Back to the Drawing Board: Postgraduate Courses are on the Rise
Despite the global economic downturn interest in business education has not depleted; in fact postgraduate business qualifications such as the MBA are more popular than ever as people strive to improve their marketability and expand their commercial acumen. However with the high price of such a qualification it is imperative to attend the right business school and there are more than a few to choose from and more than a few charlatans misleading the general consumer.
This is why European CEO magazine has decided to research which institutions are truly amongst the elite; providing a distinct answer as to which is the best academic establishment in your region no matter where you are in the world. The institutions were judged on their ability to create new models for delivering contemporary management and their ability to produce trained corporate executives with clear insight into value-based management. Also taken into account are the relationships between the institutions and their business partners as well as its innovation, flexibility and forward-thinking in creating the next quota of business brains. Nominations were submitted by European CEO subscribers and the high level of interest clearly indicates how business education is on the minds of the global economic community.
