Should you study for an MBA?
I spoke with a journalist whilst I was away. She was researching for an article on whether now is a good time to study for an MBA when the market is shrinking. It depends! Yes if you want to stretch beyond a profession and into general management and you have the potential for senior roles, but if you are unlikely to progress further whilst it may be enriching, it could also be frustrating if you don’t get to use your knowledge, plus it’s expensive and intellectually demanding.
If you do choose to study, research your options, whilst you can make amazing contacts at London Business School, Warwick or Henley the costs are high. I got my MBA via the Open University, it gets high levels of student satisfaction and you can study part time which mans you can put what you learn into practice, but there is much more working alone.
You might find the following online MBA Directory handy http://www.nxtbook.com/gp/gp/mba_guide09/
Finally, do check that the MBA is from a university accredited to AMBA. http://www.mbaworld.com/
