Masteral - Any Plans?

[transcience]

i'm thinking of the mba-jd program in dlsu. otherwise, it's up for me.

[LB]

I'm planning to take public admin or any business/mgt course. The goal is to venture to another field. Also, in pursuit of a higher position.

Having to go to a masteral course enables one to rediscover his or

herself...

i'm presently taking my grad studies. one year to go. hayyy!

 

MBA sa Ateneo Graduate School of Business

 

i love the way that they not only teach you all about management and leadership in today's world but inculcating in you the values of being selfless and committed.

The MBA-jd program of DLSU and FEU does not have very good feedback. It's sort of like a program with an identity crisis... and you end up half-baked in two specializations. Better if you take mba and law separately.

How many graduates implement this? I have had classes about being selfless but the rich don't do this.

That's one biased opinion against the DLSU-FEU program. I'll need a couple more to decide.

that's why i decided not to take up mba. instead i took up MA in literature and MFA in creative writing. the arts make one more emphatic, i think.

 

i know some people who had finished their MBA (some even at AIM and ivy league schools) but couldn't make black their bottomline.

 

still, mba is mba. a good venue to learn from others.

complicated8 - you know what? i agree with you. but that is not the fault of the school.

 

adults go into grad studies and by this time, their personalities, mindsets, attitudes, and values have all been hardened into the core of their being. there's not a lot of new tricks that you can teach old dogs.

 

but saying that schools such as ateneo should stop promoting ethics and values just because not a lot of graduates "implement" them is like saying that we should get rid of all traffic lights since they're not much followed anyway.

 

my mom, who's been a university professor (not in ateneo) for 29 years, used to fret that no matter how hard she tries to guide students to make the right choices, no matter how difficult they can be, there are those who just let their life go to waste. she said she tried all sorts of tricks and methods and invented new ones to keep those lessons on critical thinking alive in the students' brains just as much as balancing books and compounding elements. and it broke her heart everytime.

 

did she give up? no.

 

but she has learned a new point: schools can only do so much to influence the critical thoughts and values of a person. in the end, it's up to the person to live these lessons and values everyday. if the person refuses, heck it's none of the school's fault. but you cannot say that the school didn't try.

 

corporations at the cutting-edge of growth nowadays put an emphasis on values and ethics, believe it or not.

 

the corporate world has been rocked badly by the scandals at enron, the collapse of the barings bank, halliburton, worldcom, and xerox have forced many CEOs and corporations to strengthen their commitment to ethics. corporate leaders nowadays have become the strongest advocates of corporate integrity.

 

texas instruments, which sits at No. 167 in the Fortune 500 list for 2005, is proud of its reputation for integrity. its CEO considers the company's reputation to be a priceless asset.

 

today's companies cannot survive into the next decade if they do not have any clear idea on what their corporate MISSION, VISION, CULTURE, AND VALUES are. yup. it's no longer just mission and vision today. top companies define themselves by their culture and values too.

 

i feel sorry for companies whose managers of tomorrow are today's unscrupulous lot whose sole interest in running a business is for self-wealth and who have zero idea on what values are. if this person doesn't have any good set of values, he/she cannot even be capable of determining the company's values too.

 

so yes, to answer your comment, not a lot of graduates implement the school's teachings, which i take to mean that not a lot of graduates have their own sets of personal values.

 

just because they don't doesn't make them right.

planning to take US online Masters....after my job project this year.... :mtc:

[mrxtacy2003]

Taking up a masters degree not only gives you a more solid foundation on the career track you would want to pursue but what is more important is using this as a venue to develop your network. This is usually true and unspoken especially in MBA courses.
