...Jump to: navigation, search A master's degree is an academic degree granted to individuals who have undergone study demonstrating a mastery or high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice.[1] Within the area studied, graduates are posited to possess advanced knowledge of a specialized body of theoretical and applied topics; high order skills in analysis, critical evaluation or professional application; and the ability to solve complex problems and think rigorously and independently. They are awarded after graduation from university.[1] In some languages, a master's degree is called a magister, and magister or a cognate can also be used for a person who has the degree. There are various degrees of the same level, such as engineer's degrees, which have different names for historical reasons. See List of master's degrees. There has recently been an increase in programs leading to these degrees in the United States; more than twice as many of such degrees are now awarded as compared to the 1970s. In Europe, there has been a standardisation of conditions to deliver the master's degrees and most countries present degrees in all disciplines.[2] he two most common titles of master's degrees are the Master of Arts (M.A.) and Master of Science (M.S., MSc, M.Si., or M.Sc.); these may be course-based, research-based, or a mixture of the two. Some universities use the Latin degree names; because of the flexibility of word order in Latin, the Master...

I’d like to welcome my guest, Jim Coleman, who recently completed the course. Jim has agreed to share what he learned. Let’s get started. Jim, what were some things you learned from the business course that other MBA students might find interesting? Jim: By taking this course, I learned that it’s important for managers to have an understanding of business in a complex environment. I see more clearly how to use the appropriate channels of communication for increased efficiency and effectiveness. I also have an increased awareness of how ethics and the ethical decision making process can affect managerial decisions. Furthermore, through the Business Analysis Project expected in this course, I now know more clearly how to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a business as these are affected by economics, technology, and globalization. I know I am in a better position to monitor the business environment more closely and be more strategic in developing and implementing strategies and tactics to deal with rapidly changing markets. Samantha: That’s great! Sounds like I’ll be learning some important concepts that will help me as a business manager. That leads me to my next question.

...A Closer Look at Business Education June 2007 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ : Bottom of the Pyramid INTRODUCTION: Global poverty exists today at a startling scale; while the exact numbers are debated, some estimate that four billion people worldwide live on less than two dollars a day.1 According to C.K. Prahalad and Stuart Hart, both Aspen Institute Faculty Pioneer Award recipients, companies should not ignore these traditionally overlooked people, collectively dubbed the “Bottom of the Pyramid,” because of their considerable combined purchasing power.2 Thus, if companies are innovative enough to create or tailor their products to the economic realities and life needs of these people, a significant profit can be won. At the same time, this group’s entry into the market would hopefully better their quality of life and aid in regional economic development. Three well-publicized examples will help illustrate the base-of-the-pyramid concept. First, Grameen Bank was started by Nobel Prize laureate Muhammed Yunus in Bangladesh to offer mini-loans to entrepreneurs who wouldn’t qualify for traditional bank loans based on collateral.3 As of May 2007, over seven million people have...

...Online Takes the Cake Abstract Pursuing an online MBA program over an on site-program has numerous advantages. Adult learners can fit advanced education into their already hectic schedules, degrees can be obtained in half the time and class schedules are flexible. For these reasons, online education has been the fastest growing segment of higher education. But because it is so unlike traditional classroom-based instruction, many questions have been raised about the quality of the education offered in the online modality (Carrol & Burke, 2010, p. 65). After an extensive survey of the literature, the U.S Department of Education issued a report concluding that the online or hybrid modalities are more effective then face-to-face instructions (Carrol & Burke, 2010, p. 66). Many students rely on online programs to complete an MBA because of the increasing demands from the workplace and busier schedules. Today’s competitive job market has also increased the need for advanced degrees. These programs are fueled by the increased capabilities of technology that allow students to successfully learn and complete their degrees outside of the traditional classroom environment (Anonymous, 2010). Recognizing the advantages and disadvantages of pursing an MBA degree online, understanding how online degree programs work and finding the right program for you as an individual are important steps that each student needs to evaluate and complete before choosing which program they are...
