Master of Business Administration (MBA)
WHY THE MBA @ WUB?
The Master of Business Administration (MBA) is a postgraduate qualification in business administration and is an increasingly popular program offered by business schools around the world. It attracts students from a wide range of academic disciplines and working background.
A typical MBA program consists of foundation courses, general courses and specialization courses or major. Students traditionally study a wide breadth of foundation courses in the program’s first semester, then pursue the general courses in the second and third semesters followed by the major courses in the final semesters. The foundation and general courses in the MBA program introduce students to the various areas of business such as accounting, economics, finance, international business, organizational behavior, marketing, strategy, operations management etc. After completing these courses, students in the MBA program can choose an area of concentration or specialization.

Skills Development
The skills you learn in your MBA classes can be divided into two types: hard and soft skills. Hard skills include business and organization knowledge such as economics, finance, marketing, operations, management, and accounting. Our MBA program offers specialization in several disciplines especially retail marketing, e-commerce, marketing management, corporate finance, textile and apparel management, human resource management, real estate management, etc; thus, providing opportunities to study in domains with greater depth. Such programs allow students to become very specialized and can help them advance in their chosen field of study.
On other and, soft skills denote to leadership, teamwork, morals, and interaction skills that a good manager need to possess. In an MBA class, the assessment is based on assignments, case studies, and presentations. Student learn teamwork, leadership, ability to motivate and coordinate with others. WBS MBA helps to build on communication skills as well as knowledge about the changing economic and social world. An added advantage for pursing an MBA enhances one’s ability to listen and speak carefully and clearly, and the ability to put across one’s arguments about the business problem in a more illustrative way.

Networks
An MBA degree program offers access to a network of MBA students, alumni, faculty, business and community leaders. Many MBA alumni form lifetime friendship and business partnership from the contacts in their MBA classes. As many of the students will become very successful in the future, such network can be very profitable and rewarding. In a typical MBA class you will find not only students from your industry but also from other parts of the country.

Networks
Earn a better salary. The MBA will make you more marketable when you switched company. Also, the skills you learned will increase your performance and managerial competence, enabling you to advance further and faster in your career. An MBA is sometimes a requirement of some large multinational companies or consulting companies to join their management team.

Personal Development
The MBA program will help develop you in the areas of critical thinking skills, strategic and tactical planning, leadership, interpersonal and communication skills, increased organization abilities and the ability to see the organization as a whole.

Return on your Investment
An MBA takes a lot of effort and sacrifices. You need to contemplate if it is worth it. The decision depends very much on your career goals and objectives. If you wish to pursue areas of management (especially in the corporate sector) then an MBA is a viable option.
Also, bear in mind that the MBA is not an end in itself. The MBA merely builds you a good foundation and gives you the ability to develop your career to its fullest potential, at an accelerated pace.

Career Advancement
You may want to gain a position of greater responsibility in your current field. Or you may want to switch from one area of business to another-from marketing or sales to strategic planning or finance, for example.
An MBA is undertaken by a person who is employed. It is necessary to enhance his skills and credentials in the market place. Considering the busy schedule of a candidate, the MBA at WSB adopts a blending learning approach. This means in addition to classroom live lectures; the materials will be available in a Learning Management System (LMS). The LMS can be accessible by the student in all settings which means he or she can access class materials while he/she is traveling or at any time of the day. This gives the student the necessary flexibility and pace in learning and completing assignments. Not only that, students can skip attendance of classes when stuck in traffic or when workload at workplace is intense.
