Comment on Top 10 Reasons to Get an MBA by anon

I do not agree with this assessment
1. having a degree does not quantify a knowledge base, it assists your knowledge base. Just because one receives a certification does not necessarily make them knowledgeable. Additionally, all MBAs are not created equal but the accreditation is the same – this makes it very blurry/
2. OK, but this is making the assumption that one does not have business experience – to get the most from an MBA experience, it is advisable to have some business experience.
3. maybe
4. yes, but is this seriously a reason? a bookstore may be a cheaper option
5. yes, this is true but should be emphasized a lot more
6. yes, very true – cases and scenarios are very helpful in exposing students to real business problems
7. maybe – the principles are sound but the world is changing and b-schools need to modify curriculums to stay current
8. true for a general mba program like esade – not true across the board
9. yes, but also disqualifies you from certain jobs that do not require an mba but may also be desirable
10. very true

Comment on How Important Are Internships to MBAs? by Emily Goll

Dear Tobias Caldeweyher,

I find the blog: “How Important are Internships to MBAs?” an important piece of advice for students pursuing an MBA degree. I think this blog is relevant not only to MBA students but also to students pursuing other degrees as it gives a general picture of the importance of internships.

My name is Emily, the editor at My Dog Ate My Blog. We have been blogging about politics, education, and technology for a few months now and we think it is about time to start reaching out to other passionate people.

I would love to have one of our bloggers write a guest post for My ESADE MBA. If you have any topic or style guidelines for guest posts, send them my way. We want to make sure that all edits are made by us but we are more than happy to incorporate your feedback into our post.

I am looking forward to talking with you more.

Why isn’t “keep it” an option on the poll? I said as my other suggestion: Keep it and update us on your career post-ESADE MBA.

Or you could do a combination of that, and transferring it to another student. So, allow the other student to be the main contributor, but also update us with your story, and those of your classmates who have graduated. I know many people are interested in what the post-MBA experience is like.

so we’ve got the perspective of an ESADE student, an IESE alum, and prospective IE student all in one post :) Pretty good. I’ll be sure to report back once I actually get to IE and find out about the program first hand.

Excellent Article!

If I could write like this I would be well chuffed ;-)

The more I read articles of such quality as this (which is rare), the more I think there might be a future for the Web. Keep it up, as it were.

You totally right when you recommend to look beyond rankings, visit the school and talk to participants.
I myself did IESE full-time MBA in 2008 and today, with hindsight, I’m more convinced then ever that I did the right choice. IESE uses the bell curve evaluation which by itself is quite competitive, but competition is not bad thing if there’s a good, healthy environment and I must say that is one of the strongest aspects of IESE, the competition you will make you work harder and learn more but you will get plenty of support from your team and class mates.
IESE is the 1st MBA in the world by the Economist, but each candidate have to find their own 1st MBA and this is done by making your own criteria. Hope you find yours!
