decide what is a reasonable explanation, allowing readers to weigh the evidence is reliable.

How to apply for American MBA, apply for the conditions of the MBA? What are those?

Recently in on a master of business administration (MBA) application on the lecture, said the examinee to apply for the industry and commerce management master to meet three conditions.

But in most cases, mba students an average of 5 years working experience, the school hopes that students have a successful career, and put these practical experience to class and classmates; The applicant should have enough money. The mba tuition is expensive, and in the United States 2 years of living expenses are not a small amount of money. The officials advise everybody in the selection of the cost into consideration. School and work background good candidates must try to apply for a scholarship, the ta or ras opportunities.

MBA employment market is on the mend

Not surprisingly, this optimism is also infected his business school. According to the MBA vocational service committee (MBACareerServicesCouncil) of the latest data, 76% of us business school report said campus recruitment activities more than last year. As the university of California at Berkeley haas school recruitment affairs director lisa feldman (LisaFeldman) said, "even though the economy is bad, investment Banks and consulting company has stuck to recruitment MBA graduates, to ensure adequate reserves of leaders, chevron and abbott laboratories' such a big company also continues to recruitment, meet internal LunXun project needs. We now see the real difference is that recruiters are willing to invest more time, money and the enthusiasm, the number of available jobs also greatly increased.

Tucker business school career development affairs joint competent Rebecca Joe put red (RebeccaJoffrey) the report is also optimistic. "This year the situation is very gratifying for the past six years-is the best of the situation. The two years many companies are seriously slowed rhythm, so this year for economic recovery, they must be very actively aggressively recruiting to just go, this effect shows out." Thanks to the college close alumni network, and tucker business students mora job, 97% of the class of 2010 graduated in three months after receiving the notice employed. Joe eph Rachel says, the prospect of 2011 will be more beautiful, "each industry is to strengthen the recruitment efforts this year, retail industry, a 10% increase in the number of jobs, of course, finance and consulting company is also a thriving elephant."

 According to the global professionals and managers of the latest survey employment trends, MBA employment market seems to finally find the confidence. For example, the international professional recruitment company Antal July edition of "global snapshots" six continents throughout the investigation of the nearly 1.3 companies, of which 52% is looking for, a 50% in February. In many important emerging market, such confidence more evident, such as Brazil, now have 70% of employers plan in three months recruiting professional or managers, in China the proportion is 70%, India is as high as 80%.

If think globally, many key market is almost completely have not been affected. "In 2009, to the needs of our graduates will drop slightly," Australia Melbourne business school academic project director Jane prachanda Lyle (JanePrior) said, "but on the whole, by the economic crisis of the impact of Australia and many other countries can't degree, and now here, compared the bank and consulting company is on an unprecedented scale aggressively recruiting."

 Of course, to use Mark Twain words, even in the global financial crisis, the most serious time, the so-called "MBA recruitment death" as an exaggerated reports of serious, the taste of bluster. Although banking recruit of MBA students must not with the number of before compared, consulting company may also be more cautious some, but Google and amazon, came to the relatively new market company, and small and medium-sized enterprise largely made up for the industry cut. Haas school of lisa feldman, points out: "mass consumer goods companies and retail enterprise of active show that, at least from the MBA recruitment's point of view, the economic recession sure is over."

Located in the Indian business school in hyderabad, graduates of acceptance for more than two years ago by 65%. "Consulting and financial company is still great patron," the school marketing and communication, rumsfeld · godot in charge of para what kerry south (SriramGopalakrishnan) said, "but the students to Google and Facebook emerging technology companies such as also produced a great interest in luxury and energy company, on campus and began a place."

In 2011 a little new development is worth to face: a potential employer and potential employees the balance of power between seems to have changed. 2008 years after the lehman brothers collapse, MBA students still can find work, but that depends on invest a lot of time and effort, pursue every opportunity to do so. Now, to snatch greatly intensified, with McKinsey's famous for, "talent wars broke out again, and not as a few years ago that talk up" talent conflict ". "We see companies as early as possible and hope to enter the campus, worry about the right to late they graduate will flower falls another," Canada's McGill university, college of management SangTeEr Marie jose bo Dan (Marie-JoseBaudin) points out, "many companies also provide internship programs put more money in business school, so students into a full-time job market attracted them before."

The balance of the tilt may also significant change the nature of the ecological MBA recruitment, at least in the next few years its influence will be quite obvious, face a lot of opportunities to spread out before, the graduates will thoroughly examine, selected. At present had signs that, because of the financial services industry him in great day in 2007, related company as a career choice may be diminished in the appeal. A recent MBA students at top of the survey, Goldman sachs may finally lost "the most desirable employers" status. According to the results of the survey, Goldman sachs has slipped to the top fifth, received only 19.1% of the students eventually, and MBA job market counterpart Google every second win, getting 27.8% by students, second only to McKinsey &company. Ranking sixth, seventh and ninth also is science and technology company, respectively is apple, Facebook and amazon, 10 name is design consulting company IDEO. "Now the students to the mission of driven model company more interested in," tucker business school Rebecca Joe eph Rachel said, "they hope for a soul company work, namely the positive effect of the world to the company."

How to be a good MBA manager

Managers to ensure that employees accumulated power, are willing to invest, and enjoy the fun? How to progress in daily work to provide staff support? In fact, the most effective way is to provide the catalyst and nutrition agent, in order to promote the progress of the project, and to eliminate the job may lead to frustration inhibitors and poison agent.
For managers, and more important than improving the productivity of team is? But what will stimulate staff, especially the knowledge staff to make the best performance, most of the managers have a misconception. In this paper the author after ten years of hard work, the in-depth study of the creative work team members of the log, based on this reveals the mysteries of these: work in progress every day in the sense of accomplishment is the key to encourage employees.
The so-called catalyst, is to provide support work behavior, including the establishment of clear objectives, let autonomy, provide enough resources and time to work and help with an open mind, from the success or failure of learning, and allow employees free to exchange ideas and so on. The opposite of the catalyst is inhibitors, including don't provide support, deliberately interference of this process.
Nutrition agent refers to support each other's behavior, such as respect for others, recognition, and encourage or spiritual comfort, ownership, etc, and on the contrary it agent of the poison, instead, it refers to the lack of respect, stroke, ignore other morale emotional, manufacturing interpersonal conflict, and so on. Nutrition agent and poison agency also work against direct influence on the psychological.
Mention "progress", we usually think is to achieve long-term goals or a major breakthrough experience the sense of joy. Let the great achievements of course is amazing, but relative to the realization and several. Fortunately, even small progress can greatly improve the staff's working psychology. And, of course, on the other hand, the small loss and setbacks will also work to bring the huge psychological negative influence. So to managers that, should try to reduce the negative events daily work is very important.
Catalyst and nutrition agent management behavior actually not mysterious, if not a common sense, also can be safely management content. But the author's research shows that the log, the fact is managers usually sits. Their research company, even those who care about their employees more managers, also failed to continue to provide the catalysts and nutrition agent.
"Progress principle" the most important significance lies in: through the support and promote them in meaningful work more and more progress, managers can not only improve the staff's working psychology, can improve the organization's long-term performance, which will further improve the staff's working psychology. Of course, this cycle also have adverse side and a possible negative feedback loop.
"Progress theory" another significance lies in: let employees incentive and happiness, managers need to understand music no employees. Then psychology, or control all kinds of complicated the means of incentive. As long as they can give employees a basic respect and compassion, can focus on the job itself support.
Become effective manager, you must learn to start this positive feedback loop. This may require you to make more change. Business school courses, managers and management books, usually will focus on the management organization or employees, but if you can concentrate on work progress management, employee management, and even the organization management, will become easier. You don't have to try to go to ponder the staff's working psychology, as long as you can keep them push in meaningful work to achieve continuous progress so that they clearly see progress, be good to them, and they will naturally produce create excellence performance feeling, driving force necessary and perception. Its good performance will lead to the success of the organization. It has a beautiful: they love their work.

2008 years of snow, in the heart of many who have left a deep impression, also let us MBA deeper experience and emergency yearning. Although the blizzard and hair, our long struggle finally came to the inspection of the moment. Competition is intense, the window is cold, but the burning passion. The examination room like battlefield, some people finish rolling, some people struggle, sad XianGuan fluky psychology, YingDaRuLiu elaborate design.

One is correctly deal with the relationship between work and study. Study and work of the students of class weekend, it really is a pair of contradictory relationship. But, study and work completely instead, the study is for better work, work no learning improve. Therefore, we must do the work in time, and strengthen learning, make sure to read the desired effect, the study results.

Three is to pay attention to the social practice and cultivate the innovative ability.

To set up the correct self-awareness, and strengthen their adjustment, continuously encourage yourself, make full use of various resources, improve social skills, realize the practice and innovation ability enhancement.
Four is to improve the level of academic research. As a graduate student, is must to professional knowledge of the research analysis ability, see the essence through the phenomenon, grasping things rules, for knowledge achievements in theory. We should not only complete degree thesis, more important is to have the ability, has the knowledge, ability, improve the level of the MBA academic research.
