MBA the Best Career
India's romance with MBAs is clearly not over yet. A new
study by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) has indicated that
graduates from full-time two-year MBA programs in India this year with job
offers expect an increase in earnings of more than 200% from their pre-degree
earnings, much higher than the 80% salary increase for all full-time two-year
MBA graduates worldwide.
Not only are the salaries higher but 88% of Indian
employers plan to hire MBAs in 2012, in line with the 89% of Indian employers
that reported hiring MBAs in 2011.
Demand for MBA new hires in the Asia-Pacific region is
also expected to be strong in 2012, with 80% of companies reporting plans to
hire MBAs in the coming year, an increase of 9% from last year.
The GMAC conducted a survey of graduate management
education students in their final year of business school. This survey
collected responses from 5,366 graduate management students at 136 business
schools worldwide in February and March of 2012.
Overall, 62% of job seekers in the class of 2012 had an
offer of employment at the time of the survey. Offers of employment for 2012
graduates of part-time and executive MBA programmes were high as well with 64%
boasting of job offers in hand. This nearly matched the all-time record set in
2001, when 66% of students had job offers.
GMAC director (research communication) Michelle Sparkman
Renz said, "This data is reflective of the global economy where Asia is
stimulating growth. This is seen in the regional differences in goals companies
are focused on in 2012, as well as where Asian firms plan to place talent in
locations to work.''
Not only are companies in Asia-Pacific likely to hire
more people than US firms but also likely to place them outside their home
region. The Corporate Recruiters Survey conducted by GMAC said Asian firms were
extremely growth focused including more than half of Asian firms looking to expand
their customer base (52%) in the coming year, or expand geographically in 2012.
This is the
era of niche, Nano and super specializations. If that’s the case, why should
MBAs be left out? India still hasn’t included out-of-the-box, non-conventional
MBA specializations in its curriculums.
Health Care Management
Considering Medical Tourism an MBA with a Health Care Management
specialization should be a fruitful choice. Depending from one university to
the other, a mandatory science background may be required.
Learning how
to run hospitals, facilitate relationships with medical professionals,
strategizing for medical supplies and marketing Medicare is a big deal these
days. And with this specialization, you’ll surely have an edge over others.
Arts Management
We’ve met
many people who have a flair for business as well as the creative. Or people
who are fundamentally creative, but want to develop their business side. Any
types of art schools are obviously not the right choice for them.
The MBA with
Arts Management sounds like the right thing to do. From venue and facilities
management to museum administration to art management theories to dealing with
saleable art cross borders – this is one really exciting MBA specialization to
have.
Sports Management
You would
obviously need to have a natural interest in sports to pursue this
specialization. You’ll get to know the structures and policies of the
sports industry, its commercial and community related aspects. If you’re the
type who would love to deal with problem areas like performance enabling sports
drugs, sports person behavior, athlete injury services and sports marketing and
sponsorships, by all means pick this MBA.
Tourism Management
We think a
combination of a business degree with a tourism speculation is a deadly
combination. It would offer a scope much more than a plain IATA certificate,
don’t you think?
The travel industry has always offered lucrative careers. And
with the recent boom of the internet, it’s got a double boost. Imagine
acquiring skills about niche travel, tourism operation and booking systems,
sustainable tourism, eco-tourism, luxury travel and budget tourism. Wow, the
possibilities are endless.
Supply Chain Management
This
specialization is not really rare but still entered Indian MBA curriculums
courses as much as we would like it to. Do you know this focus area can
directly position you for a prosperous career with a giant FMCG company?
The catch
though is that you need a mandatory science background for this one. If
monitoring the entire process of sourcing raw materials, maintain inventory
work-in-process inventory, dealing with tactical and logistical problems and
ensuring the products are perfect until packaging excite you, pick this MBA
specialization that will offer you tons of opportunities in India and abroad.
Marketing,
Finance and HR sound boring against all these fancy sounding specializations,
don’t they?
Make sure you
have your career plan crystal clear in your head before you pursue any of these
specializations. Even small things like where you plan to settle after your
studies should make a play a huge role in determining your specialization
beforehand.
Doing an MBA
(Sports Management) from Australia may not be a bid deal for Indian employers
(not yet at least). But it makes sense if you’re in Australia, since it is a
sports loving country.
