Online MBA Forum

One of the aspects of studying for a graduate degree as professional development is the fact that you are working with people who are doing research into your areas of interest. I've had a long correspondence with Professor in a good management school, who tells me that he is in the process of forming a Leadership Center, to attract managers who are mid career and have evolved successful management styles.

He would like to encourage them to study for a PhD, so that they can turn their experience (in the light of other management theory) into theory that other people can learn from. He maintains that a major problem for management is the fact that for many years it was not perceived as a subject that could be taught, so that handing on styles became the province of popularist books.

Studying an MBA where this kind of research is being actively pursued means that you can take advantage of some real cutting edge ideas, that are promulgated by people who have real experience.
