Management is doing things right, leaderships is doing the right things.

                                                                                                                     -- Peter F Drucker

The global business environment is moving at a galloping pace and is becoming increasingly complex. Organizations need highly talented youth with effective managerial skills to encounter all business vicissitudes. Now the strategy of corporate entities is to recruit exuberant MBAs to survive in this complicated business world. Corporate entities strongly believe that fresh MBAs can drive organizations quickly and smoothly to adjust with the global economic pace. Global business entities are desperately in need of fresh talent to get returns on their huge capital investments.

Regardless of your reasons, if you are contemplating attending graduate school to obtain your MBA, you should read this article before you make your final decision. This article will take you through all the important issues you need to contemplate before making your decision of whether — and when — to obtain your MBA.

What is an MBA? It’s a Master of Business Administration degree, granted after one to two years of graduate-level university study that provides training in the theory and practice of business management. The MBA is basically a document that certifies that you have a general competency in all the major functional management roles you’ll find in the modern corporation. An MBA is a career accelerator across a number of industries and MBA graduates can usually command higher salaries.

Ideal Time to Get MBA

When is the best time to enroll in an MBA program? The obvious answer is to enroll at a point in your career when the MBA is necessary to take your career to the next level, but the choice is never that simple.

For the college undergrad, the biggest question you need to ask yourself is why — why are you interested in going straight through and getting your MBA right after your bachelor’s degree? The top-ranked programs will not even admit you if you don’t have at least several years of experience, and a freshly minted MBA with little or no job experience is often in a much tougher job hunt than a recent college grad with little or no job experience.

For the job-seeker, the question about getting your MBA involves how as much as when. Will you keep working while earning your MBA in a part-time program or do you have the financial resources to quit your job and return to school full-time? Will your current employer help finance your MBA? Do you need the MBA as part of a career change — and if so, how are you going to do it?

Finally, there is the question of the economy. Some people think it’s a good hedge to get an MBA during an economic slowdown — a safe haven — rather than face the tough job market; however, when the economy is bad, even having an MBA is no guarantee of obtaining a lucrative job offer. The best advice? Talk to recruiters and MBA career placement counselors — and read the current trends in magazines such as Business World, Times of India, and Fortune500 and World Report.

MBA Enrollment Trends

The number of MBA degrees conferred annually has seen explosive growth over the last few decades, going from under 5,000 MBAs in 1960 to more than 100,000 MBAs in 2000 — and now averaging more than 150,000 annually, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). Enrollment is also influenced by the economy, and as the economy turns toward a downturn, both recent grads and displaced workers head back to earn their MBAs.

Because of the growing number of graduate business programs that confer more and more MBA degrees, the degree itself is not as special or highly-valued as in the past. An MBA alone will not be the magic key to the door of career and job-hunting success.

Types of MBA

One of the questions you’ll need to answer is whether you are interested in a general MBA, which is often shorter in duration, or a specialized MBA, which may take longer but make you more marketable.

Regardless of the type of MBA, the core topics you’ll encounter include:

·         Accounting

·         Quantitative analysis

·         Economics

·         Marketing

·         Organizational behavior

·         Operations Management

·         Finance

·         Information Technology

·         Communication

·         Business Ethics

·         Consumer behavior

·         Advertising

Specialized MBAs offer more advanced study in a particular area of business (such as marketing) or a particular industry (such as higher education).

Finally, you’ll need to determine the value of the “name” of the program you are considering. If you are searching for a big push that fast tracks your career, snagging an MBA from one of the top schools in the country may be the ticket. But, if you’re looking to simply get ahead and move your careers along, don’t discount the many MBA programs that are unranked but that offer you the degree and value you need.

MBA Costs — and Returns

Factors that can affect your salary include:

·         whether you stay with your current employer or seek a job with a new employer.

·         the amount of relevant experience you have for the job you are seeking.

·         the reputation of the graduate school you attended.

·         the type of job you are seeking — and the level of supply/demand for workers.

·         the industries where you are seeking a job.

·         the location of the jobs you are seeking.

But don’t forget to factor in the costs as well, with the average cost of graduate study leading to an MBA at about 100,000. Tuition and expenses add up to about 54,000 per academic year (resulting in an investment of more than 300,000 for the full-time two-year MBA). You’ll find tuition closer to 45,000-100,000 at state university and college graduate programs, and those schools with generic MBA degrees.

What an MBA Can Do for Your Career

If you’re looking for the MBA to help you get into the executive suite, it may be just the ticket you need. a graduate degree in business is still important to reach senior management ranks within most companies.

And there is growing evidence that having an MBA not only gives you more leverage in dictating new job titles and salary, but also gives you leverage in achieving a better balance between work (read: fewer hours working) and life outside work.

Pursuit of Young MBAs

To get original professional glamor rather than artificial make-up, B-Schools must remain steadfast. Now, its challenge is to meet global trends by imparting new knowledge, enhancing creative and entrepreneurial talents, ethical values and mould MBA aspirants as global managers. MBAs must take prudent career choices which will help them to learn all the essential skills required on the job in order to become effective managers. Those who fail to acquire this foundation of managerial competencies in the starting days will suffer badly in future when they are promoted as team leaders or run their own enterprises. An MBA graduate can be described as one who acquires knowledge and enhances corporate skills in a wide range of areas that together makes him a competent manager. Skills developed during the course of the program enable students to show real professionalism by giving the right shape to management practices, exhibiting managerial skills and creative talents and imparting new management techniques to bring real corporate image to the organization. Many young MBAs (especially B-School students) want to find the best campus placements. They come under enormous pressure from their parents to bag high-salaried jobs on campus recruitments and are also expected to have a corporate look after two years of the MBA program. So, students must develop soft skills and basic corporate skills to lure the employers.

Life Skills Play a Vital Role

• Future managers must focus on life skills from the date of admission itself. Students must not only be confined to personality development books but also read about the environment, geography, economy, history and international political affairs thoroughly.
• Watch English news channels: NDTV, CNN, BBC and listen to famous personalities talk on various issues. This will improve listening skills and communication skills.
• Cultivate the habit of jotting down day-to-day activities in a diary in English. Learn new languages and try to frame sentences. This enables students to write effective business reports and enhances their writing abilities.
• Try to speak in English always and never let go of the chance, whenever there is an opportunity, to speak in English. Frequently watch good English movies in theaters or on TV. Try to follow the dialogues carefully.
• To build self-confidence, participate in all college events and deliver speeches on the dais. This improves fluency and removes stage fear.
• Get command over fundamental, on domain subjects and develop application-oriented working style.

·         To develop general awareness by using Library.

• Discuss burning issues such as the global financial crisis, inflation, environmental pollution, etc., with your peers.
• Try to develop your personality and self- confidence. Don't be an introvert.

No `Spoon-feeding'

The transition from a theoretically-oriented classroom coaching and a spoon-feeding environment has became obsolete. The present world demands aggressive learning methods to face the real world of cut-throat competition. It is likely to be unmanageable for students unless they are properly trained. Admissions have to be merit-based followed by quota. Smart alumni should be invited to motivate the students by sharing their experiences and insights on the extent to which they learned at the institution that has helped them to succeed in life. Besides classroom coaching, live projects, paper presentations, seminars and industrial visits must be added to the curriculum as mandatory. This would help MBAs to relate to what is taught to what happens in the real world. To inculcate self-grooming and learning capacities in students allot some activity-oriented tasks such as library assignments, classroom seminars, group discussions, role-plays, quiz, talent search, etc. These are immensely useful for students to exhibit their talents. These activities must be considered as academic and some marks must be allotted for internal evaluation.

Role of B-Schools

Students with a will to do great things but without the talent to do them are a tragedy. Talent has become a strategic issue as companies take decisions based on the availability of talented workforce. Corporate firms are searching for young MBAs who have the zeal and passion for work. Unfortunately, management education in India merely focuses on concepts and ideas. It doesn't provide them with how theoretical concepts actually work or its practical application. Gaining practical experience and knowledge take much time and are long-term oriented. Usually students' project work helps them to acquire industrial knowledge and to understand corporate work culture. Management institutions and B-Schools face the challenge of how to enhance professional excellence in MBAs. Now, they have begun to upgrade their curriculum to meet corporate demands. B-Schools are introducing innovative teaching and creative learning methods to augment the hidden talents of students. Everywhere, skill and talent enrichment are given top priority. Thus, the goal of management education has become a challenging task to recruit top-notch faculty to provide excellent management education for moulding students into industry-ready professionals.

Identify Special Talents

Obviously many students don't get the opportunity to showcase their talents in the early days of management education. Hence, teachers should recognize hidden talents of students and motivate them in the right way. They can identify students' level of intellectual stamina based on varied interests. In fact, a positive classroom and college environment attract students to showcase their innate talents. Recognizing talent is the right way to encourage student involvement in management meets. Teacher observation permits the evaluation of development over time. They should monitor how students use their time, and how they express their feelings in various contexts. Remember students' actions are indicators of their behavior and personality. Progress of students overtime, along with overall achievement, can be assessed by various scientific parameters for improving their profiles. This allows for evaluation in areas such as exceptional learning, usage and generation of knowledge. Also, unlike standardized tests, profile improving assessment tests enhance the creativity of students. Identifying the special talents of students coming from diverse backgrounds is just the first step towards helping them achieve their full potential. B-Schools should invent new programs and teaching tools to create interest among students. The teacher should focus on demonstration of subjects in a realistic way rather than merely delivery the lecture.

Eyeing the Youth

Since the advent of globalization, the industry is thriving on fresh and multifaceted talent to run the business effectively. Many corporate entities are facing the problem of an ageing workforce. This has led to the demand for young and skilled employees, especially in developing countries. India's youth has to grab this opportunity to capture potential job markets. Western companies are trying to recruit young people because a huge workforce is going retire soon. Activity-oriented learning will teach MBAs to face the real world and shape them into effective, professional managers.

Setting Eyes on the Competitive World

Management education should not be just exam-oriented; it must vigorously train students to tackle life challenges. Business is flux and unpredictable. So, skill enrichment and practical-oriented learning are highly essential for MBAs. Marks alone can't assure a comfortable life. World has become so turbulent that students need various job skills to meet the aggressive competition. Assertive consumer demands, temporariness of employment have led to frequent relearning. Hence, Gen-Y will continue to develop new grooming skills throughout their life. They have to keep in mind that value-added jobs alone are well-paid and routine jobs continued to be less remunerative. After globalization the government no longer remains the main employer. Corporate firms have opened their doors to the exuberant youth to meet the fierce competition and believe that this is the time to pump young energies into their organizations to survive in future.

Update Pedagogy

Faculties should have a link with the real world through research and consultancy which would bring authenticity to their teaching and enhance their professionalism. Interact with corporate entities and make some MoUs which enable faculties to acquire valuable contacts with potential employers and facilitate better placements for the students. Design a curriculum to enhance problem-solving skills in students and more scope to put creative thoughts into practice. B-Schools should develop a creative environment with new technologies to expose MBAs to new challenges. MBAs require clear objectives, a flexible teaching and learning environment and evaluation based on skills. Now the Internet has become the integral part of learning. It gives an ample supply of latest information to enrich knowledge and delve into new domains. Now, MBAs require not only quality education but also seek right information about job opportunities and placements. As a result, MBA colleges are trying to create an innovative and flexible learning environment.

Challenges for Young Executives

Perhaps, age acts as a barrier for someone young occupying a high position.

Problem with Age

Age is the biggest hurdle for young executives as people don't take them seriously. Young honchos concede that the tough task is to get respect from people. Recognition comes automatically with gray hair. But young managers can get recognition slowly with their commitment towards work and performance. Owing to their young age, peers treat them as a friend, but not superior. But this doesn't mean that they should crack the whip.

Right Delegation of Work

The present generation doesn't feel guilty in committing intellectual mistakes and learn new lessons from them. They like to delegate work and follow the principle of win-win. The new age leaders have a rare sense of humility and level-headedness. There is no sense of pride. Due to heavy workload, delegation of work to subordinates is right because they too get to explore new challenges and growth in profile. executives don many roles and wear different caps before expecting a big position. They have to watch every aspect of business closely and delegate some work to lower cadre employees. But delegation is a vital element which decides the fate and future of organizations. Young managers must know how to figure out the vacuum and weakness of firm and fill the gaps with effective delegation of work to the right candidates.

Team Motivation

Team motivation is a difficult task. Young executives must view each day anew and infuse the right spirit in the employees. They should spend a lot of time in setting up the perfect organizational structure and an effective system. Stand every day with a winning spirit and behave in a professional manner. Nothing can stop people if they are honest and good to others. Young leaders should not feel that their age is an obstacle in the way of a successful career. Just win people's trust and reap the benefits. Invest more time for team members and infuse zeal in them. Make people happy at the end of the day and share their feelings. Consider employees the biggest asset and focus upon them in front of customers.

The premier quality of an effective manager is the ability to laugh even at failure and develop the art of troubleshooting in the company. This spirit pumps new energies and strengths. Be a keen learner and do new things in life.
