MBA DEGREE EDUCATION HAS COME A LONG WAY.
Founded in 1900, the Truck School of Business at Dartmouth, US is the first graduate school of management. It was the first institution conferring advanced degrees (Master s) in the commercial sciences, the forebearer of the modern MBA. Further, the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business (now the University of Chicago Booth School of Business) introduced the Executive MBA programme in 1940 for working professionals. The MBA degree may have come a long way since then in shape and form, But it is still considered one of the most coveted degrees. The focus of MBA education must shift in order to meet the challenges of an increasingly complex marketplace. Master of essential knowledge, functional skills such as accounting, strategy finance, marketing and leadership, remains valuable, but instead of being an end in itself, this knowledge must be a means to an end, laying the groundwork for the entrepreneurial mindset. This mindset is important for successful leadership in a wide range of organizational setting, from start-up to multinational firm. The MBA is not an academic degree, but a professional qualification. Most people look at MBA Degree as a terminal degree for pursuing the profession of management. However, some executives do come back to the campus for further studies, either when they want to change careers or to do doctoral work. The reasons for doctoral work are diverse. They may want to be independent consultant/professionals and a doctoral degree may add to their credentials. They feel that it is time to give back to society and would like to enter the world of academia. However, even after combining all these reasons, one does not find too many MBAs opting for research. There may be individual cases of female MBAs opting out of corporate life for a Ph.D. during their sabbatical period, but most applicants to Ph.D. programmes in management come from other disciplines such as commerce, psychology, economics, mathematics, statistics and such others. There is nothing odd about it, as an MBA is not a prerequisite for a Ph.D. in management without any exposure to ‘management education and, therefore, have to spend a lot of time tuning themselves to the requirements of MBA Education. Master of essential knowledge- functional skills such as accounting, strategy finance, marketing and leadership – remains valuable, but instead of being an end in itself, this knowledge must be a means to an end, programmes in management come from other disciplines such as commerce, psychology, economics, mathematics, statistics and such others. There is nothing odd about it, as an MBA is not a prerequisite for a Ph.D. in management without any exposure to ‘management education.. In India most MBA join the industry and only a few enter academics directly. However, some may opt for further education after their MBA Education even if they don t want to enter academic. Such individuals may go in for legal education or pursue Ph.D. in business management, operations management, MBA Distance Education, organizational management, finance and so on. IIM-Calcutta is also looking at establishing a consortium of B-School in India to jointly deliver a doctoral programme in management.
Why You Should Get Leadership Training
Choosing to undergo leadership training has got to be one of the most courageous decisions you can make for your career. Not everyone is prepared to go the extra mile for their careers, or to handle all the responsibilities that go with being a leader–as a matter of fact, not everyone even wants to think about what they will be facing as leaders. Opting to undergo leadership training there is already a very good sign that you just might have the right stuff to be a leader. Before you start, ask yourself these questions: Why do I want to develop my leadership skills? Am I really interested in becoming a leader? Am I just getting into it so I could be considered for a promotion, or do I really think that I have a solid vision for the company, that I could bring a lot to the table, and that I am capable of guiding it towards success? Sure, it is perfectly all right to take leadership training workshops because you intend for your newfound skills to work for your career advancement. But if what you’re after is just the prestige of being recognized as a leader and landing a higher position with a higher pay, then you might need to rethink your priorities. Leadership training is not just all about grooming you for bigger and better positions up the corporate ladder. It also helps you develop an idea how organizations work and how you can ensure its success. You will know that being a leader doesn’t just mean finding a person and telling him or her what to do. Leadership training shows you exactly what leadership is all about and how to be prepared. First of all, you will learn to let go of any misconceptions you have about leadership and also take a look at your own character. You will learn about important traits you and every other leader should have. Leadership training will teach you some skills as well, such as strategic thinking; assertiveness; decision making; organization, communication and listening skills, among a great many others. You can always undergo leadership training at your leisure or find out if your company conducts such workshops; inquire at your HR department for more information. You can also look up career specialists online and ask them about their workshops and what topics they focus on. Leadership training is a crucial part of exploring your career’s potential, but don’t forget that it will also improve your life and enrich your personality.
Understanding Characters and Choosing the Right Person for the Job
Perhaps the most important part of creating a working team is to understand the importance of different characters and what they can each bring to your organization. This means firstly respecting and understanding all the different skills that your different employees can offer (or your family!). A big part of leadership is delegating and that means you need to know each member of your team well enough to know who is best suited to which job. You can get a workload completed twice as efficiently, simply by giving the right jobs to the right people! This also means respecting and acknowledging that your team will be better experienced and better equipped than you in some areas. This is important because it is another way you will show respect and give them more autonomy. BUT you should have enough understanding of each of their roles to understand what they’re doing and to help offer direction. A good leader in an IT firm should know a little about SEO, a little about coding and a little about marketing so that they can help each member work together. What’s also important though is to understand the differences in personalities, which can also help you to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of each team member and help you to better relate to problems they might be having. Some psychometric tests will define people in a business as falling into one of the four main ‘types’: Dominant Expressive Introverted Relational The dominant type of course is the ‘type A’ personality who is loud, driven and high achieving. They might make a good leader someday but they will also undoubtedly rub people up the wrong way until they get some experience under their belt. The expressive type is the great communicator who is the natural sales person and should thus be given those types of tasks. Introverts are self-motivated and work well on their own but they may be shy (not always) and would probably not be the right people to give presentations or sales tasks to. Conversely, they might be quite creative and useful in those scenarios. Finally, you have the relational type who is driven by their outward relations and who is a great peace maker and communicator. These people can provide the glue in a team and help to prevent arguments. What is the best type of personality for your team? All of them! And if you are going to be making a small splinter cell to send to a trade show or to work on a particular project, you’ll want to try and include one of each type of person in order to get the most from them all. That way you’ll have a lot of different influences, ultimately resulting in the best final outcome. Of course you can go much deeper than that too with tests like the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Test – but this is a very lengthy and in depth measure and very time consuming. Ultimately no psychometric test will offer a perfect or complete picture of a person’s personality but the key is simply to know your team as well as is possible and to understand how they work with other members of the team and where you can put them to get the most out of them.
Honorary Doctorate Award
What is An Honorary Doctorate Award? An honorary doctorate Award is the highest award conferred by a University System. An honorary doctorate award constitutes recognition of distinctive achievement that has added materially to knowledge and to the betterment of society and mankind at large. To be considered for an honorary doctoral Award, there are specific criteria that individuals must meet, and there are a variety of doctorate that they may be awarded. There are also many non-honorary doctorate options that require advanced education. Recipients of Honorary Doctoral Awards do not earn the degree through academic achievements; rather they receive these awards based on generous and altruistic actions or lifetime accomplishments that benefit a community, nation, or humanity in general. Some schools allow candidates to apply for consideration for the degree, while others require nomination by a third party. Each university that confers honorary degrees establishes its own criteria for acceptance. Recipients may receive more than one honorary degree, but never from the same school twice. A candidate does not necessarily have to be an alumnus of the awarding school, though many schools prefer to recognize their own graduates or individuals who have made a contribution to the school. Beneficiaries of the prized degree may use the title of ‘Doctor’ that the degree confers, although they have not completed a doctorate program. Eligibility For An Honorary Doctorate Award An honorary doctorate award may be awarded to an individual who has achieved acknowledged eminence in cultural affairs, in public service, business or in a field of knowledge and scholarship, consistent with the ideals and purposes of the awarding university. An honorary doctorate recognizes the extraordinary and lasting distinction. Nominees need not have been educated at or otherwise associated with the awarding University before being conferred with the award. Honorary Doctorate Awards are not awarded to encourage or reward financial contributions to the universities. However, honorary awards may serve as a way of identifying with or honoring individuals who are highly regarded for achievements in their fields of endeavor. Administrative or Nomination fee may be required from exempt nominees. Honorary Award Criteria While many colleges and universities provide their own strict criteria for honorary candidates, an honorary doctoral award may only be given to an individual with sustained lifetime achievement, rather than Candidacy for the degree often represents a school’s prominent vocation or pursuit. However, MBS puts more emphasis on the prolonged bearing of an individual’s accomplishment. MBS requires the honoree to be present at the time the award is conferred. MBS allows honorary doctoral award to be awarded posthumously, and the degree may be accepted by the honoree’s family or colleagues. Review Process The nomination and review process is confidential. No disclosure is to be made until after Board of Regents review and the institution’s subsequent invitation to the nominee. Honorary degrees are to be awarded in person and/or in absentia only in exceptional cases. A degree may be awarded posthumously to a nominee if, after accepting the chancellor’s invitation, the nominee’s death occurs before the scheduled conferral. In awarding honorary degrees, MBS do not assume any legal obligations. The recipients receive no honorarium. The honoree shall have the right to refer to himself/herself as “doctor” and permit others to do so as well after being conferred an honorary doctoral degree “honoris causa” as evidenced by a Testamur issued under the seal of the University. Honorary Doctorate Award Types Depending on the achievement, MBS may present different types of honorary doctoral Awards. They may offer only a Doctor of Philosophy degree, or bestow a degree based on the accomplishments of the recipient. A few examples include: Doctor of Humane Letters: acknowledging the academic distinction Doctor of Laws: awarded to professionals in the field of law Doctor of Science: recognizing revolutionary scientific research and discovery Doctor of Business Administration: conferred on successful entrepreneurs Doctor of Fine Arts: conferred primarily to musicians, actors, architects, and artists Doctor of Public Administration: recognizing public servants, and politicians that have made a positive impact on humanity through good governance Doctor of Divinity, bestowed upon exceptional religious figures, etc. Award Selection Process Based on the type of honorary doctoral award being awarded, the Honorary Award Committee reviews nominations. Candidates or nominating parties typically must submit a minimum of a nomination form and biography by a specified deadline through: [email protected]. The Honorary Award Committee reviews all documentation and presents its recommendations to the Board of Regents of MBS through the faculty. The school notifies accepted honorees and confers the awards during regular graduation ceremonies. Meanwhile, the school also appreciate a sizable donation from honorary degree recipients. Selection Procedures At least One month prior to the graduation ceremony at which an honorary award is to be conferred, and at least two weeks prior to a regularly-scheduled Board of Regents meeting of the school, MBS award committee shall forward to the Secretary of the Board of Regents of the school: (1) a letter indicating the name of the nominee(s) and expressing the president approval; (2) the curriculum vitae or resume of the nominee(s); and (3) letters of recommendation and other documentation of the contributions of the nominee and the merits of the nominee as an honorary degree recipient. It is the responsibility of the MBS award committee to exercise due diligence in ensuring that a nominee is of high moral character. Upon the timely receipt of an honorary degree nomination from MBS award committee, the Secretary shall: (1) review nominations to verify consistency with the requirements of this policy and to confirm, to the extent possible, that a nomination poses a low risk of reputation harm to the University; (2) if any concerns are identified, consult with the President of the Board of Regents as appropriate; (3) after any concerns are addressed, place the nomination on the agenda of the Board’s next regular meeting for Board of Regents review; and (4) notify the representative of a favorable review by the Board.

How to Make Your Career Goals Happen
Too many people have mistaken ideas when it comes to their approach to their careers. We often believe that working incredibly hard in jobs that we don’t truly enjoy is ‘responsible’ and what adults should do. We often feel that we don’t really have any choice when it comes to what we do for a living. We often feel scared to try anything else.And this is why so many of us are unhappy in our careers: we just ‘let them happen’ and accept the career path that we fall into. We leave school or college, take the first job opportunity that comes our way, and then work hard to progress up the ladder. We never take a moment to actually ask: is this what I want? Do I have a choice? Here are some ways to apply the principles that we’ve discussed to making progress in your career… Knowing What You Want The first and most important thing to focus on here is step 3 – coming up with your plan. It’s time to acknowledge that you don’t have to continue working a job you don’t like and there’s no reason that you even need to focus on your career at all. The first myth we need to dispel then is the notion that you need to get your sense of satisfaction and progress from your career at all. That is to say that you should be able to get the same satisfaction from a hobby. We often feel that our sense of self-worth and achievement is tied up in our careers and that we need to work harder and harder in order to feel like we’re progressing in life. But while you might be CEO of a logistics company, you are still ultimately in charge of making sure people get staplers – when your passion might be painting works of art.This is why you can often do better to simply switch your focus to your ‘extra-curricula activities’. My sister did this as an artist when she realized that the reality of her intended field (creating props for movies) was not quite as idealistic as she had hoped. So instead, she took on a job that would pay the bills by working as a saleswoman and then used her spare time to work on her creations in her own time. She has gone on to receive quite a following on social media and has sold several of her works to private buyers. So although her career isn’t something she gets particularly excited about, she still gets that sense of progress and excitement and doesn’t need to keep taking on more responsibilities to feel happy and fulfilled.And that also brings us to the other point: your wealth isn’t entirely determined by your career either. You can just as easily augment your income through other means. This is once again why it is important to consider the precise nature of your goals – if your goal is to be richer, then you can do it by shrinking expenses, by finding other sources of income etc. If your goal is to get more status then you may be happy to progress in your current career. If it is to be fulfilled in your artist endeavors, or to be acknowledged for your ideas, then you may prefer to focus on working on projects outside the office. This is essentially what we refer to as ‘lifestyle design’. Lifestyle design means that you’re focussing on what you can do to create your perfect lifestyle and you’re looking for the path of least resistance to get there. Heck, it might mean creating income from elsewhere so that you can afford to work 4 days a week. Why not! Creating a Fool-Proof Strategy We’ve address the power that fear can have over us and the way it can prevent us from going after our goals. This is especially true when it comes to achieving things in our careers. And for that reason, it makes sense for us to take a look at some of the things we can do to make our career goals less risky. For example, a lot of people will make the statement that they want to look for another job but that they can’t because they have too many responsibilities. They might even make the unfounded claim that they wouldn’t be able to find another that would pay the same salary… without looking! The same goes for starting a part-time business. You don’t have to immediately transition from one job to another when you can simply use your spare time in the evenings or in the weekends to work on your new business idea. Only once you are certain it works should you then consider leaving your current job in order to take on the new one and this will present you with another risk-free way to transition to a job or career you love. You can even try reducing your work hours and then use that extra free time in order to work on your business. Take a part-time job and during your longer free hours, work on your business project. The same goes for investment. If you need investment to create a business idea then there are lots of risk-free ways to get it. Using Kickstarter these days is a great option for example and involves zero risks as well as a great way to test the reception for your idea. Likewise, you could ask your parents for investment, you could get a business partner friend, or you could take out a credit card loan. As long as you don’t quit your current job, you can just make sure that the loan repayment terms are something you could manage to pay off if you had to and that way, you won’t be putting yourself at any risk.If you really want to make this happen, then you can always find a way.And if you have assessed your vision and you just want to

10 Steps to Success With Kaizen
Mr. Masaaki Imai is the first person to introduce Kaizen to the world outside of Japan. He used his book “Kaizen, the Key to Japan’s Competitive Success” in order to help spread the word. In this article, we are going to look at 10 steps to success with the Kaizen art of continuous improvement. Step One: Continue Learning To start with, it is important that you realize that kaizen is unconventional. This means that it is not necessary to continue learning all our lives through. Therefore, the basic idea is to realize that as you go along in life, you should always have to keep learning because new and innovational ideas are continuously popping up around every corner … the world continues to grow, and so should your mind. Step Two: Continue thinking about how YOU can do Something People have a tendency to focus on the negative – are you a victim of “negative thinking?” Instead of focusing on the things you are not able to do, what you should be doing right now is focusing your mind on those things you can do. This is called being an optimistic forward thinker. Continue down this path and before you know it, you’ll be accomplishing something new that you never thought was possible. Always keep your mind forward and focus on the outcome and instead of finding ways that the outcome cannot be accomplished, find ways that the outcome CAN be accomplished. Three: Eliminate Those Excuses “I didn’t do this because ” stop right there – stop making excuses. Making excuses is the biggest excuse in the book not to do something. Start by seeking answers to current practices by asking questions. Focus on the outcome and then start to take action. If you continue to try, you won’t get stuck – you will continuously go in a forward motion. Step Four: Never give up and never strive for perfection “Giving up” shouldn’t even be in your vocabulary. Giving up is failure and that is not acceptable. On the same level, you must never strive for perfection, because by doing so, you are only setting yourself up for failure. Once you have accomplished something up to a certain point, don’t just walk away, instead, keep at it until you have completed it all the way. Yes, of course, there may be problems along the way, but as you go along, you can make adjustments. Step Five: Correct the mistakes As you’re doing something, mistakes are probably going to pop up at unexpected times. If this happens, don’t keep going. Instead, find the solution to the mistake. Find out where you went wrong so that you can avoid that mistake the second time. It goes without saying “we learn from our own mistakes.” If the mistake involves other people, then do everything you can do in order to correct it as quickly as possible. Step Six: Don’t forget about your intelligence Don’t just spend money for kaizen, you should also be using your intelligence. The key to this is action. Start off by learning everything you need to know, then take action based on what you have learned. Step Seven: Challenges are learning opportunities Everyone has their own challenges they have to get through in life. When a challenge walks in your path, you should recognize it as a learning opportunity. Honestly, if we didn’t have these challenges, we probably wouldn’t learn as much as we know today. Obstacles will pop up most everywhere when you least expect it. Just remember that everything you do will make you become a better person. Jump over those hurdles, learn to overcome them and be rewarded for those actions in the end. After one challenge goes away, another challenge may pop up in front of you, so be prepared to jump over that one as well. Step Eight: Don’t be afraid to ask “Why” So many people are afraid of the question “why.” Does that sound like you? Stop being afraid, there is nothing wrong with asking why. By asking why, you will be able to discover what the base of the task is that you want to accomplish it will help you understand it better. By understanding why something needs to be done, your chances of completing the task from start to finish will increase. Also, you should also consider the fact that by asking “why” and learning the reason behind it, you will be adding to your knowledge. Step Nine: Group thinking is a good thing Group thinking is something that you should think about. In our opinion, it is always better to seek the wisdom of ten people, than the knowledge of one person. You see, there is a tremendous amount of power in “group thinking.” This could involve holding a meeting with a group of people and brainstorming together – this is how things get done.
