I sometimes get asked “what should I major in” to which my
reply is universally “well, what do you want to do?” Usually a conversation follows where they are
looking for a degree that has utility in their current profession but that will
cross over to other careers, public and private if ...

During a brief discussion with my brother this weekend I
came to an epiphany, there is a difference between “Organizational Leadership”
and “Leadership” as an academic study. I
know the two sound the same and there are many similarities but the two are
entirely different in their approach and end game. ...

It's hard to describe something like an MBA as soft. It's akin to describing a porcupine as cuddly but nonetheless I have noticed more and more reports in the media about how "soft skills" are becoming increasingly important in the workplace and thus in B-schools.

In this case the graduate likes to reiterate the fact that he has an MBA, uses shop jargon taught in business school around people who are unfamiliar ...

I read an article in the Post Tribune tonight on how business schools were admitting a greater number of applicants directly from undergraduate programs into graduate programs in order to curb a slight decline in MBA enrollments in the last 3 years at some schools. Schools like Stanford, Harvard and the University of Texas. I found ...

Almost anyone in business can tell you, the world of business is becoming increasingly global. I’ve made no bones in the past about how important an MBA can be for ones future prospects at getting ahead. Though I am still debating as to whether this is because of the skills you learned due to your MBA studies or the sheer fact ...

I've started to recently wonder if people are boosted towards success by their degree (which is what many online schools advertise) or if the success is due to the byproduct of getting that degree which is an education. In getting a degree you of course are exposed to all sorts of new ideas and ways of doing things. You will be ...
